since commission government began
(paving bonds excepted).
While this has been done, improve
ments have been made but without
bond issue. For comparison, the
council wanted a. $4,000 crematory
and authorized the issuance of bonds
to that amount, running twenty
years and bearing 4 " per cent inter
est to pay for this Improvement. The
crematory at maturity OF the bonds
pursued the same course with refer
ence to the Fillmore street bridge and
other similar improvements.
Commission Pays Cash.
The commission saw the need of a
new fire station in North Topeka and
it was built at a cost of $1,000 and
paid for in cash out of the general
levy. The same is true OF the deten-
ton hospital, which cost between
$1,000 and $4,000, the Fifteenth
street bridge, which cost the city ST.
500, and the new motor fire appara-
tus, previously mentioned, for which
we paid over $4,000. The commits
sion has paid for it's improvements
and this naturally shows up in our
expenditures. The old council issued
bonds for similar improvements and
the expense was not charged against
them.
The new levies for charitable insti-
tutions and for the pipe organ are
small, but in my judgment provide
for matters that should be taken care
of by the city. We must all admit
that expenses have increased and l
believe they will continue to increase
whether we are ruled by council or
commissions; just as it is costing ev-
cry corporation, firm and individual
more each year to operate their BUSH
ness. just SO will it affect the cost of
public business, and a change in the
form of city government will not
solve the problem.

all we'll and good. Over 300 cities in
the United States are under commits
sion government Many of them have
since adopting it, held elections re-
submitting the question to the people
but up to the present time, not one
single city that had tried commission
government, ever returned to the ole
