PROGRESS OF THE CITY MAN
AGER" PLAN.


The "city manager" plan of munich
pal government, described by Mr. H. S.
Gilbertson in this Review for May,
1913, has been making rapid strides.
Although known originally as the
Lockport New York; plan, the first
city actually to adopt it was Sumter,
South Carolina, which voted for it on
June u, 1912. The scheme in brief, as
many of our readeys know, calls for a
single executive head of the city's af-
fairs, employed by and subject to a
popularity elected commission. The
first city manager chosen by Sumter
was a Virginia civil engineer, Mr.. M.
M. Worthington, who demonstrated his
special training and fitness for the
work by saving half his salary in one
or two items of city expenditure alone
Last November Mr.. William r. Ro-
bertson succeeded Mr.. Worthington as
city manager of Sumter. The smllef
communities of Hickory and Morgan
ton in North Carolina followed the ex-
ample of Sumter, becoming Getty man
ager" cities in the spring of last year.
The greatest publicity for the new
plan Of municipal government, how
ever has come from its adoption last
August by the important city of Day
ton, Ohio. with a population of up
wards of 115,000 Dayton had been suf-
fering from political mismanagement,
with its usual evils Of inefficiency and
extravaganza, and It's citizens had be-
come aroused Of the necessity Of lift
ing the city out of its wretched condi-
ton. A vigorous campaign Of educa-
ton, handicapped by the dreadful
flood conditions of last year, resulted
in homo rule charter, embodying the
city manager plan and drafted by a
board of fifteen elected freeholders,
which was adopted on August IL, 1913
After wide and thorough search for
an expert executive, Mr.. Henry NJ
Waite, city engineer OF Cincinnati, was
selected as manager. In the same
month Springfield, Ohio, with nearly
fifty thousand inhabitants, followed
Dayton in adopting the new plan
since then number of smaller cities

In all of the discussions pro and
con over the postoffice department
management between Postmaster Gem
eral Burleson and the members of
Congress with regard to the deficit
and the proposed enlargement of the
parcel post, so far not word has been
said about the real cause of postal de-
ficits-the ranking system. The pay
for Congressman is not any too high
and very likely a judicious use of The
system for the furtherance of political
success seems permissible to the men
who are benefitting from the pernici-
GUS plan But taken from the stand
point Of expense to the whole people,
there is little excuse for the system
existing. The pay of the congressman
could be doubled or tripled to give
them living salary and still save mill
lions which are being annually wasted
In the ranking system Maps are
compiled at a great cost and sent out
promiscuously as a salve for vote get
ting Tor the congressman. Not one in
ten thousand such recipients appre-
cfate the man or the courtesy The
same is true of the free Seeds sent c'--
alike to people living in the citi@r
where gardens are impossible. Mil
lions in good money go for this pur-
pose. Each Congressman uses the
franking system to send out personal
letters which have no value to the
government or-the people, but do help
to build up the political fences for
the men in congress. All of the above
items help to swell the volumn of
mail transported and help to boost the
big sums paid to the railroads. Yet
not a word is ever said about one of
the biggest gratis in the whole de-
partment. Some of the so-called pro-
