Administrative BOARD
TO % COMMITTEE WORK
Individual Members to Have Superu-
sion Over Specified Departments
OF Government.

An old rule of the administrative
board was revamped yesterday by that
body. and from now on the various
members of the board will constitute
separate committees for handling the
work Of the different departments.
Five years ago the board divided IT.
self into a series of committees. Each
member was delegated to take care
of the interests of certain departments.
The heads of the departments were
directed to confer with the member
OF the board who had direct supervi-
sion over that particular department
and the member of the board dealt
directly with the head of the depart
mont In individual cases.
Then the commissioners. in general
session, discussed the matters neces-
sery TO be settled upon and the policy
believed to be best for the conduct OF
the department In the specfffo case
which might. have been discussed or
reported by the commissioner.
In this way II was believed by the
board that the work of the city might
be better conserved, and the personal
contact between heads of departments
an6 commissioners rebound to the
best interests
In adopting a resolution yesterday,
the board revived it's old rule. and to-
day the members of the board will be
apportioned to look after the inter
ests Of the separate departments, and
all business TO be transacted by the
heads of departments will be done
through the commissioner who has
charge OF things in that department.
This plan partly covers the sugges-
lions In the report OF the charter
changes committee. which provide
that the heads of departments form
central body. for conference over
matters pertaining to the individual
