Engineers are important factors In
this new era. both in government and
civil pursuits, and the American AS

engineer to greater usefulness in
his profession and to better COM

After reviewing the strides of the

The interesting development of
municipal government in this coun-
try, from the old common council
form through the commission scheme
to the city manager plan, has opened
up a singulariy attractive and fruit
ful field OF usefulness for the pro-
feSsional engineer. An engineer with
a wide experience in city work and
with business judgment and knowi-
edge of fiscal matters is especially
qualified to act as the business mana
ger Of Il city government. And such
has been the case, for at the present
time there are about $50 cities in this
country with the city manager form
of government and of this number
about 80 per cent are managed by
professional engineers.

Him Arrested.
