Cleveland is the largest American city to have a city manager. There are other cities Of size which have them, however, notably Indianapolis, Miami, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth. Cincinnati, etc. In the New York World Almanac for 1880 there are d total of S92 cities listed as having city managers the same total as the year before.
 The political furore in Cleveland over it's city manager system Of government has been widespread ever since it's adoption. In 1927 a proposal to abandon the system was defeated by only $500 votes; in 1928 q similar proposal was defeated by only 3,200; last August another popular referendum on the subject was held, yielding a victory for the city manager by only 5000 votes out of a total of 100000 votes cast.
 Cleveland is not ultra conserva tive. + voted for La Toilette in 1924 and for Al Smith in 1928, From the days of Tom Johnson and his his tory-making fight on the private operation of street railways, to the present with Peter Witt, a battle scared civic leader of the Tom Johnson school, politics in Cleveland have been unique. MT. Witt has been q strong opponent of the city man. ager plan.

 There are thousands so hypnotizei by the Gotham glitter. They prefer tc be the proverbial lamp posts on Broadway rather than go to any other city and be somebody of inn pcrtanCe. They are remindful of punch drunk fighters refusing to take the count.
 Nowhere do people take so many clips on the chin-and smile. New York, no matter the vic!ssitudes, is the top of the world to them and any place else is merely camping out Strangely enough, once they get away for awhile they rarely come back to town.
 Yet the majority cannot make the break The White Way has a vast army of familiars whose lives are spent marking time. They are per petually buoycd by the bromide of super Optimists: "SOmething is bound to turn up" The fact it doesn't never dampens their ardor

 It is from such drifters that Broadway recruits its harmless cad gers. Bachelor friends have spare rooms and they park there an1 make themselves useful by serving as Fridays" There are so many lonely bachelors that many welcome such ompanionship.
 In the same fashion they acquire cast off clothes. Around the speak casies and chop houses they are so cngagingly amiable they can pick up coffee cakes and cigarettes" And with few drinks always begin bragging-the pitiful braggadocio of a hopeless inferiority.

A majority of the city council or Cleveland has had sufficient time to he dominated by political racketeers, The city manager would not play their game.

 The next move will be another nopular referendum on retaining the city manager.

New Britain herald., 1930-01-16

It is usually the organized business men of a city who are responsible for the adoption of the city manager plan of government. They want the city to be run Hike a business"
 The organized business men in such cities usually also see to it that the first city councils under the city manager plan, after they obtain its adoption, is composed of their type of citizens The first few years after a city adopts the city manager form of government at the behcst of busi- ness men. and while their more abler type of citizenship are elected to the city council the city government is at its maximum of efficiency.
 The trouble is, it doesn't stay that way.
 After while the business element which brought about the city man. ager plan and the better-class city council again become absorbed Tn their own problems, become apath- etic toward civic problems, and per init the politicians to take charge Of the city council.
 Politicians are different from busi- ness men in that respect. politician is always on the job, is constantly looking out for himself and ms friends in a political sense, A busi- ness mans interest in politics is apt to be perfunctory-hot one year and frigid the next.
 The politician is go-getter in the field of politics. The business man is a go-gctter in his own business and only plays with politics occa- sionally as a side line,

The effect of the triple holiday,
