who are opposing incorporation under

that the voters have no voice III the
granting of franchises.

anu again Oy sInes comparatively close
vote a year ago when the matter was
Submitted for the first time since the
adoption of the present form.
Whether, under the commission
form, the same progress can be made
with no greater expenditure of means
or whether, in the very nature o1
things, the commission form is more
expensive without corresponding
benefits, is a matter concerning which
there is room for an honest difference
of opiaion.
The TWO Views.
Those opposing the commission
form, for the most part, are doing SO
it is believed, upon economica
grounds. TheY believe that the sys;
tenn. with it's somewhat divided au
Ethority, is not best adapted to meet
the needs of a growing city with thai
degree of efficiency that would ensue
under the aldermanic form, assuming
that, in each case, Representative mer
are chosen to occupy the chief places
in the city government. Az Az
On the other hand, those cham
|pioning the commission form hold il
to be far superior, both in the mat
ter of efficiency and economy, in the
long run, to the aldermanic form
They contend that the extra salaries
paid to the commissioners over those
paid to the aldermen is more than
offset by the results obtained.
Laws Practically the Same.
1t shoIla be- borne in mind that
whether tlsSs s!1sss, votes to organize un
der the general laws or concludes tt
continue under the commission form
the laws under which the city is gov
.erned are almost the same. Only a
few cases is there sufficient differ
ence to be worthy of note.
One difference, as an illustration
relates to the. granting of franchises
Under the commission form, all fran
chisss must be submitted to vote
OF the people. Under the aldermanic
form the city council and the mayor
have the right to adopt a franchise
subject to the referendum-tllat is
any proposed franchise, after its
adoption by the city council, must be
published in the official newspaper oil
the city, and does not become effective
until the lapse of twenty days ate
its passage. In the meantime, IL five
per cent of the electors OF the cit,
petition tn have it submitted TO !;
vote of the people, special election
must be ordered for the purpose.
Another distinguishing difference
relates to elections. The commits
|sioners are chosen for five years, on,
retiring each year, whereas the cit,
council is chosen for two years ane
the mayor for one year, one member
+ I, a 3

This brings an election every yea

IIf Watertown wishes to organize un
