IT WORKS ELsEWHERE-WHY NOT
3 "a HERK7a $40 ffsois

a perfectly good reason why the city-man-
ager plan should work successfully IN Honolulu
is that it has been notably successful in cities
of the United States whose municipal problems
are not greatly different from those Of Homo
4plll 49,
Agood deal of the talk about Honolulu being
. different. from any mainland eityl' IS hunk.
plain bunk. You will notice that the men who
. use this sort of an argument generally know
nothing by personal experience of municipal
government elsewhere. Either that or they
are men with some personal political end to-
serve, and hunt for any kind of an argument
that will make a noise to the voters. 6
The things this city has to do in the way of
physical improvement and development are
the things cities all over the mainland have
done and are doing. Honolalu's population,
while different in racial elements, is little diff.
ferent in education, in perceptiveness and re-
sceptiyeaess, in willingness to- do the right
thing, from scores of cities on the mainland
where progressive charters have worked sue
cessfully There are mainland municipalities
behind Honolulu in the intelligence Of the
average voter which have found their financial
salvation in businesslike administration made
possible by a businesslike charter.
The great yalne of the city manager plan is
that it helps to reduce the city's e overhead =
expenses One of the letters that came to the
Star-Bulletin as a result of its recent questions
directed to mainland executives is from the
city manager of Manistee, Michigan, Mr.
Charles =. Ruger. Here is part of that letter:
In my Judgment the city manager plan is the
most ideal plan ever adopted for the operation OF
affairs OF cities. have hesftancy In saying that
our people sufficiently satished and Under no
CIRCUMSTANCES would they 60 back 20 the Did poti-
cal-ruied methods of the past We have perfect or
gahzadon in all departments receive full value for
every dollar expended for material and labor Each
department head has fun control Of the department
and to him alone We look for results. With com
mfssioners selected from your successful business
- men and with competent manager of good execu-
tive ability cannot make any mistake in adopt
ing this plan. There fully so cities operat-
ing under the city manager plan. While have not
been in touch with all Of them those that have
been have materially reduced overhead expenses
: 1t is noticeable that some of the men most
outspoken against the city manager plan pri-
vately admit that it is the bestt plan of city
government Vet tried, but say that cit can't
be put; into operation n0w-f1onolulu isn't
ready for it." When in the name of common
sense will Honolulu be ready: Must it be after

that Honolulu has stood by Capt Matsona The
fact that his company will put a million and
