FOR CITY MANAGER
Hays Head Says He Thinks
That Best Form Government.
CITY Is More Efficiently Gov
erned Then, Is His Belief.

HAYS Kan. June 21.-The commits
sion-manager form Of government for
the small city, ranging from 500 to
s 600 Dopulation, is the most efficient,
most Economical and most successful
form of city government that can be
had, in the opinion OF A w Seng,
city manager Of Hays Discussing the
advisa bility OF the city manager plan
for small cities, Manager Seng listed
the following advantages:
Higher efficiency in municipal ad-
ministrstion.
Better service from public utilities
whether municipality or privately
More economy in financing and up
keep Of the city's credit
Better results from improvements IN
public works
Elimination of the politician and
political CRATER.
The commission of three men is
better than a council of five, seven or
nine. where the councilmen are elected
10y wards, Manager Seng said. ne
small council at once does away with
political obligations and ward jeal-
ousies between residents of the d1f-
he spent for public Improvements
where IL will do the most good ana
does not have to be divided up among
the different wards in order TO ap-
pease a belligerent constituency
a further advantage or having a
three-man commission is that OF ad-
rninistrative organization in the FORM
Of department committees Instead OF
having about three men on each COM
mittee, none of which usually have
any time to attend to the business in
hand hoping that the other will at
tend to II. the commission form has
onc-man committee. This places re-
sponsibiIity and saves the usual time
lost in calling committee meetings
The city manager should be a
graduate or professional engineer.
Seng said. '.as a means of saving the
expense Of hiring extra trained men.
In this way the offices of city en-
cineer. superintendent of light, water
and sewer departments and commits
sioner of streets may be combined and
taken care of by the manager. He
has direct supervision of the city
accounts.
"One great advantage Of the COM
mission-manage form. is the annual
budget for making the tax levy The
manager is in better position to
know and figure out the needs and
financial condition Of the~city than
any other person. After allowing for
the fixed overhead expense of the city
in the way of sinking fund. interest,
taxes. insurance. salaries and so forth,
he can make a very close estimate on
the needs of the city in regard to i'm
prOvements. extensions, and general
expenses The taxpayer can thus
know just how much it is going to
cost 10 run the city
Manager Seng predicted that the
next five years would see the develop
ment of greater favor of the commits
sion manager form Of government and
more efficient men for the managerial
positions.

across the ravine in the east part OF

dramaged- The car is still standing al
tho place of meeting and is kept from
going into ditch by the remaining
front wheen being hooked on to the
banister.
No owner has been found for the
car. The latest theory is that the &C.
cupants were an clipping couple who
escaped serious injury and were able
to obtain assistance in completing
their trip.
In the beginning 1t was thought that
the car had been used to convey nome
brew but nothing about bears out the
theory. A close watch is being kept
for the claimant. The bridge was not
