 have always deemed it out of or der that municipal officers be elected at the same time as we have injected ever our progress in the United States been so retarded that the preservs- ton Of political parties has been maintained from a basis of the cleo ton of town and city officers. Whether we can change this in our lifetime is to me a serious question. However the apparent doubt of ac complaining this rerorm should not deter any single community from solving it's own municipal problems apart from the economic situation or the nation at large.
 Personally, political activity would be more attractive to me if I could have a battle of wits, a debate and an argument on the merIrs or tariff and free trade, of sound money as against fat money, of private owner ship as against government owner ship than to have the success of my argument and mental activities con- tingent upon the desires and - in many cases not we'll founded-amb1- tions of individuals to hold public office and. particularly, as a matter of livelihood and revenue.

claim that whatever evils exist m our political system Nationally are directly traceaDIe to whatever evil conditions exise in our politics mu- nicipally. As an example-J have seen instances throug1ouJ the coun- try of men in control of public and private enterprises somewhat privil- eged. who are also men privately of gent political organization just as long as their public and private e1i- terprises are unmolested. Doubtless such gentlemen occasionally have a twinge of conscience and refrain from analyzing this evil to its ult1- mate result which, in my judgment, means pulling the house down upon themselves or their successors.
 No Minorit< Foist.
 I refer to such extreme case to emphasize to you my own belief that wherever pohucal evil exists 1t De- gins wEth municipal system and ii a plan can be devised which will be wise and economical in its admins tratiOn, humail and violates nothing of that almost lndefinable American spirit, am willing to cooperate in a humble capacity and in the rank anu file, not as any leader, With any group Of gentlemen who will promise to initiate the plan wisely, intelligent ly, unseIhshly and with no hope of reward for themselves. I malnain' however that there should be a free expression and no attempt of a ml- nority to 1o4st something upon au unwilling, inactive maJorIty, realizing at the same time that all forward movements are initiated by a minor ity.
 Would Study Plan.
 I hereby commit InyseII to a City Manager plan theoretically but WIFI reserve the right to commit myself to specific pan until 1 see the de- ta.Is- Of the scneme to ipe plt.posed.

 Human Government"
 Many years of political activity have convinced me that the most as ute and competent business man will not be a success in government unless he is thoroughly human and that there is more to government than the mere administration of dollars. Bus mess success alone is not the signal of ab 2 D, lily; 3dCI;, if it were, both Abraham should have been pronounced fail ures. Business experience must be one of the large remaining factors in a successful government but the City Hall State House and the National Capitol must be something more than an accounting office if we are to have an ideal, beneficial, successful and permanent government.

ager plan to be worked out for the City of Bridgeport. I want you to accept my statement on it's face with no ulterior motive nor secreting of plans. I am theoretically for City Manager and practically for it if a feasible scheme, not altogether exempt from mistakes can be devised but, on general principles. I think I am quite correct in not committing myself to a detailed plan of which I know nothing an which 1 may not be able to ap- prove. If you think it worth while for ing ideas which I think should prevail, shall be very glad to do so.
 lnasmuch as your suggestion of letter to me was in a public place, this letter should be given publicity but l leave that to your judgment. With kindest regards, l am,
 Sincerely yours,

 Charge Tax System.
 In reply to this letter, MT. Cooper asked for charter suggestions. MT. King replied that in his opinion the first evil to be cured is the tax sys- tenn; he recommended the absolute5 g necessity of everybody making aN sworn statement of their taxable val-9 ues. He also suggested a consolida-4 ton of the Health, Charities and Po- lice Departments and a consolidation of the functions of the City Clerks offices.
 Regarding the Board of Education, MT. King wrote:
 Politics and Education
 "The Board of Education seems to me to be beyond our best endcaV-. OTIS inasmuCh as the State Statutes seem to conflict with what might be good policy for the individual City of Bridgeport. I have always kept away from the Board of Education office politically because I never wanted to see the educational system injected into the political maeIstrom."
 Too Many Cars.
 Asserting that the city owned alto gether too many cars, MT. King also advocated consolidation of the Public Works Department, Paving and Sewer Commission, Street Cleaning activities and the Municipal Garage.
 There doesn't seem to be any healthy reason why there should be an Auditor Department with it's over head and an Assistant Treasurer's De partment with the cores bonding overhead, added MT. King. In con junction with these departments he ies for taxes, which is now the func- ton of the Tax Collectors office, and he would have the money deposited every day in the city's name.
 No change is recommended in the Park and Library Departments, but MT King thinks the Recreation Board ought to be included in the Public Works Department, which he sus- gests should also include the func- tfons of the City Engineer.
 MT King thinks the Board of Al dern1en should be retained in con. function with a city manager form or government and that there should be elected five commissioners to serve without salary in an advisory capacltysS
 The right sort of city managers 4Nrr King concludes, would be cheap at $25,OO0 a year and he would pc safeguarded by a heavy surety bond
