eff the coat fits you, put it on"

In spite of all the talking that Brat
tleboro has done during the past four or
five years on the subject of more efficient
town government the indications are
that St. Adams is going to be the first
municipality in the state to adopt the
city manager idea. Definite plans are
under way in the railroad metropolis for
simplifcation of its city charter with
view to putting the management of af-
fairs into the hands of n competent paid
executive. Men of standing and ability,
like ex-Gov. f.. c. Smith and Fuller c.
Smith, are taking an active interest in
the proposition, deyoting much of their
time to the important preliminary work
of explaining to the voters of the city
just what sort of n governmental plan
is contemplated, what is needed in the
way of legislation, etc. With such men
not only interested but actually working
on the project, there is every reason for
believing that it will materialiZe and
bring with it unnumbered blessings and
economies.
Meanwhile, we folks here in Brattle
boro sit around and complain because
town or village affairs are not more eff
GENTLY managed, when the fault is really
our own because the remedy is within
our grasp and we haven't energy enough
to make use of it. Start out this after
noon and ask taxpayers as you meet
them this question: Don't YOU think we
ought to put our town and village gov
ernment on a more bnsinesslike basisE'
And the answer you will get from every
one will be: Sure thing, we ought to
have done it long ago. Think of the
dollars we'd have saved if we had" But
then come back with this one: viii
you take hold and help put this through
even to the extent of accepting public
office if necessary? And watch the
sidestepping and other contortions that
ensue.
The real trouble is that men who have
the capacity for starting a movement
toward better local government, and the
influence, confidence and resources to
make it successful, would rather pay the
price of shiftless administration, in
higher taxes. and less to show for them,
than to take off their coats and work
for the benefit of themselves and their
neighbors. That may sound like a harsh
statement, but SO long as we go on as We
