ONE CITY

Here Is What City Manager
Has Done for Knox
vile.
BY NATHAN D. WHITE


NOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 25.--
This growing city in the
C9 Southern Appalachians which
surprised the nation the other day
by making a 10 per cent refund to it's
taxpayers, presents an interesting
study in municipal hOuse-cleaning.
Back of the tax rebate lies tea
months of efficient. non-political city
manager government.
Back of the city manager govern
ment were four years Of bipartisan
political government.
Graft, waste and extravagance
were rampant under the political
government.
Streets were built to improve
vacant property of city officials or
their friends while thousands of
citizens waded through the mud to
and from their work.
Water mains were installed on
streets without houses while res.
idents on thickly populated strests
had to use cisterns, wells and
springs.
Even Skinned Milk
Whisky seized by the police was
turned over to the city hospital from
which it soon disappeared.
Politicians. it was brought out in
an investigation, skinned the milk
Of hospital patients and used the
cream TO make eggnog for them
selves.
The politicians fixed a low tax
rate to fool the voters-and then
piled up a debt of 100000 in four
years.
Then the voters, sick and tired Of
1t all, held a referendum election
end kicked out the old city com.
mission plan. which had almost bank
rupted Knoxville. They selected the
city manager plan and hired Louis
Brownlow. a trained city executive,
10 manage a large business concern.
Brownlow and his helpers hardly
knew where to begin, but they
started out by making a budget Of q
half.million dollars less than the po-
lltical administration had spent IN
the previous year. They levied suffi.
cient taxes to meet the budget which
included many debts that had been
inherited
Disregards Politics
Brownlow selected as city depart
ment heads trained men. men who
knew how to run a city-without re-
eard TO politics.
Streets have been built and re-.
paired City water has been made
pure. Water service has been i'm
provd Garbage collection is regular
Health and welfare activities have
been extended
And yet. the city manager admin.
istration found at the end OF ten
months that the budget, although
$500 coo less than the political admin
istration had spent in the previous
year, was greater than needed; that
several hundred thousand dollars
would be left in the treasury at the
end Of the year.
So the city council met and voted
the 10 per cent refund to the stock.
