GOVERNMENT FOR TOWNS.
Beaufort, S. c., Has Plan For Sinai
Municipalities.

municipalities.
One OF the Oldest settlements In the
south, in the conservative state OF
South Carolina. the town of Beaufort,
believes that 1t has developed scheme
which may solve the problems OF city
government for towns of 5000 popula-
ton or less
For large cities the commission form
OF government has proved successful'
and for cities somewhat smaller the
city manager plan is giving satisfac-
ton. But Beaufort could not afford
this plan, and, besides, there was not
need of an experts entire time in the
affairs of the city government.
SO n plan was evolved of combining
into one job the executive work Of the
municipality and the direction of the
affairs of the chamber of commerce.
The person who performs this twofold
function is TO be called the city super
visor, giving half of his time to the
city and half to the commercial body.
His salary of 81, 400 will be paid half
by the city and half by the chamber of
commerce.
Beaufort has not strictly speaking. n
commission form of government, but
Its council of seven members is chosen
by the people Mt large. The mayor Is
also recorder or city magistrate, and
there is city clerk. city marshal and
city health officer. The town owns
its own waterworks and electric light
plants. each under charge Of Il special
commission.
The city supervisor will have charge
Of all city property and city business,
subject to the advice and directions Of
the council He will thus have super.
vision over city accounting. building
and maintenance of streets. sewers
and drains: planting and care Of trees,
disposal of garbage, building of sen
walls and all structures. care OF the
guardhouse and public buildings and
OF the police, as well as other duties
which the actual working out OF the
plan will determine. The office OF
mayor with a nominal salary will con
tinue. that official presiding mt meet
ings of the council and acting us city
magistrate.
The advantages Of this combining OF
offices are readily apparent. The city
offices now become headquarters OF
the chamber OF commerce. rest room
for farmers and their families while
in town and an assembly room for the
chamber of commerce. The city clerk
becomes Office manager for the cham
Der of commerce and the city hail be
comes n center of more varied commu-
nifty activities.

seven great works, which prove to be
the very ones later appearing as the
seven wonders. They are ~ the walls

Olympia. 90 the hanging gardens Of

Of Rhodes, 90 the pyramids of Mem
