Modern Government for Jennings.

Modern Government for Jennings.
A despatch from Jennings to the
Crowley Signal says:
Jennings placed herself on the
map as a town of modern ideas
in municipal government when
she voted to adopt the commission
form of government by decisive
vote of $50 for to los against, it be-
ing, incidentally, one of the largest
votes ever polled in the town in any
election
'4The old regime made a gallant
fight against adopting the new form
of government, but public opinion
spoke too loudly for petty politics to
drown the sound and Jennings will
now take her place in the ranks of
American municipalities which believe
in conducting their governments on a
sound business basis and for the
greatest good to the greatest number
Of their citizens.
