that Saskatoon should take the initia

the advantages OF which are now re-

are mainly the prevention Of over

with attendant waste Of public money
lack of proper transit facilities and
subdued or invisible aesthetic ideals.
In the opium of Commissioner Yorath,

for:
(a) The design Of a proper system

tramways.
90 The types of main, secondary
and residential roads.
Co The provision of open spaces

(d) The space about buildings

CITY MANAGER PLAN
HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Ciarinda's Report on First Year OF
Trial 10 Extremely Favorable
One.

The city manager plan which has
been tried out in Clarinda for year
has proven a success, according to
| word from that place. The following
is press telegram from that city
and will be Of interest in KeokuS, as
the manager has been suggested for
keokuk:
The plan has been in operation at
Clarinda one year and has been eX'
tremely successful, as the financial re-
port Of the city shows. T. A. Wilson,
practical business man, was selected
for the job Of city manager when that
form was decided upon and his salary
fived at $1,000 per year. While the
flaws of the state do not provide for
such manipulation Of city affairs, the
manager proposition was accomplish
ed by appointing Mr.. Wilson city clerk
and giving him complete authority to
manage all departments of the city s
affairs.
The annual report shows that Bust
ness Manager Wilson closed his first
year as general manager of the city OF
Clarinda with a balance OF $li .zb5. "a
in the treasury as against s12,9SS. 81
at the close of the previous year. His
total expenditures for the year amount
ed to s27,755.O1 as against s@O,31S.2i
of the previous year. In addition tc
this a payment Of $4,000 was made or
the municipal Indebtedness Of the city
on which no payment was reported
the preceding year.
The popularity of the business man
ager plan for Clarinda is further at
tested by the fact that six months al

manager, a vote was taken on propo
sition to adopt the commission plan

FEAST OF PASSOVER
TO BEGIN TONIGHT
This is Oldest One in Jewish Calen-
dar and Has Special Sig

The festival Of the Passover begins
tonight and will be observed by Jews
in Keokuk and all over the world.
This, the Oldest feast Of the Jewish
calendar, carries us back we'll nigh
thirty three hundred years. The awak-
ening of spring has its normal appeal
and its practical symbolism to every
primitive people. The agricultural as
pect of this holiday is seen in the
phrase THAT it is to be kept in the
season of the month OF ripenings,,
when the barley sown In winter has
become ripe and when an Offering
consisting of an omer (one-half gal
lcn) Of barley was brought in graft
tude to the Giver of all good.
The historical significance of the
festival has over-shadowed its asri'
cultural aspect AS the feast Of free
dom it commentaries the emanclpa
ton of Israel from Egyptian bondage
and the peoples entrance into the
dignity and destiny of national lie.
It thus marks the birth of the He
