Using a chart he had prepared. Mr..
Childs demonstrated the workings of
the different governmental plans. Con-

that you adopt a plan which involves

who choose city manager, who in
turn presides over all departments
makes the appointments, and through
his subOrdinates executes the will OF
the people as interpreted to him by
the directors The function of the
directors is to tell what the people
want The fact that they have had tC

do not even have to abandon theil
