The Employees:

City employees under strict civil service regulations feel greater se- curity In office when relieved from the fortunes and pressures of political parties. The minimizing of the spells system and the en- forcement of merit requirements for obtaining positions promote honest and efficient service.
 Definite placing of responsibility is @ requirement for efficiency and honesty in any large scale organi- zation. Our present mayor-coun- ell system permits buck-passing of responsibility, with Q consequent fiourishing of inefiiciency and waste. The city manager plan is now in operation In 456 cities and 2 counties in the United States and in l9 foreign communities Twenty-four per cent of all cities over 100000 in population that can legally adopt the plan have done so. A total of l2 cities adopted 1t during 1887.
 With thousands of Waterbury citizens dependent on vital gov ernment services, misgovernment under an antiquated system be- comes too wasteful in terms of money and human values to be longer tolerated. By adopting the city manager plan, Waterbury will take @ long step forward on the road to better government.

NEW SANITARY
 CODE IS ORDERED
Last Autumn's Emergency Causes Health Board to
 Take Action

Announcement of the enactment by the Public Health Council of a new regulation of the state sanitary code which took effect January 3, 1889 is made in the current Issue of the monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health. Brought about as the result of experience with two major disasters in Con- necticut which affected to some ex- tent the public water supplies, the new regulations set forth definite required procedure to be followed in the event. of future emergencies. While 1t is pointed out that excel- lent cooperation of water officials and health agencies was experienced during the 1886 and 1888 disasters, the Public Health Council believes that defiuite procedure is desirable in the event of future emergencies. The regulation reads as follows
 "Whenever the treatment of public water supply is interrupted or the source of the supply is dam aged so as to impair the quality or the sufficiency of the supply, the person, firm or corporation, includ- ing municipal corporation. in charge of such supply. shall notify the state department of health and the local health officers of all cities, towns and boroughs where water from such systems is supplied. Such notification shall be made promptly either by telephone, messenger or whatever other means of rapid com munication Is available"
 Copies of the regulations have been sent to all water works mana agements and 1t is felt that by set- ting down Q definite routine to be followed efforts to protect the pub- lie health will be expedited.

which he was working.
Mr.. Kvasnicka was at the top

a distance of about Is feet. He
suffered two broken ribs, bro
ken arm, sprained ankle and
severe bruises, but the fall saved

Governor Urges
BabcOck Memorial

The statewide movement to erect
a memorial to the late Charles M.
Babcock, Minnesota's first commits
sioner of highways, was given i'm
petus this week by an endorsement
of Governor Harold E. Stassen, sent
to every newspaper in the state
by Charles j. Moos, secretary of the
Charles M. Babcock Memorial As
ISOLATION, and Earle Brown, the chair
man.
81 unhesitatingly commend the as
ISOLATION and its objective to every
civic-minded citizen as deserving of
his or her enthusiastic cooperation, y
Governor Stassen said.
"Charlie Babcock, as he was known
to the good roads advocates of more
than a quarter of a century, was a
man who devoted his life unselfishly
to the task of bringing Minnesota's
highways out of the wagon trail stage
and coordinating them into unified
network of arterial routes.
"Minnesota's trunk highway system
is a living memorial to his foresight,
his energy and his capability. l
hope, however, that more objective
memorial will be made possible by
modest voluntary contributions from
those who today enjoy the benefits
of his vision, so that future genera
tons may better know and appre-
ciate the deeds of great man,
Charles M. Babcock."
