' ROTARIANS HEAR OF COUNCIL MANAGER PUN FOR CITIES Harvey Fuller Presented En- lightening Address at Yes- terday's Luncheon A description of the city man- ager plan of municipal government an in overation in thirteen Cana dian cities was given by C. Harvey Fuller, business administrator wn the Board of Education, In an in- teresting address before the Rotary Club at fits luncheon yesterday noon. Before accepting his present position here Mr. Fuller was for several years city manager at Chat- ham and his remarks were there- fore based on the wealth of experi ence gained In the operation of this system during tha nerind which he spent in that thrivine Western On- tario city of some 20,000 popula- tion. "I have not come today with any intention of advocating the city manager system for Oshawa or any other municinality,"" Mr, Fnrller rx- plained, "for 1 rvealizo that the method of municipal rovernment here as in the malority of Can- adlan cities is »ffectiva and large- Iv efficient, The city manager scheme has brought splendid re- sults however In every place In which it has been given a fair trial" The system had proved particu- larly advantageous in United States cities, he stated, due to the fact that the old municipal methods there had left so much scope for in- efficiency and corruption to a de- gree which Is not found in Canada, Germany, ho claimed, has long been famous for the efficiency of its municipal governments and the administration of its elties is In the hands of a council, a powerful elee- tive body, = magistracy, whose members are elected for a period of twelve years and include officials who are oxpert fn municipal gov- ernment, and the burgomaster who is president of the magistracy, In 1908 the e¢ity manager scheme, copled in part from Germ- any, was introduced to the United States, In 1913 the first charter for city manager was acceded to Lockport, New York. A few years later, Dayton, Ohlo, which had sus- tained heavy losses on account oi a disastrous flood, was placed un- der city manager government and through the efficiency of the system the municipality made a splendid recovery from what wag practically bankruptey, The system adopted by thirteen Canadian cities and towns may more correctly bé termed the coun. ¢ll manager system and Is some- what different to the American plan, the speaker affirmed. He sides Chatham, Niagara Falls, Out- remont, Westmount, Three Rivers, Shawinigan Falls, Woodstock, N.B,, Wolfville, Brandon, Lethbridge and Moosejaw are included among the municipalities which 'have adopted council manager government, In Chatham, Mr, Fuller contin. ued, there is a council of five mem- bers and mayor. The purchasing of supplies fo the various eivie dp- partments is centralized under the city manager who Is able to effect genuine economics. The system aleo ends itself toward continuity of ad- ministration, "The Board of Education *~ <=h- awa," the speaker comment Vw', "is trying to Introduce business meth- ods In its administration." As tar as actual education is con- corned, the city's schools had ar. rived at a high standard before he arrived on the job, Mr, Fuller stat- od, due to the fact that the schools wefe under the management of well-trained principals with com- petent staffs of teachers. The Board of Education is now striving, he sald, to introduce special class. es to care for the education of the children who have less mental abil. ity than thelr fellows. Through the Introduction of 'trained instruc- tors the pupils are also being ed- ucated in health so that they may have sound bodies as well as keen minds, Upon the conclusion of Mr, Ful. lor's address, President George Hart, who {8 alto an alderman, ex- pressed his favor for the city man. ager system, "An Aldermen," he stated, "we aro often called upon to decide questions of which we have no technical knowledge and cannot The penny bank system will be introduced into the public schools of the city about October 1st, short- ly after the beginning of the new term, the Board of Education de- termined last night in adopting the report of the management come mittee as presented by the chair. man, Br, ¥, J, Donevan, The eommittee had Instructed Trustee Anderson, chairman of the special committee, and C. ¥. Can- non, supervising principal of pub lie schools, to investigate the opera~ tion of penny banks in schools throughout the province, After con- siderable inquiry and study they submitted that the system was en- dorsed by the teachers with whom they came in contact when visiting Toronto schools, The installation of the system, including preliminary work and supervision would be done by J, R., Littleproud; Provin- chal work and supervision would be done by