Woodruff URGES
CITY HOME rule
Classification Of Municipalities
According to Population
Sought by Revisionists
ASK STATE CONTROL BODY

Harrisburg. April 7.--Home rule for
municipalities was advocated today by
Clinton Rogers Woodruff. civil service
commissioner In Philadelphia, at the
public hearing before the commission on
constitutional amendment and revision.
Commissioner Woodruff urged classi :
fication Of municipalities according to
population and permission for cities to
accept the form Of government they
wish through a vote of the electors. Un.
der his plan the voters of a city could
adopt commission form OF government
or vote to install city manager.
Similar proposals submitted to the
commissions at its sessions were re-
jected.
THE trouble in this country said
Mr.. Woodruff in explaining his plan,
''is that we have not given the people
sufficient interest in local government
to develop the instinct for self. govern
ment.'
Commissioner Woodruff centered more
OF his argument on government of third.
class cities. He said the Clark act,
under which these cities now operate,
was a great help. but adoption Of his
proposal would give greater advantages.
A statewide agency to have the same
JuiisuiCllOn over lluUIlDHl UOUlPS buu
finance as the Public Service Commits
sion had over public utilities was sug-
gested by Robert J. Patterson, of the
Philadelphia Bureau of Municipal Re-
search.
Mr.. Patterson and Frederick p.
Gutenberg, director of the bureau, spoke
at the public hearing before the com
mission on the proposed state budget
and municipal finance.
He declared that one of the greatest
difficulties facing cities was the ques-
ton Of borrowing. Many complica-
tions, he said, have arisen in the coun-
try over the question of sinking fund
and borrowing capacity because of the
technicalities surrounding them.
Mr.. Patterson asked the commission
to create n special committee to study
thoroughly 'thc much involved qucs-
ton" of municipal finance.
