Topic OF General Interest.
The topic OF discussion on the
streets, in the Offices and at the City
Hall yesterday was the reported ac-
ton of the Civic Association direc-
tors.
Many were outspoker in their ap-
prevail Of the plan outlined while
others condemned "one-man" rule.
Not in years has there been more gem
eral or more generally intelligent con-
sideration given the question OF muni-
cipal government, Richmond seems
ripe for a change--a change ensuring
an economical and businesslike aa-
ministration of city affairs. but there
is strong sentiment that every move
should be carefully considered.
As to Onicial Board.
Some unfavorable comment van
heard of the proposed makeup OF the
efficiency board" as possibly tendins
to drag the citys judiciary into poll
teal matters. This, however, was
based on the idea. which has proved
erroneous, That the efficiency board
was to be made up Of the Law and
Equity Chancery and City Circuit
Courts. the Superintendent Of Schools
and the president OF the Virginia Me-
chanics' Institute.
The commission composed of these
gentlemen merely names the efficiency
board. The commission suggested la
recommended because 1t removed
from politics and local political in
fluence to a very marked extent.
The changes sought in the city char
ter require action by the Legislature
and must be voted on by the peo-
pie.
