City Manager of Grand Rapids

Fred H. Locke. city manager OF

an investigation will show that the
commission manager form of city gov

sion plan.
Many cities which have the COM
mission form are changing to the-com-
mission-n1anage plan. Sacramento
Cal. and Omaha, Neb., are hgurlng
on changing to the latter plan.

The cause of the blast is traced to

which exploded and blew up the fer

meath the men who were injured.
This is the only theory which Mr.
Maher is able to advance as satisfac-
tory explanation of the mysterious
blast.
So terrific was the force of the ex-
plosion that Timothy Rank was hurled

and houses in the neighborhood with

Mr.. Scott, who was standing direct
ly above the tank, was hurled against
the ceiling, which crumpled when the
walls went out. He was pinned under
debris. The extent of his injuries
were undetermined today, but it is be-
lieved that he suffered conclusion OF

uation Benjamin Perk, consulting ac-
countant for the city, was the only
witness at the session, which con-
cluded the commissions hearing in

figures supporting the claim of the
citys valuation of the properties and
declared that the company's net earn
ings for this year would be approx
mately $4,000, or 10 per cent of the
city's valuation.
Operating expenses for 1921, Mr..
Perk said, would be approxima tely
the same as for this year. adding that
falling market for supplies might
give the company larger earnings.
The companys figures included $685.

ed that item should not be accepted by
