The commission form of, munlS.pal government was again brought to the | attention of residents of this city by the address on that subject by George A. McAneny, of the New York | Times, before the local Chamber of Comm cree, this week.
 | For several years before the great questions of ethe war had arisen to | claim the attention of it's citizens the coinmission form of municipal gov- ernment had ben thoroughly dis l cussed by The Times, and in 1915 | a referendum vote was taken on the proposition
 On the filth day of November. 1915, 1 a commission composed of John s. ence D. s. Miller, Guy P. Milierf and Lucien T. Warner, were appointed to prepare a charter for the city which | would change the existing city char | ter so that five commissioners, one l of whom was the Mayor, should take | over the legislative and administra- | tive activities of the city and the | Board of Aldermen were abolished. | The charter provided for a primary
 and election every four years, each of l the comnliSsioners to receive a salary | of $500 a year and the pay oi ny | commissioner to cease if he was ab- sent from the city for more than
 i thirty days. l The commission took over all the
 l duties of the Board of Aldermen and
 | were required to meet at least once |.
 1 Five departments were created, the
 1 departments of Safety, Finance. En-
 | gineering, Property and Welfare.
 Il At the first meeting of the com

 merged in the Department of Vel
 fare. City Engineers office into the Department of Engineering, and the Department of Property took over all commissioners. il The Department of Finance took
 over the duties of the treasurer, tax collector and board of sinking fund commissioners.

With Existing Conditions
and Will Urge Efficiency.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s,-His exten.
sive travel of railroad throughout
the country on his campaigning tours
has given Governor Cox n first hand
realization of pressing requirements
of the transportation systems of the
nation. He observed certain palpable
shortcomings in the railroad situa-
ton that are harmful in their ef-
fects on the commerce of the country
and in his speech at Nashville on
October he declared that he in
tended to do all in his power to bring
about necessary betterments.
Governor Cox declared himself
emphatieally in disagreement With
Senator Harding's expressed sat
isfaction with the existing state of
transportation situation. He said
that his own observation convinced
him that the situation was in need
of attention, and he had been con-
firmed in this belief by his conver-
cations with representatives of the
former railroad administration, with
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, with managing heads
and traffic managers of railroads,
and with spokesman for the organiz-
ed railroad employees
In his own state, he said, he had
found on his return from his recent
western tour that ohio, a great pro-
ducer of coal, was facing poten-
tally serious coal shortage because OF
car shortage and inadequate trans
