MAKING GOOD.

Galveston was the first city to try
the commission plan OF government,
which was started there when the
city was practically destroyed by
flood, in the year 1900.
The result was so satisfactory that
what was termed municipal fad
has spread all over the country to
over 800 cities in Sc states, and be-
come fixed system In municipal
government with prospects for I'M
limited extensions in the future.
~ And why? Because 1t has proved
TO be the most economical system
that has ever been devised. When
Galveston adopted the commission
plan the city was running behind
withe expenditures Of $1,000 900 per
year greater than receipts. improve
ments had stopped. and the total
debt was 100000 with floating
debt of 100000, the latter being
paid off In two years. In nine years
the city paid the 100000 indebt-
edpess over and above the running
expenses.

the recent flood. in its extremity.

government by vote OF more than
two to one and similar reports may
