THE CITY MANAGER AND
BUSINESS METHODS TOLD OF
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskio

Akron, Ohio, with a population of
20S,000.
Cleveland Adopts New System
THE first test of how the new
plan will work in u very large city
will be afforded N Cleveland. The
Ohio metropolis has voted to adopt
the new system, which will become
effective there at the beginning of
1924. Since Cleveland has almost
million people, the system there will
be tried on u larger scale.
My belief is that the city man
ager fori1T offers the people means
CT controlling their government in
their own interest, without the arti-
flcial interference of political ma
chimes. 1t abolishcs the partisan
election, making the choice of mu-
nicipal legislators depend upon the
stand of the candidates with regard
to municipal issues. 1t wipes out
ward lines, substituting city wide in
terests and cityWide loyalties for
neighborhood interests and sectional
loyalties. 1t relieves the busy man
who would delight to serve his city
from all administrative duties and
the petty annoyances of patronage
and enables him to accept office in
legislative capacity in the council.
1t brings to the aCIual dunllnlStIa-
tion of municipal affairs trained ex-
ecutives who have no other interest
at heart than the sevice of the city.
THE results it VIE accomplish
will vary in every city, just as the
wishes an dthe will of the people
vary. 1t will respond to the will of
the people and will do what they
want done, without waste and with
out delay. For that reason / believe
it will continue to spread. and that
eventually it will form the basis of
q standard American method of mu
nicipal administration"

tween the Spanish possessions to the
south and the British holdings to the
north.
The expedition was sent out by
President Jefferson to explore the
Louisiana territory Immediately after
its purchase from France. The party
left the vicinity Of st. Louis May IA.

and wintered there until April Z, 1905.
Fourteen men were sent back to St
