Advantages Of the City Manager Plan.

Inc Chleftaln Is IN receipt OF the following con-
muneation
Editor The Pueblo Chieftain:
As start for the discussion of the proposed change
in the Pueblo charter, will you please tell what
the advantages of the City Manager planf What
lis there for thinking that the form of city
ment will give any better results than the old one?
AN oPEN-MINDED VOTER
Theoretically the City Manager plan is the ideal form
of government With the right kind of charter and
the right kind of it would give the people of
Pueblo better government than they have at the pres
ent time and it might reduce the cost of that govern
ment considerably
The City Manager plan is based upon the system
used running the affairs of business companies There
lis City Council which is similar to the Board Of
Directors of the corporation and the City Council elects
ia manager. who the city very much the company
manager elected by the directors the affairs of the
company.
No one would think of permitting the stockholders
of company to elect three and then letting
those three divide the authority. and the
lis nnder the commission form. The chief weakness
of the commission plan is that while it is very much
better than the old mayor and alderman plan it is still
IA political government and not a business government
If the affairs of any corporation successful,
they upon business lines, and they by
an expert in that particular line of business whatever
1T is.
If the affairs Of any city to be with the great
lest possible Of efficiency and of economy, they
must be by who is expert in that kind of
business And he must have not only the ability to
lzt L.. 81, ho,o .l,
authority the business of the city without poti
cal interference.
City Manager plan, and this is the argument that has
induced many American cities try that plan with good
results when the city charter makes business and
not politics the controlling factor in city government
and when the city is who has the ability
the purpose and the opportunity to make his practices
correspond with the theory of the City Manager plan
