Coal Shortage
Being Wiped Out

WASHINGTON, Nov. AUST a
year ago yesterday, bituminous Goa
miners throughout the country went
on strike, tying up production and
causing coal shortage.
Today. the coal shortage, accord
ng to official reports, is being wiped
out by record production and car
movements.
For the week ended October 23,
12,146,000 tons of soft coal were
produced, this being the third sue
cessive week that production ex-
ceeded the 100000 mark. Move
ments of coal is climbing toward
100000 cars a week.
With production continuing at
this rate and with consumption cur.
tailed by mild autumn weather, Of

should take further drops soon.

GEORGIA VALUES
UP 200 MILLIONS
Five Mill Levy To Bring
ST 900, 900 Added
Taxes

ATLANTA, Nov. Georgia s
increase in property values, subject
to taxation, shown by the total tax
digests of the state, is in round fig
. urges $20O,0OO.0OO. The tax levy
of five mills, which is the constitu-
tional limit, will raise money enough
on the increased tax digests to lust
about pay the state out of the hole
on present appropriations. Next wear
there will be an increase, already
provided for, of half a million in the
public school fund and about half a
million more in the pension fund, or
a total of a million dollars more al
ready appropriated for 1921 than
for 1920.
A great deal has been said about
the slow payment of taxes this year,
on account of depressed conditions,
and the possibility that the state
will find itself handicapped for mon
ey at the end of the year, but with
considerable book of unpaid taxes.
That may be attributable to the fact
that the interest on unpaid taxes
starting December Is, is only z per
cent, whereas the general rate of in
terest on borrowed money now is 81
per cent and up, which means it will
be cheaper for tax payers to oweI
taxes until about March, when they
would have executions enforced
against them, than to pay promptly.

He need not be local man at all
the council usually goes into the
field and hires the best man it can
find. 1t has been the experience
that big city needing a manager
usually goes to a smaller city and
picks man of experience in city
management Thus there has grown
up a new professionally Managers
who have gained experience and
training and have served one city
after another.
For instance, Charles E Ashburn-
er, who was the first city manager
in the United States, having started
with the little town of Staunton.
Virginia, in 1908, has been city man
ager of three cities since, and is now

City Manager government, or
Commissioner Manager, government,
as it has come to be known, differs
from the old form in that it vests
authority and responsibility in a sin
gle, small, proportionally-elected city
council or commission, and provides
a trained professional, controlled
city executive instead of an untrain-
ed amateur independent executive.
1t differs from commission govern

The City Manager plan includes

and usually by proportional repre-
sentation," to be the city's board of
directors.
This is on the same theory that a
big corporation has a board of direc-
tors to, supervise its affairs. Proper
tlonal representation simply means
that if five men are to be elected.
one-fifth of the total vote of the city
is sufficient to elect one man. Instead
of half the people in each ward (those
who vote for the unsuccessful can
didate) being unrepresented in the
city legislature, every voter has
chance to make his vote count. In
stead of a man being elected by
plurality in a geographical district,
he must get whole "quota" or one
fifth of the votes cast in the whole
city (if five commissioners are elect
ed or one-seventh (if seven are the
number.)
Employ a Manager.
This commission or council, so
elected, gives but part Of its time to
the city affairs. Its members re-
eeive little or no pay. They mere
ly compose of policy determining
body of the city, and they employ
the City Manager. Just as anvI
board of directors elect a general
manager to carry on the business of
the corporation. so this council picks
the City Manager to run the city's
business He is appointed for an IN
definite term, on the basis of merit,
and the commission or council may
remove him at any time. He APP
points and directs all the city sub
ordinate officials. He acts as an
advisor to the council, with the privi
lege of proposing measures, but ne
