an obstinate idea that the system is not adapted
to large municipalities. The Chicago Daily
News, always rather conservative in its editorial
viewpoint, has lately seemed to favor trial for
the city managership idea. The News says:
"In the field of municipal administration in
novations grow old rapidly. Thirteen years age
the commission form Of government was intro
duced in an American city Already more than
100000 persons in 300 cities are employing
that form of government. Now the National
Municipal League, in session in Toronto, is dis
cussing newer method of transacting citys
business. A special committee, appointed by the
league two years ago to study problems of com.
mission government and the results produced,
has reported that the employment of a city man
ager is especially to be desired. For one thing,
the committee believes that government by city
manager IL better adapted to the needs of large
cities than is the original form of commission
government used in Galveston, Des Moines and
elsewhere.
teThe chief shortcoming of the commission
plan is that it includes the election of heads of
administrative departments. These various de-
partments heads, acting together, constitute the
commission or legislative body of the city. The
. - =
city manager plan is logical development of
the commission plan It provides for an elective
commission to act as the legislative body OF the
city and to choose the executive head who is
given the title of city manager. He in turn
chooses the various heads of departments and
superyises the administration of the government
Since he has nothing to recommend him except
his fitness and since he can be removed for cause
he has q strong incentive to perform effective
service for the people sI. s
ePerhaps when Chicagos next charter con.
yention gets down Ito work it will find in the
newly devised plan of government important
features applicable to the situation in this com
munity, 1t is certain that Chicagos chief exec,
utive officer must soon cease to be the head q g
political machine must be judged solely by the
Quality 81. his service and must be held person
ally responsible for the results produced nnsler
his active supervision. e
