COMMISSION FLAN SAVEDGALVESTON (Gontinued From Page 1) t municipal affairs? 4fhat was the reasoning of the. people of Galveston. And they proceeded directly to attain that end. The large council ws* abolished; the mayor was abolished; the semiindep ndent boards were abolished. The city government was put into the hands of a commission of five, ehqsen from the entire city, not single wards. In this commission was vested all the legislative and executive powers, heretofore exercised by council, mayor and boards. And to fix responsibility, each commission was made the administrative head and responsible for the conduct of, one of the great branches of city government —water, public safety (including police and fire departments), finance, streets, etc. Designated Mayor One of the commissioners was designated mayor. His functions, in this capacity, were only’ those of presiding over commission meetings and reproiiting the city on formal occasions. Otherwise he simply acted as a commissioner. What Galveston really accomplished was the - substitution of a small group, with definitely fixed responsibility, which combined both legislative and executive functions, for the old system of separate and often mutually antagonistic branches.

It abolished the old system of j checks and balances < through rigid • separation of legislative, execuptive | and Judicial powers) so long held j sacred. It did away with the large council, each member of which, representing a was usually more in terested in petty ward politics than j the welfare of the city as a whole It did away with the old type i mayor, who, from the manner of his election, was primarily a politician ‘ and only Incidentally, if ever, an executive; whereas, the growing multiplicity of city affairs called more and more for a trained execu ' tive to head the administration. No Tarty Label It did away with the party labe! and bipartisan politics In city elec- j tlons. It put an end to the constant buck-passing between the different branches of government. And Galveston enjoyed the hes: I government lt had ever experienced j There is, however, one defect in i the commission plan that has be come more and more evident. Its successful operation hinges on j the selection of capable executives i as commissioners. Concentration of responsibiiltj | abolition of the old ward lines, non partisan elections, ore all distinct advances. But the small group in whom is concentrated fho authority and responsibility must be made up of capable executives. And lt Is dis'icuU to get that type through the" medium of popular elections. Good executives don't like to seek public office But despite this slight defect the ; commission plan has been widely ac-f cepted by cities in the United States, i lt has worked. Which is the ulti- ; mate test for any form of government. Nelson will discuss the commls sion manager plan in his next article. AIREDALE CURED . ATM POUND Attendants Achieve Another Record.
