FiUe Commissioners More Democratic Than
 Three, Citizens Think
This Is Opinion of Marvin Bonner-Can Be Bet ter Informed As to Needs of Citizens-Thach Would Have City Manager With Board of Five Advisors

our city will be greatly benefited. No one ever heard of any business. corpora tion or office which was successfully run that did not have an executive head. A notable example is the largest steel and iron company in the world today. I am speaking of the United States Steel cor poration. Judge Gary is the head of this institution and his word is law. In the event. of success he is responsible di- rectly; in the event of failure. he is like wise responsible. believe the people are in favor of the city manager proposition and If given the opportunity will vote that way"
 Marvin Bonner, clerk of the municipal court. T have watched with interest the city of Birmingham under the va rious governments that have been intro- duced in past years. l am familiar with the old aldermanic rule with mayor in the saddle. I have watched with interest the commission form of government and have noted all of it's numerous new de- partures. I am of the opinion five com missioners will be more democratic and will be better representation of the peo- pie Five men can be better informed a s to the needs of any community than three. Regardless of the good things com- mission government might have done. one cannot help but note some of the other results If seems absurd that such q tnr1VlnS clty aS we i've III mas to taN the people 70 cents sper month for the removal of garbage. I have never heard of such a thing in any other city We are taxed enough as 1t Is. Some sec tions of the city have been forced to hire policemen to guard their homes, the present force being inadequate Lights have been cut out, fire plugs abolished in some districts and we are on the verge of bankruptcy. Let five men take the reins of government and see if they can't get this town out of the hole and run 1t on a business basis. am in favor of five commissioners and believe the majority of citizens are"
 P. H. Linnehan: q favor the three- commissioner plan rather than the five, for concentration Is the essence of a commission form of government Even with three commissioners there has been in the past grave differences that have had a tendency to work against the best interests Of the city and I am inclined to the belief that five would make such conditions more prevalent. I have noth- ing against the three gentlemen who com pose the present board, but at times they have differed on questions of great ma terial interest to the citizens. which, in my op1.ion, worked to their disadvantage. I am for letting the board of city com missioners remain at three.'

ANOTHER TRACK ID THE FAIRGROUNDS Necessary to Take Care of Increased Number of
 Cars Coming

The Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company Is constructing an other track into the grounds of the Alabama State Fair. This was made necessary to take care of the increased number of cars which will bring cat tie. horses and hogs to the fair this year. which is to be held October ? to 16. Secretary Fowlkes stated Fri day that the chief problem which was now confronting the officials of the fair association was how to make room for the large number of exhibits which have reserved space.
 Some additional structures will probably be put up and tents will be used to provide space for some of the animals. MT. Fowlkes reports that the number of exhibits from Alabama will be considerably greater than at any previous fair and on account of the success which attended the visits of the fair association officers to the Tennessee and Kentucky state fairs where they went to get exhibits from outside the state, all the barns will be filled to overflowing.

With the passage by the legislature of the commissioner bill the interest ill the matter has been revived in Birming- ham and it is interesting to note what citizens think of the measure
 Varied expressions were heard on the matter yesterday. The majority Of citi- zens seemed to think that five commis- soners would be more representative of the whole people than three. Others were inclined to favor city manager with an advisory board of five, while still others would retain the present system.
 Representative expressions heard yes- terday follow:
 R. c. Thach. the we'll known lawyer:
 "1 am of the opinion that a city man. ager is the thing for Birmingham. There are a number of points in favor of this proposition that cannot be argued for any other plan than has been proposed. Let the voters elect five men to act in an advisory capacity to the city manager and let the five men who have been elected hire the manager. It should be brought to bear upon these men selected by the people that the city manager is to be a business man of sterling character and one who has never dabbled in politics and has no intention of doing so. It should be understood that he has entire charge of every department pertaining to the government of the city and solely re- sponsble for all mistakes or improve ments. In this way it will be impossible for him to play politics in any way and he alone would be held accountable to the public and to the board appointing him.
 ''The city should be run on the same basis as a bank. The board of directors appoints it's president and he is given entire say in the affairs of the institution, the directors themselves merely acting in an advisory capacity. There can be no in any business where there is not a duly authorized head of the firm. The centralization of the responsibility upon the shoulders of one individual means that he must make good or get out. The man who is appointed city man. ager should make the art of running a city a concentrated study and as such give all his activities in that direction to the city he is managing. It is time for a real head to be given Che reins of gov ernment in Birmingham and if this is done 1t may be confidently expected that

AN UNDEsERVED FAILURE

W. F. Rathbun and wife have been

to put into it, improved the place,
did considerable fencing and farming,
stayed till practically everybody else
had quit, nailed up their belongings
in the buildings and went to Boise
lin the winter of 1913, having spent
all their money and gone $500 in
debt. He worked on a salary in
Boise till the debts we're paid, and
in the meantime his buildings we're
Iraided and furniture and implements
taken. He conferred with the state
officials from time to time to see II
