APPROVE
COMMISSION FORM
Nearly $50 Municipalities in U.
S. Find New System of Gov
ernment Successful

1AtAtACAAb
About $50 cities in the United
States have adopted the commits
sion form of government and al
most UNANIMOUSLY have found it
more successful than the old
mayor and council form.
1t acts instead Of celebrates.
1t investigates instead of re-
fers.
1t is always in session.
1t represents the people, not
a predominating party or faction.
Capable men, with the liberty
given them are glad to serve on
the commission.
Pull for ward Improvements,
to the neglect of the city as a
whole, is eliminated.
This information about the
commission governed cities was
obtained by the municipal refer
ence bureau Of the University Of
Missouri at Columbia. Letters
were sent to each city that has
adopted the commission plan ask
ing Of the success of the new
system. About 300 replies have
been received. Efficiency, the
elimination Of petty politics and
a practical business management
of the city are the advantages
most often reported. In some
places there is opposition, espec.
tally where the system is YET
new, but the replies show that
in 95 percent of the cities it is
favored. Many officials reply
that their citizens would have
no other plan. There is more
service, activity and city prog.
ress where the comision rule il
in use, according to the letters
The replies indicate that the
commission form gives nearer
100 cents for service of each dol
lar spent by the city than does
the council and mayor plan. Pet
ty political pulls and log-rollini
for ward advantages are com
pletely eliminated.
