CLEVELAND FINDS CITY MANAGER IS VALUABLE ASSET Auto Club Man Claims New Government Form Worth $1,000,000 Annually. Bv Times Soecial CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11.— The city manager form of Government is an annual asset of $1,000,000 to Cleveland citizens, in the opinion of Fred H.

As far as city govenment is concerned, it has eliminated corruption. The politicians were forced to get on the band wagon and fall in line with the general program of things. “Mark Hanna once said the best I committee is a committee of three, with two dead members. That is | the point to the city manager plan I —it has individual resposnbility from the city manager himself down to the lowest executive. “The well known lack of interest among the more substantial type of residents is passing. Folks have forgotten the ‘why bother to vote’ idea and take an interest in what is go-, ing on because their confidence has been restored.” Caley paid high complimen to the administration of Hopkins as the head of the city corporation. Citizens voted for the $10,000,000 bond issue for civic improvements i because they knew it would (not be spent by the old-time politicians, Caley asserted.
