COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

Judging by the papers, there's dis
satisfaction with the workings of
commission government in the city of
Houston. 1t appears that the public
business is conducted in secret; that
SENS to be the starting point for what
the papers tell us is general dissatis-
faction
We think the trouble, assuming
there is such, arises from that pro-
vision of the charter which requires
the full time of the mayor and the
commissioners.
A city commission should be made
Hp, for the most part, of active husi-
ness men. These men should come
together once Or twice week, deter
mine on public policies, and then he
free to pursue their appointed lines
of business. All detail work should
be done by selected agents. But all
public business, OF course, should be
open tp the public.
Another wrong practice has grown
up under the commission form of
government, and this is the placing of
all matters under a certain head in
the hands of one commissioner The
as whole should pass
on questions as they arise. and this in
utmost freedom.
