No doubt a good manager would be a good thing for the city. but so would a good mayor and board of control. Judging from the exper- ience of Cleveland, the largest city in the world to have a city manager. we would be no better of! under this system than under the present one. For Cleveland is likely to abolish the city manager the first time the citizens have a vote on the question. So cer- tain is it that this will be done that. the rival political parties are already grooming candidates for the mayor’s office. One of them will be the present city manager and the other will be a former colleague who, however, split with his friend when he became city manager and denounced him as a tool of the railroads. From an article by M. Herbert Wolf in “Plain Talk” we gather that ii the city manager is 9. good one, the city manager plan works.

It was in 1924 that Cleveland adopted the new scheme and elected William R.

CLEVELAND WEARIES 0F CITY'MANAGER PLAN BRITAIN ’8 PREMIER SPRINTER WINS Above is a fine action picture of J. E. London, Great Britain’s Olympic sprinter, winning the Middlesex County Championships loo-yard title with very little effort. London was a close second to Percy Williams in the loo-metres final at Amsterdam last summer. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Character Counts Cleveland still elects mayor and al- dermen and the theory is. that these constitute a board of directors to whom the city manager reports. and that this official, through the mayor and alder- men, remains directly responsible to the citizens. Nor would we suppose that as useful a type of citizen would offer himself for public ofiice now that ernment has increased from $8.59 in 1916 to 817.12 in 1927. The increase has been steady -. with the exception of a decrease in the two years when Kohler. the 1'0er police chief. sat in the Mayor’s chair. It is argued that the increased cost is due to the fact that Cleveland has been launching out. into new fields of activity. but at the most generous estimate this could. hardly account for the fact that the per capita cost has doubled in a decade. Another serious consequence of the city man- ager plan is that the people do not take the same interest in municipal af- fairs, as is revealed by the smaller per- centage that goes to the polls on elec- tion day. it has been shorn of nearly all its authority as in the old days when the mayor and alderman, actively, even if at timesmistakenly, conducted the at- fairs ofthe city. As Mr. Wolf says, “As elsewhere the people of Cleveland have come to the conclusion that improve- ment in municipal government cannot be brought about by magic word or act. It must come from within. There are good mayors and bad mayors. There are good managers and bad managers. Not the oflice nor its designation nor the supposed powers with which the man or the oflice is invested. but the charactefâ€"Bf the man it is that counts.” Sometimes a. breath of purer air Blows down; though men km That They feel its tonic coolness creep To stir their sluggish brains from sleep.
