GEO. H. FIELDS
F ormer Americas Citi-

BAINBRIDE, Nov. 2.-One of the
FIVE out of 10000 Masons in Geor-
gia to be distinctly honored when the
medal for distinguished service was
awarded by the Grand Lodge of
Georgia in. session in Macon last
week was George H. Fields. promi-
nent citizen of cambridge, and FOR
merly of Americas.
A committee, consisting of the
present grand officers and the past
grand masters were assigned the
duty of choosing from all the sixty
odd thousand Masons in Georgia five
who were most prominent in serv-
ice for the purpose of awarding them
medals of service
Mr. Fields career in Masonry is
one of interest as we'll as continued
activity. At the ago of 81, while still
in his home town of Abingdon. Va,
in 1884, he became Master Mason,
and was shortly afterwards elected

usually goes to smaller city and
picks a man of experience in city
management. Thus there has grown
up new professionally Managers
who have gained experience and
training and have served one city
after another.
For instance, Charles E. Ashburn-
err, 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 of Norfolk, the rival
of Akron as the largest manager
municipality, where he gets $4,000
the salary of a cabinet officer, for
managing that seaport city's affairs.
City Manager government, or
Commission-Manager, government,
as it has come to be known, differs
from, the old form in that it vests
authority and responsibility in a sim
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
ment, (the plan devised to overcome
some of the shortcomings of the May
or and Council system and which was
first inaugurated in Galveston after
great flood there) by concentrating
administrative duties in single APP
pointive office instead of distribut-
ing the duties among the members Of
a commission.
Commission-M Manager government
has thus become the latest model of
Democratic government a govern
ment on which any citizen can serve
without technical qualifications -
small board sensitive to the will
of the people, because it is directly
elected and small enough to be held
individually responsible to the board
for the conduct of all the city's af-
fairs.

Only Expected Number

Reported

HAVANA. Nov. 2.-The work Of
canvassing the vote of Yesterdays
presidential election moved slowly
last night and it seems probable the
result of the presidential election in
the United States today may be
known here before the Cubans learn
the name of their next president.
Returns from Ill of the 1902 pre-
clncts in Cuba at midnight showed
Dr. layas. coalition candidate, lead
ing General Gomez, Liberal, by 682
votes.
There was a feeling of intense re-
lief when DISPATCHES from all parts
of the island indicated that election
dav .sd passed without serious out
breaks. The number of persons kill
ed around the polling places was no
greater than had been expected.

Moving to cambridge in 1904,
Mr.. Fields did not let his love for

CITY MANAGER
SOUTHERN IDEA
Plan Of Government
Originated At Staun-
ton, Va.
BY FREDERICK Nj. KERRY,
Staff Correspondent Newspaper En-
terprise Association.

NEW YORK, Nov. lit begins
to look as if American cities, from
the smallest to the largest, are to
change their whole form OF city gov
eminent. The Mayor -and-Counci
plan, with its politics" often cor
ruption and contract scandals, and
usually inefficiency and general TAIL
ure, is slowly but surely being re-
placed by new form of government
that has made startling headwav
since it was first introduced in the
little southern town of Staunton
Virginia, in January, 1908.
The new scheme is the "City Man
ager" plan.
More than three million one hun
dred thousand American citizens are
today living in towns and cities tina
have adopted the plan. Until 81.
years ago there were but dozen
small towns in the whole country
that had ventured into the new field
by authorizing their councils to ap-
point the chief administrative officer
instead of trusting the ballot box
".
Today there are one hundred and
eighty municipalities in the United
States operating under, or pledged
to. some type of the manager plan.
Of these, ia have created the posi-
ton of manager by charter, charter
amendment or adoption of opitona
state laws by popular referendum.
Nine more have secured modified
manager plans by similar means,
while the remaining 81 have officers
called managers whose positions and
duties are established by local or
dinances only.
Not One Goes Back.
To date, no city which has adopt
ed city manager government by vote
of it's citizens has reverted to its
former plan of government.
Here is the record of growth of the
manager plan giving the number of
cities adopting the plan each year:
1908, city; 1912, 2 cities; 1918, 81
cities; 1914, 20 cities; 1915, 81 cit
les; 1916, 20 cities; 1917, Is cities;
1918, 80 cities; 1919, 80 cities; 1920,
flour months), 20 cities; total of
100 cities adopting the plan in nine
years.
Fifteen of these cities have over
$4,000 population; 20 of them have
between 10000 and $4,000; 80 of
them between 10000 and 100000
81 of them between 5000 and TO-
900, and So of them have under ST.
600 poulation
Akron. Ohio and Norfolk, Virginia
are the two largest cities so far to
adopt the plan. Cleveland, Ohio

fifth in size in the plan up for con-
liberation.
The essence of the city manager
plan is the assumption that city
like any other big business organiza-
ton, needs a competent execuC.
head, who is familiar with business
affairs and competent technically to
handle them, to supervise its work.
The city manager plan does away
with the periodical election of may
or who is the choice Of the political
party. 1t assumes that there is no
Democratic" or Republican" meth
cd Of sweeping the streets, collecting
the garbage. and performing other
engineering functions, but rather
that such duties are simply problems
in municipal engineering.
Born in South.
The idea originated in the South.
The little town of Staunton, Vir-
ginia, inaugurated the plan of en-
ploylng a city administrator by put
ting into effect an ordinance Great
ing the position of general man
ager,,' January, 1908. Since then
the growth of the idea has been
phenomenal.
The City Manager plan includes
the abolition of the old City Coun-
ell scheme, and the election instead
of small board-dependent some
what upon the size of the city-~of
five or seven is the standard number
selected not by wards, but at large.
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
tional representation simply means
that if five men are to be elected,
one-ffth of the total vote of the city
is sufficient to elect one man. Instead
of half the people in each ward Chose
who vote for the unsuccessful can
didate) being unrepresented in the
city legislature, every voter has a
chance to make his vote count. In
stead of man being elected by a
plurality in 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
Employ a Manager.
This commission or council, so
gives but part of its time to
the city affairs. It's members re-
ceive little or no pay. They mere
ly compose of policy determining
body of the city, and they employ
the City Manager, Just as any
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
has no vote, in the council.
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 manager

Eleven Chinese Shot At

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. ELEVEN
Chinese members of The British ship
Elm Leaf were wounded today when
guards resorted to pistol fire to quell
a mutiny aboard the vessel. The riot
was precipitated when officers of the
ship announced that IN compliance
with federal regu' ators, no shore
leave would b gsesrii
