the next decade at 43S or iS5. with

compared with the present membership
OF 39l. This figure forestalls the pos

TOWNSHIP AND COMMISSION.

William f. Curtis writes his paper
that even in New England the COM
mission form of is sup
planting the township. All through
the history OF New England the reso-
lutions adopted by town meetings have
been handed down as indicating the
sentiment of the people. Lately, the
people of New England seem TO be
losing confidence in this bulwark of
freedom and this instrument of repre-
sentative government. and one town
after another is applying for permIs-
sion to adopt the commission form of
town and city administration
The initiative, referendum and re-
call provisions appeal forcibly to New
Englanders. When the townships were
small and most OF the citizens attended
town meetings that form of govern
mcnt was "a pure democracy. but now
that all do not attend and because the
town meeting is unwieldy, the COM
mission form OF government is the best
substitute for the immemorial assem-
blage.
