CYRUS PIIAIHIACT ;
Fairfield Avenue, . Corner

Before an audience composed of the
members of the Board of Trade and
their riends,Mayor Frederick W. Eton
nelly of Trenton, NY J., last night ex
plained in detail the advantagesof the
commission form of government. His
speech was Interesting in the 'extreme,
and he had figures to show the econ
omy of the commission form over, tho
present Bridgeport system of govern
ment. . , - -
Since the establishment of the new
form of government " in Galveston,
Texas, after the flood in 1900, the rapid
rehabituatlon of 'the city under the
commission form has- caused ' public
attention in all parts of the coun
try to be directed to it. The plan was
taken up by several of the small ev
Texan cities after its worth had . been
demonstrated in Galveston
It was then that the attention of
other cities, wAere the old form of
government promoted graft and ex
travagance In public affairs, was drawn
to this model form of government he
declared. 1 It was not long te-Vre
several of the largest of the western
and middle west cities adopted com
mission government. It met with
great success wherever accepted, and
its worth was so strongly demonstrat
ed that a number of eastern cities be
gan to give it serious consideration.
Trenton, N. J., which was at that
time noted for waste and extravagance
in municipal affairs, began the serious
consideration of the commission- form
two years before it was finally adopt
ed. Speeches were made for and
against It, and the old time politicians
were finally put to route. .
, ' Meets Modern Conditions.
Mayor Donnelly declared that to his
mind the long felt want that the new
plan has supplied lies in the modern
ization of the city -charter provisions.
Conditions predominating fifty years
ago were now unimportant factors, and
he declared that the system of half a
.entury ago was no . longer able to
grapple with the present situation. He
declared that the American city re
trogresses instead of progresses under
the old , form. A municipal corpora
tion, the same aa a business corpora
tion, must live , in the atmosphere if
the present if it desires to taker its
place in the 'rank of the foremost
American, cities. J,
He declared, that the commission
form met Immediate success in all cit
ies . where it was accepted because it
embodies the modern features which
are lacking In the charters: of many
of the cities of the country. He de
clared that the important ' character
istics of the commission form plan as
adopted in American cities are:
(1) "The placing of the municipal
governing authority in a, small body of
men." . - ' i ' , ' ' '
(2) "The election at large Instead, of
by wards."' . ' ! "
(3) "The power to exercise adminis
trative arid legislative -functions' and
the privilege ' of appointment by the
board."
(4) "The placing of each . oomtmls
sloner In charge of a definite depart
ment and making him responsible to
the people for its proper and intelli
gent management."
(5) "The power given to the. people
to secure honest and efficient govern
ment through the medium of the in
itiative and ' referendum, and the re
call. The intrinsic value of the com
mission government realy . rests on
these cardinal principles."
' One-Alan Control.
The mayor declared that' one of the
essential characteristics, of the com
mission form Is the placing of one man
in absolute control of one department
and making him solely responsible for
Its affairs. , In New Jersey there are
five commissioners appointed as heads
of the following - departments; De
partment of public affairs, department
of revenue and finance, department Of
public safety, department of streets
and public improvements and the de
partment of parks and public "property-
The recall, he declared', was insepar
able with the commission plan. An
official, realizing that his - every act
and recommendation decides his con
tinuance in office, will be forced to
strive for public approbation. v
Under Bridgeport's municipal gov
ernment, it ,is possible for the admin
istration official to use his power to
wards private promotion and favorit
ism instead of f or the good of the
people, and, because of his tenure of
office, it Is impossible to secure his re
moval until its expiration. Under the
new form, the penalty for graft and
dishonesty-is sure-and effectual. Up
on actual, proof of incompetency, dis
satisfied . citizens may resort to the
recall, and' remove a commissioner
notwithstanding that he . may still
have several years of his original
term to serve.
'To sum up briefly,' the advantages
claimed - .were-;. centralization of re
sponsibility upon a small number of
elected officials, non-partisan, elec
tions, abolition of ward lines, economy
of administration, coupled with great
er efficiency, application of business
methods, the '"referendum, initiative,
and recall,- and the simplification of
the system with wide publicity.
The publio subordinate is more ef
ficient under the new form, declared
the speaker, because- the commission
er, realizing that a clerk's inefficiency
would reflect upon him, demands as
much as is demanded in a private cor
poration. Other marks of the effici
ency are shown with the abolition of
salaried boards for the government of
the several departments, the public
transaction of public 'business, and the
businesslike method of - purchasing
public supplies. v
The Trenton commission at the
present time is giving great attention
to new legal sources of revenue. The
tax dodger will no longer escape, for
Trenton Is to employ men to trace
them, with the result that thousands
of dollars which were diverted from
the public treasury will be collected. .
Karris Money For City.
In Trenton, public utility corpora
tions were required to live up to their
franchises. Where the street car ser
vice was poor, it now gives Trenton
the best service in the state of New
Jersey. The water department was
made self-supporting, and the first
year, where it had formerly shown a
loss, it had earned-enough, to pay for
the installation of J 70,000 of sewers
and mains.

