AS TO CITY CHARTERS

The Intelligencer believes. and al
ways has believed, that any plan OF
government that does not distinctly
separate the legislative from the ex-
ecutiye bodies is fundamentally
wrong. and is certain TO prove costly
and unsatisfactory in the end.
This Is the essential weakness OF
the commission form Of government.
II is the essential weakness Of tho
city manager plan. on the surface
the city manager plan is an improve
ment over the commission form. IN
that II apparently separates the exec
utive from the legislative. As a mat.
ter Of fact. however. in the charter
prepared for this city. It subordinates
the executive to the legislative, en-
powers the legislative TO appoint the
executive. and therefore practically
places all executive. as well as legis.
lative. power in one body.
II Is amazing that the well inten.
toned citizens who make a business
u seeking 90 improve the Wheeling

that is practical and possible. The
greatest weakness Of our present city
charter is In the unwieldy council.
