Detroit has the opportunity 10 take
the lead in governmental efficiency
among cities Of It's size by adopting
the commission-manager form next
year." says Gaylord c. Cummin, Of
Grand Rapids, shortly after his cleo
ton to the presidency Of the National
Managers Association.

tions. Either can block the desires Of
the other.
"Under the city-manager plan the

he fails to discharge his duties prop

Taxpayers like the commission
manager form of government because
it gives them more service for their
money. The departments that touch
the lives of the average citizen closest
get more attention and more money
than they did under the former sys-
TEN.
Dayton can show what q human
ity-saving form Of government the
commission plan provides. The Rev.
D. Frank Garland is head Of the Day
ton Welfare Department. He advo-
Gates what he calls 'humanized gov
enment.' He describes countless
cases before our convention sessions
here in Detroit in which his depart
ment has provided justice for the
poor and oppressed through depart
ments and bureaus rarely heard Of
formerly.
"The free legal aid department,
municipal flower garden, municipal
country club, and similar provisions
for the protection and enjoyment Of
the people, have done much to make
the people of Dayton hearty in their
support Of the present system Of gov
ernment. Today, for less than s., any
one in Dayton can have the advant-
age of membership in q country club

Detroit has already insured her
self a greatly improved government

work should be turned over to 4 may
