Without blare of trumpets some
425 American.cities have already es -
tablished a 'busines'slike plan of 'mun-
icipal government. They call it the
ci
city -manager plan because under it
they employ a professional manager
to run the ,municipality. He is re-
sponsible only to the small elected
council which appoints him. The vot-
ers are the stockholders who choose
the board of directors which, in turn
selects the active executive. .
The success of this plan in carnal-
ating
g graft and inefficiency has Ibeert
so striking that each month from ons
to three cities ate adolpting it. On -
of everyfive American cities with a
population of over 10,.000 one now
