For the Good of
 The Community

VX7HEN the legislature reconvenes in w July it is probablethat one or more bills affecting the government of cities been some agitation looking to the crea- tion of the city manager plan for Birming ham, and probably other cities.
 In view of the probability of the enact ment of some such law it may not be inap- propriate to set forth the opinions of the people living under one or the other of the various forms of the manager system.
 These systems vary according to the states in which they are situated. In some of them the office of city manager is cre- ated by charter and the manager has what virtually amounts to absolute control; in others, the office is created by charter, but the manager is under control of the com mission, while, in still another class, the office is created by ordinance and the manager is appointed and controlled by the commission or council.
 In order that he might arrive at some definite conclusion as to the efficacy of the city-manager plan, Mayor David J. Me- Kenna of Englewood, N. J., mailed a ques- tionnaire to the Chambers of Commerce, the superintendents of education and one or two business men, picked at random, in twenty-five cities, ranging in population from 5000 to 60000.
 He compiled and digested the replies and presents them in brief synopsis form in The American City for May.
 Of the twenty-five cities investigated, IT have full manager charters; two have quasi-manager charters, and five have managers appointed under ordinance provisions, and one discarded the manager plan after an unsuccessful trial.
 The questions asked by Mayor McKenna were:
 Have operations under sthe manager plan been more efficient and more eco- nomical than under the former system?'
 "Have the general conditions improved under the manager system over what they were prior to employment of a manager?'
 Of AZ replies from 19 cities, 40 were in the affirmative, and two non-committal. Of ten replies from five cities, where the manager holds office under ordinance, eight were affirmative, one enon-conn1ittal and one negative.
 The 42 replies came from cities that have the charter-manager system.
 The success of the manager plan de pends upon the character and ability of the man selected for the job, as it does in any other business enterprise. A compe- tent manager, unhampered, can make a success of city management, and con- versely an incompetent manager, or a competent manager under the influence of political or other" interests" will fail
 One of the replies from Jackson, Mich, contains this comment:
 'The commission form of government is splendid in theory In practice it is no bet ter than the men who run it. Up to date we have been fortunate in having high grade men on the commission and as man. ager."
 And this from Elizabeth City, N. C.: Commission form with city manager worked very we'll for two years, but it is now in politics, and does not prove very fo o+o A.
