City Manager Plan in Kansas.

Kansas is said? to have more cities with a commission form of government than any other state, and it also has three cities where the city manager plan of government is in successful ' operation. One of the latter is McCracken, a little city in the western edge of Rush county, with a population of only 371 persons. It adopted the commission-manager* form of city government and on May 7 the commissioners took over the city affairs. The first act was to elect Leonard L, Ryan of McCracken as city manager. He will have completer* charge of all the business affairs of the city.—Chrto tian Science Monitor.
