ENGAGE VILLAGE MANAGERS.

Two Suburbs Of Chicago Have Adopt.
!, Cd This Plan Of Government.
The village Of Glencoe is the second
of Chicago's suburbs whose board of
trustees has delegated administrative
duties to a general manager. Follow
ing the example. of River Forest, which
adopted the plan last June and where
the whole village machinery is well
fabricated in consequence, Glencoe
chose Herbert H. Sherer from among
200 applicants to take charge on Feb.
1. He receives a salary Of $3.50 a
year.
Glencoe, like River Forest, has a
population Of $500. Both villages are
typical suburbs, most Of their men be-
ing employed in Chicago. The village
trustees, who serve without pay, are
men Of affairs in the city who cannot
give proper attention to the details OF
administration. The new manager Is
expected to coordinate the different de-
partments of the village, purchase sup
plies, employ workmen, o. X. bills, re-
port regularly to the board as to what
is being done and recommend such
changes as he may advocate.
During the seven months trial Of the
scheme in River Forest, say the trus-
tees of that village, its manager, Karl
NJ. Mitchell. has saved by a cost ac-
counting system and improved meth
DDS in the various departments far
o than has been paid him in salary.
Mr.. Mitchell had been connected with
the Chicago. Telephone company for
sixteen years. He had received train
ing at Northwestern university and the
University Of Chicago in finance. law
and business organization.
Mr.. Sherer made a record as superin-
tendent Of streets and alleys in Evans
ton, Ill. BY the use Of efficiency meth
DDS in his department he reports that
he saved the city $1,507.s2 during 1919.
In addition. $460.79 was returned to
the city treasury by the sale of -baled
waste paper and compost. His most
noteworthy accomplishment perhaps
has been the cleaning up Of alleys.
Armed with snapshots Of refuse and
junk piles, taken by his alley inspector.
he has obtained convictions against Of
tending householders.
Not only does the public support him,
but his workmen are for him to the
man. Some time ago he posted an
.honor rolf bearing the names of
those street cleaners and refuse collec-
tors against whom no complaints had
been registered during the previous
month. The honor men were allowed
each a day of duty at the city's ex-
pense during the following month. The
..honor rolf is now an established In
stituti6n. and last month ove 40 per
cent OF the employees OF the depart
'inent were listed.

News that 1000 Huerta troops
went over to the rebels at Queretaro
