Download or read book The Commission Plan and Commission Manager Plan of Municipal Government written by National Municipal League and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commission Plan and Commission-Manager Plan of Municipal Government: An Analytical Study In Galveston, Texas, after the flood of 1900, which fairly wiped out the city, the typical old-style mayor-and-council form of government broke down and was replaced by a com mission of five men appointed by the Governor of Texas. This commission worked swiftly and efficiently, and soon had the municipal government working and at much less annual cost. After the emergency passed, an attempt was made to continue the same government with three members appointed by the governor and two chosen by popular vote, as it was supposed that so simple and powerful a form of organization would be unsafe if manned entirely by elective representatives. A court decision declared the continued appointment of city officers in this way to be unconstitutional, and the entire com mission forthwith became elective. To the surprise of many observers, no demoralization ensued, and through successive elections the changes in personnel have been very slight. Gal veston began to claim that it was the best governed city in the United States, and Houston, Texas, in 1905, copied the Gal veston charter with similar satisfaction. In 1907 Des Moines adopted the Galveston plan, with the addition of the initiative, referendum and recall and non partisan primary. The Des Moines charter was widely copied, largely on the strength of the Des Moines experience, the number of cities adopting this form having increased until, on june l, 1914, there are 327 cities and towns of 2000 population or over which have changed their governments to the newtype. Few changes of importance were made in the Des Moines model for several years (except the preferential ballot added first by Grand Junction, Colo.) until the appearance in 1913 of the city manager, or commission manager modification, which is described in the attached supplementary report of the committee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago's Way Out: The City Manager Plan For many long years, Chicago and Cook County have been governed in the interests of political ma chines. Public services have been absurdly and at times criminally expensive, and an outrageous con dition of governmental affairs has been disclosed in spectacular scandals revealing a dangerous degree of dishonesty and mismanagement. With hundreds of millions of dollars controlled by our local govern ment and millions of Chicagoans dependent on es sentigl services, political misgovernment becomes intolerable. Drastic reorganization of the city government is necessary both as an end in itself and as the first step toward improving affairs in Cook County.
