Every piece of legislation Strengthening the workmen's
COMPENSATION law which came up during his legislative ca

FORM
OF GOVERNMENT
fEontinund from Pauo


drawn pay before, so that the new sal
airy roll totaled $34,240. This left a
net saving in salaries of $46,17S. In
the engineering department alone,
about $4,000 was saved on the salary
roll, by the simple adoption of the
perfectly clear motto, "a days work
for a days pay" Proportionate re-
duction and saving was made in the
city health department, and in the
finance department enough ost motion,
was picked up to Size $4,000 from the
pay roll.
Other savings We're made by con-
solidation of offices, avoiding duplica-
ton, elimination of time lost, syste-
matization of the amount of work
to be accomplished by each empl Ire
each day, and Capitalization of man
agement. The immediate result of
this has been, not only saving in
money, but greatly increased conve-
nience for the public. All offices
with which the public ordinarily deals
such as water charges, tax collections,
water tap permits, building permits,
electrical installation permits, bust
ness licenses, garbage collections, and
similar necessities of everyday life,
have been put in one large office on
the fsrt floor of the hall. Formerly
the man or woman who had business
with more than one of these depart
ments, was compelled to travel over
three floors, and enter at least half
dozen offices, before he or she could
obtain the service for which he or she
paid.
These changes We're put into effect
the first day. without friction, and
without delay, so carefully and so
thoroughly had they been worked out
before the new forces took office. The

best thing about the new system OF
city government is that it is working
even better in practice than it prom
ised to work in theory. As soon as
it was seen that the change was go
ing to be sunccess, work was begun
on the 1922 budget. The finance de-
partment, of which H. c .Bottorff is
the head, discovered that former bud
gets gave no adequate basis on which
to work. Then Bottorff took his pen
in hand and analysed each and every
expenditure for 1920 and the first half
of 1921, to establish an entirely new
and sound basis for the future. a
chart, showing every expenditure in
detail was prepared. Department
hearings were held for each division
of the city government. When the
budget finally was drawn, it showed
a net reduction in operating costs for
the year 1922 of $123,281.88.
In spite of this reduction, added to
which was another cut due to lower
ing of assessed valuations, money for
permanent work was provided, as well
as for new enterprises, new equipment
and increased salaries for policemen
and firemen. An appropriation Of
$4,000 was put into the 1922 budget
for development of plans and surveys
for a hydro-electric plant for Sacra-
mento, which is the second city in the
state-Los Angeles being the first
to take definite steps for municipal
hydro-electric development. From the
1921 appropriation, Seavey and Bot
torff managed to save enough money
to begin a survey of this hydro-elec-
trio power project; the city filed on
power sites in the Silver Creek terri
tory, and men are now in the field
making the preliminary surveys.
Funds also were found from the
1921 income to bring the filtration
plant of the city water supply up-to-
date, and the virtual rebuilding of
this plant is now practically completed
On this, also, considerable money was
saved to the city through check es-
tablished on the work by Bottorff
who supervised all expenditures and
purchases, checked work on all con-
tracts, and established an ironclad
rule that every penny put into the
work had to be approved by him as
city controller. The story of the loses

Woman Invalid Puts
Out Fire With Hands

Pittsburgh, PA bedridden
INVALID for five years, Mrs.
George Wuchenrich, forty-two
YEARS old, of 2912 Carson street,
crawled on her hands and knees
to- a fire which had started in
her bedroom and with her hands
beat out the flames, saving her
own life and preventing destruc-
ton of her home.
Aroused by her walls, her hus-
band came to her aid, but not
until she had practically extiH-
guashed the fire. She was burned
about the hands, but not seri-
ously.
The invalid woman was awak-
ened by smoke in her room.
Crawling and rolling from her
bed she worked her way slowly
tcfthe side of the room where
the wallpaper was ablaze and
the fire rapidly spreading. Work
ing frantically for several min
utes despite her physical inirmi-
ties, Mrs. Wuchenich had beaten
the flames almost out by the
time her husband reached the
scene.

and waste in this one comparatively
small part Of the city's work alone
would fill good-sized book. M. avg W
In the spare time they had from
their various jobs, Seavey, with the
aid of Bottorf, undertook to collect
a number of claims owing to the city
for years, which previous administra-
tons, for various reasons, some OF
them political, had failed to collect;
many of them on which no attempt
at collection had been made.
The next step was survey OF all
cities in California to determine whe-
Their the revenues of Sacramento
were proportionately what they should
be. This work was undertaken and
carried through by Controller Bottorff
and his staff. Comparison of the
charges in each class of business in
every city in the state was made. This
was huge task, which required con-
siderable time, but it was completed
in the first three months of the city
manager operation of Sacramento. AS
a result it was determined that a
ordinance regulating
businesses, and prescribing adequate
license taxes on these businesses,
must be drawn. This business tax
ordinance was put into effect October
1, 1921, and is bringing from $4,000
ito $4,000 annually into the city cof-
fers.