J, R. Littleproud, Pro- vinelal Penny Bank Inspector, they stated while the cost Including the necessary stationery and supplies would be about $225 for the first year with #170 a year for succeed- ing years. The penny bank would promote thrift and therefore train for citi. zenship Trustee Anderson and Bupervising Principal Cannon claimed. It would teach foresight and good judgment and enable the teachers to teach In junior classes jhe principles of counting and add- ng. The report of Principal A. BW. O'Neill showed that during the month of April there was an aver- age attendance of 826.8 pupils or 91.1 per cent. There was a total en- rolment of 860 students, including 486 In the academic department, 276 in the commercial and 107 in the technical department, Supervising Principal Cannon re- ported that in the city's eight pub lie schools there had been an aver- nage attendance during April of 96 por cent, Albert street school had the best attendance record with 97 per cent. Edwin Bebbington Received Nasty Burns as He At- tempted to Carry Pail With Flaming Contents Outside A fire that might weil have de- veloped into a serious conflagration occurred at the home of Edwin Bebbington, 193 William street east, at 6 o'clock last evening. Vhile heating a quantity of tar in a vessel on an electric stove in the kitchen of the house, Mr. Beb- bington noticed that the tar was in danger of boiling over and attempt. ed to carry the pail out of doors. As he picked up the pall the tar Pail of Tar on Stove Burst Into Flames, House Took Fire scemed to suddenly take fire and flowed over the stove and the floors, In his gallant effort to carry the tar outside Mr, Bebbington received vory painful burns to his han¥s. After removing the pail from the house Mr, Bebbington refurned to the house and tried to remove the rugs that were by that time burn- ing furiously, Fire Chief Elliott, informed The Times that the damage would in all probability run as high as $300, Mr, Bebbington wishes to express the thanks of his wife and him- self to the Oshawa Fire Depart« ment who rendered yeomen assis tance in quelling the fire and also to all those who so ably assisted him and rendered first aid during the fire.

For some time it has been rum ored that the highway would be widened as spon. as the radials wero abandoned, It is feared that greater conges- tion will result on the highway as a. result of extra coaches being put into operation and this is expected to hasten action by the department This morning representatives ot eastern municipalities confered with Mr. Henry to ascertain if the department has any plans for a highway parallel to the Kingston Road.

Every member of the board sees it betore him write ten In bold letters," stated Chairs man Alex. W, Bell last night in summing up a spirited discussion which arose when Trustee Annis suggested that there was a possibe 'ility that it the business administ~ rator was required to take oved too much detail work, a large cen~ tral office staff would become neces sary thus adding to the expense of operating the city's schools. Trus- tee Annis issued this warning when Harvey Fuller, business administ~ rator. was required to take over temporary stenographer during. a period of a month or six weeks in which the stenographer, employed jointly by himself and C. ¥, Cane non, supervising principal of public schools, will find it necessary to devote all her time in assisting the supervising principal's department, "There is danger that we may, become over organized," Mr. Annis sald, "and if all the detail work is cast upon the business administrate or's shoulders we may find our« seives drifting toward a central of« fice staff, Are we justified in shove ing more work on the business ad ministrator's department? Could fot some of these details be de- centralized among the 120 teachers in the public schools and the 26 teachers in the collegiate?' Trustee Vickery agreed with the previous speaker's views. "I believe," he said, "that the system of conducting. the board's business which we have set up in the past year is good but we are passing through Jean years and need to cut down expenditures at every corner. For instance, the methods which were formerly in vogue at the Collegiate respectin the purchase of supplies were satise factory so why should we not cone tinue to function along those lines, without loading too much detailed work on the business administrgs or." Trustee Donevan commented that the old methods at the Collegiate had often resulted in over pubs chasing with resultant loss to the board, . "Some of the things which have been said have got under my collar a bit," he stated, "but I am not going to indulge in personalities.
