election proved to be the wrong way
to select men for technical tasks:
the electorate is interested first Of
all, and quite rightly, in representa-

Some very excellent and truly

down badly because they were mis-

labor representative would be an
propriate. And no high-grade bust
ness man could afford to interrupt
his private acreer for short term
on a salary.
There was often, also, too much
inclination on the part of individual
commissioners to set the needs of
their particular departments above
above those of the city as a whole
and to form combinations for clog
rolling" purposes.
"Vote for what l want in my de-
partment and l let you have your
may in your department" they said
and five-headed government was
the result, each commissioner grab

partment and nobody watching the
tax rate.

system lay in the lack of a single
executive head. Five men, deriving
their authority all from the same
