The fact that Norwich, Conn., has | this week voted to adopt a commis- sion form of government makes it the first of the cities in Connecticut to adopt this eystem. In Massachuset Haverhill is probably the most str! ing example of the success of the sy tem. An_article in the Twentieth Century Magazine for December skeichés very definitely and interest- ingly the reforms and tangible bene- fits which have accrued to Haverhill by the new system, which has been in operatlon for two years. So rapid hes been the growth Of the commis- slon system throughout the United States that President Eliot, in his oc- caslonal talks to clubs and other audiences in this clvinity on that sub- ject, has said that he is no longer the man to discuss it, but that these clubs ought to apply to the mayors or other representatives of commissions Ia the many cities of the United States so governed. The extraordinary extent of this commission government is probably not at all appreciated by Massachusetts people. That it al- ready embraces ninety-six citles, a number which will be Increased to ninety-seven at least when the Nor- wich charter is granted, will seem to most of our readers to be astonishing. The list which follows is certainly food for much study and careful ex- amination: Towa—Burlington, _Cedar Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Marshalltown, Sioux City.

Thus we the effect of & neighbor- hood contagicn, ome might say, for Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma are verv closely related, both geographically and in the kind of population. Mis- sour), however, which adjoins Kansas, has but one commission city, St Jo- seph, which is, however, one of the leading jobbing cities in the United States. ‘In lowa it is said that the movement has really reached its cul- mination, as the places included there are all cities of the first class, includ- ing the metropolls and capiial, Des Molnes, which is probably the hest governed commission city in the United States. Massachusetts, it will be observed, has five commission cities but thers are the only ones 80 far in New England. The idea does not seem to have any popularity whatever, in the large states like New York, Penn- sylvania, Ohio and Miinois. Even Wis- congin, foremost in insurgents, has but one city, and that not of the drst rank. So the growth of the commis- sion idea after all is somewhat spora- dis, but it is also phenomenal, and seems likely to spread much more originated there at Galveston and widely.—Boston Transcript Hale, land and buildings Occum.
