It is simple and is understood by the voter. Tt litates getting capable executives in the public business. It makes non-partisan elections practical and thereby facilitates non- partisan administration. It centralizes responsiblity 4. How many cities have the city manager plan? More than 600. About 200 oth ave some variation of it. More than 11,000,000 Americans live in communities which have the manager plan 5. What size are these communities? They range from tgwns with populations of a few hundred to Cincinnati, with a population of half a million. One out of every five cities (over 10,000) has this form of government.. Is the plan growing rapidly? Four of every five citie§ which have drawn up new charters in recent years have adopted the manager plan. Abroad it is known as the typically: American form of government and is considered this country's principal contribution to the science of local government 7. What has been the experience of the cities now having this form overnment? ost uniformly the reports show citizens are well satisfied, tent records of improved service and reduced cost have been made by these cities 8. Why not elect the manager instead of appointing him? Whenever an administrative executive is elected, his office is thrown into politics. Men who are not at all qualified will seek the ion because it has a good salary. In order to be elected even ified man will have to make promises - or his campaign s will do so. That means appointments on a patronage basis instead of on merit. When the manager is appointed by a council, it is to his interest to make good appointments because he must make a good record to hold his job. 9. Will not the plan result in autocratic government by the manager instead of democratic government? Quite the contrary. Democracy consists in controlling public of- ficers, not necessarily in elect them, and that way is most democratic which gives the people the surest control. The most effective way for the people to control their public offices is to choose a representative group of citizens (the council) with power to hire the chief executive of the city. The council, if it is repre- sentative, can be relied on to keep a check on what he is doir nd fire him any time he is unsatisfactory. 10. Since it frequently impossible to find a trained city manager residing a city which adopts the plan, is not an out-of-town manager likely to be cut of touch with local sentiment? The city council, composed as it is of local men and women elected by the people, determines all matters of policy and the mar carries out its orders. The problems of all cities are &lm‘lu from an administrative standpoint, Hence, the manager need not be in close touch with the community prior to accepting office for he has nothing to do with the policy of the community. In fact, if he comes from out of town he has none of the local entanglements that arise inevitably from a residence in a city. He is identified with no faction or political party and has no obligations which might lead him to grant favors or special privileges., His freedom to make decisions independent of local influence and his broader experience more than make up for his initial lack of inti- mate acquaintance with the community. Witness a school super- intendent or head of a hospital. The positions are parallel 11. Why does the manager plan give us better executives? i1 Because all other forms of city government attempt to elect executives whereas the manager plan provides for the appointment of executives on the basis of an intimate examination of their qualifications unconfused with questions of their local political strength. In older forms of city government jobs are distributed on a patrona 12. How much managers usually paid? Salaries range from an average of $2,638 in cities with popula- tions less than 5,000 to an average of $12,657 in cities over 200,000 The lowest is about $600 (part-time), the highest, $20,400. 13. Why are jobs not distributed as patronage under the manager plan Primarily because it is to the interest of the manager to make appointments on the basis of merit. The manager looks upon his job as a profession and hopes for promotion to larger cities. He must therefore qualify as a trained municipal executive, keep out of factional politics and run the city as efficiently as possible. To dp this he has to have men and women on the job who are well qualified. His opportunity for advancement (larger salary or pro- motion to a larger city) depends entirely upon record for efficient administration in the city where he is working. Are civil service regulations abandoned under the manager plan? Quite the contrary! Since one of the basic principles of the manager plan is the appointment of municipal exnployees by merit, admin ation of civil service is usually far :nore effective than under any other form of gove 15. If our city adopts the ma present employees of the city? The universal practice is to retain every employee who is willing to earn his pay. Most employees are delighted at the change since they no longer have to pay a part of their salaries to a political party or work on election days to keep the administration in office, So long as the employees do their work satisfactorily and keep out of politics, their jobs are safer under the manager plan 16. Will net the manager build a political machine out of the employees? The answer is— none of them has done so. It would make the manager's retention a major issue at each election, and cut off all chance of his-promotion to a bigger job in another city 17. What city officials are elected under the manager plan? ' The best poliey is to elect only the members of the city council, ideally by the proportional representation form of voting The ceuncil appoints the manager who in turn appoints all department heads and other administrative employees. 18. Suppose the members of the council are politicians; cannot they appoint a manager who will do their bidding? Certainly. Tt is up to the voters to see that representative citi- zens are elected to the council. If the voters do not like the way the city is run, they can throw out the council at the next election, since the council is directly responsible to the voters for the gov- ernment of the city. However, the experience of most manager cities is that high grade councilmen are chosen, 19. Why are better ccuncilmen chosen under the manager plan than under other forms of government? When the job of councilman does not take so much time as to interfere with their private busin representative citizens can be induced to run for office. Under the old system only the pro- fessional politician could afford the time necessarily involved in 4he job of councilman. Furthermore, the manager plan works best with a non-partisan system of electing the council, thus divorcing national party issues from local elections and giving the non- machine candidate a chance to be elected. The fact that a busi- nesslike administration is possible also makes it appeal to men of high calibre. The position of councilman becomes one of dignity, responsibility and honor 20. What does the mayor do in a manager city? In manager cities which retain the office, the mayor is the pre- siding officer of the council chosen by the council from among its own membership. He is titular head of the city and usually has ample emergency powers. He interprets the government’s work to the people through platform and press and assumes leadership of policy. 21. Hew have city manager administrations treated labor? Invariably, labor has been well satisfied. Comments by labor leaders: Edward A. de Angelo, Toledo: “Labor is better represented in the present council than ever before and has had better treat- ment.” W. G, Lee, former national president, Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen: “I do not see how any working man can oppose the plan after investigating it.” F. B. Hill, former vice-president, West Virginia Federation of Labor: “The city manager plan is the most democratic and efficient form of municipal government Wwe have in America. I think there is no question but that this form of government satisfies the demands of labor far better than any other form.” 2. How many cities have abandoned the manager plan? Only 29 out of the more than 600 cities adopting it since 1908 have abandoned the plan by popular vote , what will happen to the 23. What were the reasons for the plan being abandoned? In all cases local politics or local personalities have been the cause. The small proportion of abandonment testifies to the fact that the manager plan ordinarily provides a businesslike non- political administration 24. Will the plan cut taxes in our town? The amount of money collected from the citizens is determined by the people’s representatives—the council—so that responsibility for the tax rate is definitely not on the manager but on the couneil The manager's job s to spend the money as carefully as he knows how. The manager plan has usually cut governmental c (Paid advertisement.) CABINETS FUL" FIXTURES ON & KRUSE BUILDING CONTRACTORS REPAIRING and REMODELING PHONE 133 116 So.
