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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Analysis of the Commission and City-Manager Plans of Municipal Government in the United States The commission form of city government is not a definite and fixed type of municipal organization. With the increase In the number of cities operating under this so-called commission form of government, and with the increase in the number of devia tions and departures from the original Galveston plan found in various cities and communities which are claiming to have a commission plan of government, it is rather important to have clearly in mind at the very outset, what is and what is not com mission government.
