To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-In every city where the COM
mi ssion form Of government has been
adopted Il has been desperately fought
by the Interests" and the politicians.
We trust that this will not be the case
in Wilmington. In times past the com
mission form of government has been
opposed on the grounds that it had
not yet been proved to be sufficiently
are no more valid. for IL has been
vindicated in every essential Here rs
its record No city that has adopted
Il ever returned 10 the old system.
The commission form OF govern
ment has saved in certain depart
ments sixty per cent in efficiency
alone Il has never failed to be high
~ beneficial Il will be saving to
the taxpayer. Consider the condition
Of Wilmington. The tax rate Is con-
tinually being increased. Il is now
up 10 S2.1S. city and county. almost
double of what It is in Boston, or
what il need be. Recently it was
raised three cents. upon the promise
that In a year or so IL would be re-
duced. But now a plan is on foot TO
raise il still higher. Promises are
soon forgotten and with every in
crease OF taxes the hope Of getting
more is raised The tax rate Of Will
mington is now near what it was in
Des Moines when the people rose up
in indignation and instituted the com
mission form Of government The
conditions In Des Moines were much
like those OF Wilmington, being a
city OF exactly the same size. Now
there are not ten in a hundred who
are not satisfied with the administra-
ton
Take an example. Wilmington
needs a modern City Hall. The plan
for getting il is. to go 10 the Legisla-
ture. have a commission appointed to
bond the city for S1,3O0.000 OF course
the commission will draw salaries out
of the proceeds Of the bonds. and
draw them for years. And, when
the building is done, one-third of the
appropriation will be lost in inefiici-
ency Des Moines wanted new City
Hall The city commissioners built
it. 10 is a building famous for It's
architectural beauty The commits
sioners built IL out OF the regular
taxes, and did not issue single
bond but, indeed, lowered the tax
rate.
Notice what the Mayor of Trenton
says "The abolition OF salaried
boards. whose duties are now being
assumed by the Board of Commission
ers.- will be the means of consider
able saving each year TO the taxpay-
ers' Wilmington will in the course
OF the next three years save several
hundred thousand dollars by adopting
the commission form OF government
and having the Board OF Commits
sioners build the City Hall
Later | will show other features OF
the commission form OF government
