sens can meet on common ground and discuss civic affairs, is suggested by Mayor Robbins in a communication sent to Charles W.

"If we, by this movement, can establish direct and intelligent contact between those who govern and those who are governed, it will be a step in the direction of removing the too prevalent suspicion that public officials are derelict in duties and Indifferent In matters affecting the general welfare of the community. These suspicions, as I fully believe, are too often created by misunderstanding as to the functions of the city officials, also to the limitations created by state laws. Cites Specific Questions. ."In matters of administration and in the solution of community problems those who are in authority cannot afford to ignore the general welfare of the community, nor are those who govern big enough Intellectually, be they ever so wise, to do without the council of said community; in other words, 'To harness an idea onto any
