The city-manager plan, on the
other hand, has been giving contin-
uous policy and administration
through elections after elections, pri-
marily because the executive is in q
position to think municipality rather
than politically. His future lies in
the general municipal field and if
one town does not like him, he can
move on.
Councils may change with the
recurring eIcctions-though they
usually don't-but the new admins
tration finds that it can best meet
its own great responsibilities by re
tanning the executive who is on the
job and knows the ropes.
That is why there has been MICH

Jackson, Mich, has planned a sewe.

other hand, she could not as a de-

Wash. Feb. There is general dis

the Delaware delegation will unite With
other statesmen IN trying to amend IL
so as to have IL meet the needs of the
country. The House bill merely appro-
PIRATES lump sum of slb.oo0.oOo ana
leaves its apportionment to army ensi-
necrs.
This is not regarded as Satisfactory
in view of the fact that Delaware alone
needs s2.50o,ooo TO finance her projects
in 1922. These projects have already
been authorized. but there seems to be
. disposition 10 delay their completion

General Taylor. OF the war Depart
ment has stoutly contended that enough
money should be provided for the main
tenance of Wilmington Harbor. But
under the provisions of the House bill
ii may be necessary TO neglect some OF
the necessary work there.
Wilmington" explained General
Taylor, "is on Christiana river. few
miles from the Delaware. and the con-
ditions are such that il shoals very rap
idly. making 1t necessary TO do continu-
Gus maintenance work. Unless such
work is continued the harbor would
shoal TO such an extent that they
would not be able 70 use 1t.
General Taylor said il would be neces-
sary to provide very nearly $4,000 a
month TO operate the dredEe on tho
river. a Congressman suggested 70
General Taylor that there ought this
year be saving Of IS per cent in the
cost of dredging the river. but the
general said there was little hope that
any substantial saving could be effected
except III the cost Of coal and then

unexpected.