In the other departments like im
provements have been made.' .The
commission stopped - ' experimenting
with street pavements and have ac
cepted one standard. " In one year,
with $200,000 of paving let, the city
made a saving of $20,000. The streets
are kept cleaner, at a far smaller cost
than under the old form. One police
Judge and one clerk now does the work
of two judges and two clerks. The
city has changed from a poorly light
ed one, to the best lighted one in the
state. '. t
v i "Page after page," said Mayor Don
nelly in conclusion, "could be" devoted
to our accomplishments and results
under commission government. But
this is . unnecessary. Commission gov
ernment has come to stay,, not only in
Trenton, but in every municipality
that has adopted w it. Convincing
proof of this rests "in the fact that
over three hundred American cities
of all "sizes and descriptions have
forsaken their old system of govern
ment for the commission form," and
in not a single instance has a city,
reverted to its former " antiquated
rule." ' V ' " ; v
After the address by Mayor Don
nelly, the cycle car manufactured by'
the American Cycle company, of this
city was demonstrated. There was a
Trumbull model on display. A lecture
on the merits of this car was given toy
C. M. Fobs of the Trumbull plant. .

BRIDGEPORT, FRIDAY JUNE 12

MAJOR !(i..GMAII
VISITS BRIDGEPORT
Now 85 Years Old Was Formr
erly Prominent Here.
Many of the older residents of
Bridgeport will b& glad to learn that
their compatriot, fellow townsman
and business competitor has again re
turned for a few days . to the haunts
of his younger days. Maor Samuel
C. Kingman, at present retired in
Washington, ' Conn., arrived, yester
day, tp spend a few days with his
grand-daughter, Miss Mary Emily
Buckingham, who will- graduate -with
the class of . 1914, at Bridgeport High
school. .
It was 58 years ago, yesterday, that
Major Kingman first -came to this city
as the pioneer contractor of the
Wheeler and Wilson sewing machine
Company. He had come with it from
Waterbury, where but 7- employes
graced the pay-rolls. He is the-only
surviving contractor of the early
days of the company in Bridgeport,
but bears the distinction of having
been one of the civic forces in the
community at that time. He was a
member of the common council, a police-
commissioner as well as serving
upon the school boards. He early be
came identified with the Masonic Or
der and is a member of Corinthian
lodge. He took an active interest la
military matters and was a crack
shot. The Bethesda mission carries
his name apjng" the founders.
Though 85 years of age. Major
Kingman, is apparently hale and
hearty and will spend several days
here renewing old acquaintances.

New York, June 6 Opening
Quotations were scaled down in all
quarters of the stock market at the
opening today. Trading was light and
there were no. signs of severe pressure
at any point hut the tone was heavy
and afl first speculative leaders fell
back,
Lehigh Valley was once more the.
weak spot, in the list, losing a point
on the first few ' transactions. The
setback was due chiefly to the decline
of American stocks In London. After
trading was well under way. initial
losses were reduced and in some in
stances net gains were achieved.
Closing The market - closed strong
today. The whole list" advanced and
the upturn was associated with ad
vices received in Wall street that the
interstate commerce commission was
hastening work on the text of the
rate decision and might have it com
pleted In a few days'.
Trade reviews were more optimistic,
particularly news from the steel and
textile industries. . -
Bonds were irregular.
