MANAGER PLAN FREES CITY OF GRAFTJIASTE Board of Trade Hears Talk on Cincinnati by Charles Taft. Striking improvements inaugurated by the city manager form of government at Cincinnati, Ohio, were discussed by Charles P. Taft, 11, Hamilton County prosecutor, Thursday night before the Indianapolis Board of Trade. “Changes brought about by the city manager plan have brought the city from a state of unrest, mismanagement and graft to a more efficient administration of affairs, with greater justice and satisfaction for all concerned,” said the exPresident’s son. Advises City Follow Suit "Prom my experience with the movement in Cincinnati I would advise Indianapolis to adopt the elec-tion-at-large of a small council with proportionate representation and with a city manager together with a home rule charter,” he said “Probably one of the outstandiir things about the change in fonr was that only about 400 employe; of the 4,000 were fired or resigned. This fact is forceful proof that the new government brought about improved conditions with the same staff.

“The physical condition of city hall was improved, the building converted from a disgraceful structure to a place fit to conduct the city’s business. The new government took an inventory of the city’s property and found it had large amounts of property, even real estate that it did not know it possessed. The excess property was sold and the money used to maintain other properties. Thousands Saved “Thousands of dollars were saved by the methods employed by the new management. Another tremendous improvement was the changes in working attitude of the employes. It has been said that under the new government employes whistle while they work, but before they just whistled.” E. Clifford Barrett, Board -of Trade president, made the annual report of activities. Mayor L. Ert Slack spoke. Eighteen candidates for the Legislature were guests of the board.

ASSURE BUS SAFETY Reckless, Discourteous Drivero Face Dismissal. Superintendent James P. Trettou of the Indianapolis Street Railway toda yappealed to the public to cooperate in checking any recklessness or disobedience of bus operators. • “There is absolutely no excuse for discourtesy on the part of a bus operator to patrons, pedestrians or motorists,” said Tretton, “and if any of our operators are guilty of discourtesy or reckless driving, we want to know it. “The public will confer a favor not only on the management, but also on the bus operators who take pride in their work by reporting to this office any incidents in which they feel the bus operators have not conducted themselves properly. Per sonal investigation will be made of each instance reported.” Tretton declared that the merging of the street railway and Peoples Motor Coach Company bus lines had improved service and resulted in fewer complaints on bus operators. OPEN SNOWBOUND ROAD AFTER 2 MONTHS WORK By NEA Service BEND, Ore., June B.—After two months of slow, toilsome work, a big rotary plow has finally opened up to traffic one of the highest roads in the Pacific northwest—the famous McKenzie Pass Highway over the mile-high Three Sisters summit. It took all this time to clear twenty miles of road, snowed under to a depth of twenty-two feet in many places, yet it would have been almost impossible to achieve even this were it not for the fact that the snow banks were dynamited in advance of the plow. The mountain highway connecting eastern and western Oregon, which are geographically different, was completed two year ago. It is usually blocked by snow from November until June. The plow shortened this period by a few weeks.
