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 Govern
ment is an annual asset of $1,000,-
000 to Cleveland citizens, in the
opinion of Fred H. Caley, chairman
of the committee which put over
the recent $10,000,000 bond issue
campaign for civic improvements
in the Ohio city.
The business type of municipal
administration was inaugurated in
Cleveland Jan. 1, 1924, following the
election of councilmen the previous
November. William R. Hopkins, at
torney, identified with some of the
community’s largets enterprises,
notably the Belt Line Railway, was
selected as first city manager and
still holds the post.
Cleveland was one of the first
large cities to adopt the new form.
“We should have had it ten years
wgo,” said Caley, secretary of the
Cleveland Automobile Club, and an
enthusiastic city manager form ad
vocate.
Personnel Improved
‘The new type of government has
worked very satisfactorily in Cleve
land, and brought about a big*im
provement in the personnel of city
administration. As far as city gov
enment is concerned, it has elim
inated corruption. The politicians
were forced to get on the band
wagon and fall in line with the gen
eral 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 for
gotten 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, Ca
ley asserted. The program includes
improvement of streets, sewers,
parks, erection of 330 additional traf
fic signs, a large appropriation for

Streets “White Ways”
Since adoption of the new form,
every main thoroughfare_has been
made a “white way,” resuming in
a decrease in accidents and crime,
and 33 per cent drop in fatal acci
dents, Caley said.
“The lighting system has cut down
crime materially because law break
ers love darkness and hate the spot
light,” Caley said.
