The provisions of the present charter covering the ties of the Corporation Counsel, Comptroller and Treasurer might remain the same We have shown on the acc ng chart a large circle by which the The intention is that ling organized that responsibility people of Seattle are represented attle shall be the con factor in the city shall be so the people of Se government; and that it is definitely fixed so that the people may lay their finger upon any member in the city administration who, in their opinion, is not performing satisfactory service.

However, they will be under the control of the Roard of Public Works, and all reports from their departments shall be made to the Mayor through the toard.

T meeting shall be held, if possible, at night, so that business men who wish to be- come members of the Council need not give up their work in order to do so, In this way the Council may have more practical men and fewer politicians in it. All the routine work now done by the Council shall be attended to by the Board of Public Works, so that described above will take care of the legislative work which comes before the Council in a perfect- ly satisfactory manner. ‘Ihe object would be to still permit them to engage in their ork, which would tend to keep them away from bothering of the Board of Public Works and a meeting as in allowing councilmen but a moderate salary own and interfering with the work other departments. THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS shall be composed of three members, In any event preferably civil engineers. , they shall be men who are known to have executive addition to the duties they would take over such duties as attended to by the Streets and Sewers, Utilities, Franchise, Public Safety and Harbors and Public Grounds Committees of the City Council. They shall also have control of the different» depart- ments, through the heads, as shown on the chart under the division of Board of Public Works. ability and experience in city affairs. In now performed by the Board, are now These departments would be con- stituted similarly to what they are now, with the exception of the En- gineering Department. The Engineer shall have an assistant engineer, who shall be in charge of what is now known as the Streets and Sewers De- partments. He would also perform the duties which are now taken care of by the Utilities Department. THE MUNICIPAL RAILWAY DEPARTMENT eventually important become one of the most departments in the city government. It is becoming gen- erally conceded that the people of Se- attle have about made up their minds that they are going to operate their own street railways, and in order to take care of this work rightly from the start, such a department as the Municipal Railway Department is essential. It should be estab- lished on business principles, and run by men experienced in transportation and operation problems of street rail- ways. The establishment of such a department in time will prevent the possible failure of any municipally railway, and will provide a means of deciding the advisability of extending the operations of municipal roads, will very owned THE CIVIL SERVICE 4] DEPARTMENT ; A department which w need very radical changes is the CIVIL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. This department probably creates fifty per cent of the dissatisfaction in the run- ning of city affairs. The plan above calls for the appointment by the Mayor of three commissioners at a salary of $1,200.00 a year. They shall meet once every week. The routine taken chief exam- shall be secretary, business of the office care of by a iner and an efficiency man appointed by the commission, who shall keep in touch with what the different depart- ments of the city are doing and make a report to the commission at least every three months, and, if necessary, every thirty days. In conclusion, the idea of the chart is to heads of all the de- partments appointed by thé Mayor WITHOUT THE CONFIRMA- TION OF THE COUNCIL, they to be under the control of the Mayor, Public Works accountable to have the through the Board of and he to ‘be strictly the people for the way in which the work is carried on in every depart- Seattle, Wash. ment.
