Pueblo chieftain., 1921-10-21
A Time For Calm Thinking

The people of Pueblo should not be too easily in
uenced to changes in either the plan the personnel
of the city government.
1t is always easy matter to claim big results for
plan that has not been tried The present system
of city government by three commissioners heraded
the for all city evils. 1t has worked
what better than the old plan of a mayor and council
and its merits have been in proportion to the
attention given by the people and the quality Of the
commissioners that have been elected under it.
The city manager plan might give better results than
the commission FORM but might give very much worse
results than Pueblo has had under the commission FORM
For the provisions that would enable competent
of the city, would enable another kind of manager to
eft Of political machine group of awbreakcr. for
his own personal political benefit
The people Of Pueblo, therefore, should consider
worked in other cities but they should also consider how
it is going to work in Pueblo at the present time.
Within the next few years there will be spent in
end around Pueblo for flood protection several million
dollars in addition the regular costs Of city
meut If the present commissioners, of similar
quality continued in Office under the present
mission FORM those millions will be spent honestly and
effectively under the advice Of the committees Of twelve
and Of hundred and fifty and with the best expert
advice that can be had in the United States
If the right commissioners are not elected, or if
the city charter is radically changed, it is not all
certain what the result will be- but there is at least
strong probability that persons who would like
to have hand in the distribution of those millions
will work for changes in the present plans
