George F. Willett of Norwood, Mass., gave "a talk on the business manager form of government for towns and cities at a meeting of the Boston Art club recently. He showed how the scientific and efficient business prin ciples of a well-managed and conduct ed corporation can be applied to the administration of public affairs and public expenditures. This system in Norwood, he said, has resulted in a more democratic form of government and brought about a substantial sav ing in the expenditures o the town. The average citizen gets a better knowledge of affairs under that sys tem, he said. Norwood has an unpaid commission of five men. They determine the poli cies of the town, and paid experts un der the leadership of a professional town manager carry them out after "s n7l 21-2x5 ft. $5 5x8 ft. 11.50 8x12 ft. $25 Low shoes, per pair -x~~ *=r"3*5ni**aSr states. -v*_^qrsp'5 r^mW TRUE SMOKEIMISSOUR::::SLOUITSAIN the citizens have passed upon them.
