The government Of the city OF
Fredericksburg is by various city Of

in operation for twelve years and has
been success. Although fifty acres
of land were set aside FOR the town
in 1911 and the town continued to grow
and prosper from that date. 1T was
not regularly Incorporated until 1927.
The government TT first was invested
in seven trustees, Lut in 1888 these
were replaced by a mayor and coun
Gil. This form iI"s continued to the
present. the council now consisting
in twelve members. Formerly the
business affairs of the city corpora
ton were conducted by the various
council committees. but this was
found to be unsatisfactory, and in
1912 Z city comni ssioacr was APP
pointed by the council. To this city
commissioner was delegated all the
duties and functions of those commit
tees Later the title was changed to
city manager.

of the school board; the health and
police departments. which are still
under jurisdiction of the mayor. and
the court and finance departments.

Of government has been successful,
