coMMENDS CITY MANAGER PLAN
R. s. Childs Reviews Its Development
 in Three Years

In an article in the National Nun icipaI Review, Richard $. Childs, the chairman of the National Municipal Leagues committee on the commis = sion plan of government for cities, replies to the question, How is the commission manager plan getting on !? in the words, ''Very nicely, thank you"
 The idea began to be put in effect less than three years ago. Today nineteen cities have city managers, and others are to have them. Dayton is the largest and pays it's manager the largest salary, S12.500. Twelve of the cities have less than twelve thousand population. The pOpula tions vary from 1924 to 116.577

APACHE-NAVAJO FLOOD
 COMMISSION ORGANIZES

The state commission designated by the legislature to administer the funds for the relief of Apache and Navapo county flood sufferers met yesterday afternoon at the statehouse, elected of ficers. and talked over plans for dis trihuting the relief appropriations.
 The commission consists of the members of the board of control, and the state engineer. and as it turned out there were just enough offices to go around. Governor Hunt was elected chairman; State Engineer Cobb. en- Sineer; Auditor Callaghan. treasurer and Secretary Charles R. Osborn of the board of control. secretary of the com mission. It was decided to advertise asking claimants for relief other than those who had already assigned their claims to present same. and to ask the attorney general to draw up certifi- cates for the claims

agement have proved groundless. and a surprising thing is that almost all of the managers chosen have been from out of town-obtained by ad- vertising and scrutinizing records, just as a good business firm might do. It is reported that the plan seems to have increased service without correspondingly increased ex- pense." Often the manager, having control of all departments of city work, can utilize one department to help another, as in Sumter, where the manager refused to buy shoYels for street work when the water de- partment had plenty of idle shovels
 Again, Highly typical of the new spirit is the failure to fill the office of the director of public safety at Dayton and Springfield. It was a charter position, but not altogether necessary inasmuch as the fire and police departments are already well unified and require little overhead ordination.

 be far-reaching. Tie five days nf
 the conference were crowded with
 t!:e consideration of every phase of
 the highway prob cri. ard the trans cript of proceedings when published
 will be the most complete book on the subject that has yet appeared"
 Federal aid for state road work
 was endorsed, and plans for a wig orous campaign initiated at the meeting of the American Highway Officials association, held just before
 the opening of the road congress. A bill providing for a federal appropri- ation of s25.00O,000 annually was pre- pared and will have the support of all the state highway departments at the next session of congress.
 Arizona would profit as much if not more than any other state by the passage of such a bill" de- clared Mir. Cobb yesterday. The appOrtionment of the fund to the states is to be based on three fac tors, on road mileage, population and area. While we rank low in popu- lation and road mileage, measured by star and rural routes, we rank comparatively high in area. It is d condition of the appropriation that each state furnish an equal amount for road work equal to that received from the federal government.
 Arizona's rating based on popu- lation is but twenty-two hundredths of one per cent. and our rating in mileage is the same. In area, how ever. Arizona is ahead of most states with a rank of 3S3 per cent | so that the total amount of the fed | eral fund available for road work in | this state would be about $3S5, 900 | per year.
