HAMPTON MAY GET
A CITY MANAGER
PLAN ARE ON FOOT THERE NOW
TO TRY OUT PLAN USED
IN OTHER TOWNS.

Iowa Falls, Oct 19.-Many residents
of Hampton are now considering the
plan of employing city manager to
take care of the business affairs of, the
town in the systematic manner now
used in many towns of similar size in
this part Of Iowa. Many interested in
civic problems are strongly in favor
Of the proposed plan and are doing
all in their power to bring the change
about.
Figures that have been compiled
by Hampton people lead many OF
them to believe that they may secure
a big saving in their taxes when they
have the commission form of govern
ment, with live city manager at
the helm. Many illustrations are
present and are used by the advo-
Gates of the proposition in Hampton.
1t has been proved, it is urged, in
towns the size of Iowa Falls, Webster
City and many others that have re-
Gently taken up the city manager
proposition that an actual saving Is
effected within short time.
