COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
TRY TO GET ACTION ON
Old DRAINAGE PROJECT

Discussion of the imperative need
for drainage in this section and the
possibility of securing the establish
ment of a syrup mill here that would
produce uniform quality of syrup
occupied the attention of the Com
mercial Club at its last meeting.
The subject of drainage was ear
nestly discussed and the crying need
for 1t pointed out by several present,
some of whom had suffered heavy
losses IS result of extraordinary
heavy rains. Members of the club
realize that there arc some minor
obstacles to be overcome before
drainage can be had but determined
that if it is within the power of the
club to reconcile whatever slight diff
ferences of opinion that may exist
and bring about the cooperation ne
cessary to secure drainage it would
make every effort 70 bring about this
end. A committee of three, compos-
ed of Secretary Price, Capt. Jack Nc
Cam and f. r. Blount was appoint
ed to see those most interested,
whose attitude will determine whetE-
er or not this vital improvement will
be made, for the purpose of bringing
about a meeting and securing tLeir
cooperative action II possible.
The secretary was instructed to
write for Information concerning a
cooperative plan fer the establish
ment of syrup mills, the plar, In
brief, being: A syndicate will fur
nich half the capital necessary t" es-
tablish syrup mill to produce a
standardized quality of syrup in any
community whose people will furnish
the remainder of the capital neces-
sary ard pledge themselves to plant
at least 100 acres of ca. g.
1t is believed that the establish
ment of such a mill would be Of
great benefit not only to individuals
but to the community as whole,
providing another stabilized industry.

A.-The commission has the Samo
power as were possessed by the mayor
and city council 1t superseded. The
mayor votes but has no veto. Every
ordinance requires three votes to Sc
cure its adoption.
Q.-Is the initiative, referendum
ana recall part of The plan?
Alt is in a number OF cities.
Q.-Why is the present. system of
municipal government in Punta Cor
da a bad one?
A.-Bccause it is cumbersome in
its ar 'angement and division Of &c
sp visibility. No irdividual. no pa:-
ticular body, no committee, car be
held strickly to account for anything
that gees wrong. The landing of
Punta Gorda government ought to be
a b.. mess affair: under the present
system, it is mixture of personal
ism, factionalism end politics and it
is only occasionally that things can
be done as they ought to be done.
Q.-How does the commission
plan tend to secure a higher stand
ard of public officials?
A.-Men, selected by the elimina-
ton method of votirg, the fittost in
cvitably surviving in the process, not
one candidate arroyed against an
ether in bitter factiooal fight, but all
candidates before the people for their
preferential expressions and five men
receiving the highest veto, in C1her
WORDS, the five who are the choice of
the greatest number of citizons,
placed in charge rf the city's affairs
with authority to employ a city man
ager, who would be directly responsi-
bio to the commission only, to attend
20 dGtail3 Of the city government and
conduct 1t ir an efficient, economical
and impartial manner, just as he
would do If employed to conduct q
private business.
Q.-What would the cammiccios
manager form of government mean
for Punta Gorda?
Alt would meai. wiping out of
peanut politics, direct responsibility
upoL the official, the abe lition of the
complex and entangled committee
process of transacting the business of
tho council, the avoidance of the cum
bersome plan of the two branches and
many departments of government
shifting responsibility from one to
the o.her. business-like administration
of the public affairs, fewer elections
less factionalism, tie extinction of
the CRATER proper and efficient police

citize:- wal is and that the bad citizen
does net wait.

CATECHISM OF THE
COMMISSION PLAN

, Q-What is the commission plan
or city government?
At is n plan whereby the usual
form of government by mayor, city
council and other bodies is suppressed
ed by government by commission,
usually of five men.
Q-What are the powers of ;his
commission?
At has all tie legislative and
executive powers possessed by tne
mayor, the city council and the vari-
Gus heads of departments of the pres
ent government of Punta Gorda
Q.-How did it originate?
A.-Whcn Galveston was destroyed
by the great food Of 1900 ,hc exiting
system was so inc''CQuate tEat the
Texas legislature suspended the local
government and replaced it with a
commission of five men. This en-
mission worked such wonders in Gal
vuston that the neighboring city of
Houston petitioled for a similar gov
ernment and got it. Thence it spread
throughout Texas and the wrole
country, until over two hundred cities
have adopted it.
Q.-What has bee the results?
A 1t has been uniformly success
ful wherever adopted. Taxes hGvo
been reduced, deficits have been wip-
Cd out, big public improvements eff
focted and graft and grafters Danish
cd.
. Q.-Why has /. been so successful?
A.-Because it is simple and busl-
ncGs-iike. and because it takes the
government powers and puts ttcm
in che broad daylight. Under the
commission system, in a word. re-
sponsibility is definitely located and
public opinion has a chance to make
self felt.
Q.--What are TIC main features of
the system?
A Take Des Moines as a speci-
men. There a mayor ard four ctm-
miss!cners are elected, and they to-
gether form the commission. The
government is divided into fvo de-
partments:
Public Affairs:
Accounts and Finance;
Public Safety;
Streets and Public Imp ovemtnts; /;
Parks and Public Property.
The mayor has charge of the first
department. Eac'i of the other de-
partments is in Charge of che of the
other commissioners. He has ample
power and is responsible for the work
of that department. He cannot
evade the responsibility.
' Q.-What about legislative pow
ers?
