Mr.. Emery would have the superinten-
dent appointed by the board. to take
the office out of politics as far as
possible.
Mr.. Stern stated that he believed
that the present arrangement could be
continued and the results could be
obtained by having the man who was
elected president, elected also to act
as city superintendent with a fixed
salary of $4,000 or $500 year the
other commissioners to serve gratis OF
for a nominal fee. and act merely as
an advisory board to the president.

AS the subject before us for discus

from so many different angles, and as
our time is limited, have boiled the
subject down to just few points.

lines.

four commissioners and president, all
to be elected at large, the president
to be the chief executive of the city,
etc, the five commissioners to have
jurisdiction over the affairs of the
city. one commissioner to be elected
each year for three years, two COM
miSsionerS to be elected the fourth
year. This would always leave a ma
jority of the OLE commissioners on the
board. At their first meeting in May.
or as soon after as possible, beginning
on the odd year, they shall elect by
a majority vote a general superin-
tendent Of the city, a city treasurer,
a city auditor, a city attorney and one

employe of the city had served for a
term of one year or more, he could not
be discharged by the general superin-
tendent unless he so recommended to
the board and the board endorsed the
recommendation by a four -fifths vote,

the city Of Fargo a government that
will be beyond politics, will put the
employees on a civil service basis, and
will bring about a condition that will
stop the little leaks and cause a saw
ing in our budget that will be a direct
benefit to the tax payers. Adopting the
commission form of government was
a step in the right direction, but aft
er general survey and careful
study of several years and experience
of four years, l am convinced. beyond
all question of doubt that the amend
ing Of our charter along the lines
suggested will be greater step in the
right direction for the benefit of all
the people than the former step.

that will practically put all Fargo en-
ployes on a civil service basis, that
will prevent the overlapping Of jurls-
diction in the different departments
and that will concentrate the RESPONSE
bility of government in one head.
2 Il want it distinctly understood,
said Mr.. Emery, that I am not criti-
cising the present city commission.
The commissioners nave worked to-
Ecther harmoniously and have CO.
operated Loyalty, but l see breakers
ahead. Under. the present system the
head Of each department is czar. and
there is bound to come a time when
some commissioners will take ad-
vantage of the power they will find
they have and act in a czarlike man
ner. and will not work in sympathy
and accord with the rest Of the COM
mission. Now is the time to change
that now when we have the oppor-
tunity."
There was a lively and interesting
discussion following Mr.. Emery's ad-
dress. Mr.. Stern who was present
corroborated what Mr.. Emery said
about the need for one man to have
charge of the technical details of the
city government. He differed with Mr

his own interests to occupy his mind.
Let us for few moments take
glance at our charter. 1t provides that
VIC shall have a board of five commits
soners; one to be known as the presi-
dent. commonly known as mayor who
shall be the chief executive of the city,
see to the enforcement of laws, be
chairman of all the meetings. sign all
legal documents and shall have the
power to call upon private citizens to
act. as policemen in case Of riot or
outbreak; shall have the right to vote
in all meetings, but shall not have the
right Of veto.
The four commissioners shall be
elected at large and at their first
meeting they shall select from their
own body the different commissioners
! to have charge of the different depart
ments. For example, commissioner OF
streets, commissioner of finance, COM
| missioner Of water works and COM
missioner of police.
| Each commissioner shall have juris-
diction over his department. but {
| warrant cannot be issued unless it is
approved by q majority of the board
1t will be readily seen that you have
established four independent and sepa
rate departments and the matter o
approving the bills becomes only per
functory on the part Of the( board
Outside of the question of where con.

From time immemorial. one df thu
questions before the old form of gov
ernment was the purchasing of goods
but the change from the cid fo1m tt
the new form did not in any wa!

is that the commission form of gov

a. myth. The only difference between
the old form and the new form in fix
ing responsibility is that in the cit!
of Fargo we have reduced the nuhbel
from fifteen to flve so that there are
fewer men upon whose shoulders the
responsibility rests. In purchasing
goods, outside Of contracts. the cfhrte
is silent. Ways and means are pro
vided for the payment after bills ar
contracted, but it is left to the dis
cretion Of the board for the creating
Of bills, and the result is that the em
ployes Of the city are without autbori
ty to purchase goods when a comnis
sioner is not in the city hall. ufles
they have blanket authority to lur

unless the same were accompanied
by a voucher duly signed by the SUI
