self. All you have to do is watch the progress of the house. If you are satisfied, you say nothing. If you observe some hitch, you go di- rectly to the man you have hired the contractor, and take up the matter with him. He, in turn, places the responsibility on his su- bordinate who has been ct fault and corrects the matter. This is to your liking, for you have only one per. son to deal with, who Is fully re. sponsible to you for the entire job.
 The city manager plan, by provid- ing for the election of small coun- ell by the voters. enables the voters to place the full responsibility for the city government on the council. They come up for reelection every 2 years, and are therefore keeping ears to the ground to keep abreast of the wishes of the people. No other officials are elected, and the public therefore doesn't have to keep track of tn actions and omis- sions of numerous executives.
 By providing that council shall appoint e city manager as chief executive officer of the city, the council is able to effect its policies in an orderly and efficient manner, and has only one person with which to deal. He is the contractor" above referred to. He contracts" with council to hire efficient per- sonnel, and he is directly responsi. ble to the council for the efficient and economical management of the city, under the policies prescribed by the council. So long as the co,in- cil--the representatives of the peo. ple--is satisfied, the city manager stays on the job. Good city man. agers have stayed in one city for more than ten years. On the other hand, If he turns out to be ineffi- cient--or, If he cannot properly manage any of the departments of government--he is fired, and some one who can do c better pob Is hired the city manager plan is, in short, merely good business in Q city gov. ernment.
 The added feature of proportional representation, or "P. R." for short, is tho best means for putting the election of the councilmen in the hands of the people, and taking away this control of elections from the political bosses. How many Wa. terbury voters really have any of. fective voice in the caucuses and primaries, by which the candidates are chosen in the first instance9 Practically none at all. But under P. R., your vote will actually count to help elect some member of tho council. and the primaries and cau- cuses are abolished. Nomina tons are by petition instead. Thus, P. R. was the means whereby the voters Of New York city wrested control Of their city council from Tammany Hall; 1t Is the means whereby Cin- cinnati has maintained in office many of the best people In the com- munity; and it is the means where other American cities have elected the best councilmen in their respec- tive histories.
 If your club or other organization, would like to see c demonstrati ton of how P. R. works, call the Citizens Good Government Association, 24 Central avenue, 4-eb76.
