MANAGER CITIES SAVE CASH BY
 HALTING WASTE

"A common question being ask ed is, Does the council-manag- CT plan reduce the tax rate?" A study made a few years ago showed that cities with the low est rates, half were council-man- ager cities although only one fourth of all the cities in the list had adopted the plan.
 The tax rate, however, is not necessarily the best index of good government Tax rates can be lowered by trickery, such as by increasing property valua- tlons, by curtailing services, and by borrowing instead of using current revenues to pay for ser vices or improvements.
 The best measure of admin istrative efficiency is unit cost of operation. If it costs $10 to pave square yard of street one year and only $4 the next year, the taxpayer is at last getting a break. City managers are con stantly looking for ways to cut unit costs. They maintain in their professional association an elaborate central service to col feet the best experience from other managers.
 Hundreds of Millions Saved Any estimate of the total sum saved for American taxpayers by the manager plan would be only a guess. Certainly the figure runs into the hundreds of mill lions. Cincinnati saved almost $2,0O0,000 in it's first two years. Dallas cut operating expenses about $750,000 a year within a [ few months.
 Slipshod methods cost the tax payers countless millions in bad 1 ly governed cities. Unwise bor- rowing, unsound methods in tax collection and wasteful purchas- ing procedures make an enor- nous difference. Managers usual ly plug these leaks. They install budget control and weekly or daily checks on the earmarking and spending of funds.
 Cities in Alaska having the city manager plan include Anch-

VI Einar Bach, Board members Jessie Klem and Maud Hosler, Howard McCallister, promotion manager, and William A. Zah- radnicek, the latter who offered welcome on behalf of the City of Palmer.

Lack of funds is curtailing Al aska's agricultural research pro- gram, announced A. H. Mick, di- rector of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station today. Al though operating costs continue to rise, said Mick, they have not been offset by additional Terri torial or Federal funds. Official word was finally received in late August that Alaska's share of this years Federal Hatch appro priation was only $3,723 higher than last year. To maintain the level of research activity car ried on in 1856 requires an ad- ditional $38,000.
 Research costs have gone up nearly 20 per cent since 1855" said Mick. To offset these rising costs the Territory appropriated only six per cent more funds for the 1956-57 biennium and none for the 1958-59 biennium. The size of the research program must therefore be reduced. The fol- lowing reductions have already been made:
 College Farm (Fairbanks)-A vacancy created by the resigna- tion on July of Harold Black, animal husbandman, will not be filled.
 A vacancy resulting from the resignation of William Wilder, agronomist, cannot be filled. The summer labor force has been re- duced by three men and the mess hall will be closed within a year.
 ,Matanuska FarmA vacancy resulting from the resignation last April of Richard Foley will remain thrilled.
 A clerk-receptionist position will remain vacant.
 Palmer Laboratory-A librari- an s position ana an edltoTS pO- sition will remain vacant. The position of Associate Director will not be filled. One clerical position will remain vacant.
 Because several of these va cancies remained thrilled last year to balance the budget, the total savings this year amount to some $30,000, said Mick. So far the fur research program at Petersburg has not been cut back AS the Experiment Sta tion's physical plant has improv- ed in recent years, some founda- ton funds have been obtained for special projects, said Mick. Promising new projects which may attract additional founda- tion support are focused on the
