Wisconsin City Mayor Has Nothing
But Praise for This Form of Gov

ELIMINATES PARTY POLITICS
Method Was Offered by Old Council
and Many Citizens Who Now Ap-
preciate Situation.

who, together with several of Be-

men, is taking much interest in tbs
commission form of municipal gov
eminent for this city, received the
following letter from Mayor Fleming
of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which city
has been under the plan for a short
time:
Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
K. K. Roe, ESQ.,,
Bemidji, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
Your letter. at hand, and in reply
will say that from study and exper-
fence I am satisfied that better re-
suits in the administration of NUM-
.cipal affairs are secured for less mon
ey, under the Commission Plan than
was possible under the old system of
Mayor and twenty councilmen.
The change to a non-partisan, sal
aried system permits simple, direct,
prompt, public disposition of NUM-
cipal business, and this pleases and
protects the taxpayers
Below submit summary of some
of the features and developments:
The change to an organized, SAL
aried system. 1t fixes responsibility;
eliminates partisan politics; obtains
respect for law and regulation; devel-
opes and extends interest of citizens
in plans and policies, transactions
and affairs of the municipality;
maintaining improved organization
for business. Council meetings are
regular, frequent, fully attended.
Hearing and reports are prompt and
thorough. Troubles and complaints
are quickly adjusted. Care and
economy in all lines. It presents
the necessity, opportunity and incen-
tive for officials to study, improve
and advance public interest.
Owing to the adverse financial con-
dition fixed against us by old council
of Mayor and twenty aldermen,
which was not in sympathy with new
plan, our tax rate this year is a little
higher than that of last year, but is
an average of past five years. Citi-
zens know and appreciate the situa-
ton, and freely state they do not ex-
pect much tax rate relief for at least
another year. It is also understood
that the rate does not fully measure
the results of administration, and we
are fully justified in stating that the
people are we'll satisfied with plan
and the outcome of our ten months OF
administration.
Trusting that this will assist you
and regretting oversight in not an
| swering your first communication
as we are always willing to give any
possible information along these
lines, I am
