Town Manager
Pian Is Success
Continued from page 1)
To get first hand information
I first visited the office of the mu
nicipnl manager, .1. B. Wright,
who is paid $3,600 a year for his
job and who, according to a form
er town treasurer, save.s his sal
ary four or five times a year by
his eiricient management. Mr.
Wright is no stranger to St Johns-bui-y
as the Commercial Club had
him as one of their speakers two
winters ago when he explalned the
working of the -system, which at
that time was under fire owing to
li.ck of Kupport from some mem
bers of the board who hired him.
Mr. Wright is a tireless worker, à
practical engineer and an expert
accountant. He has but one aim in
view and that is to give the taxpay
ers the most for their money and
to eliminate waste and duplication
in every department. This is the
smellest town he ever managed
and he is leaving next week to De
corno a consulting engineer along
town management line.s and the
work will be carried on by Roy M.
Wilromb, a former Lyndon boy,
who has been the town and village
treasurer for the past few years
as well as a successful mcrchant.
When the town and village start
eli this form of government there
was a floating debt in the town of
$170,00(1, the accumulation of
years of bills in arrears. This was
soon remedied by issuing a five
ler cent bond issue of $120,000 and
at the end of the town's last fiscal
year the debt was redueed $,.9,2r.i.
1T and there was cash on hand of
.H'!,8;!t.80 much of which was
diawing interest.
The readers of the Caledonian
liecord have been informed as to
the duties of a municipal manager
and Mr. Wright's work is specifi
cally prescribed by the Vermont
Statutes. He is highway commis
sioner, overseer of the poor, the
purchasing agent and has charge
of the accounting. Of course he
cannot do ali .'this work himself
urjd the roads are in charge of a
! mo.-t competent engineer and the
, bookkeeping is handled by assist
ants. Now as to results. Before
the new system was adopted the
streets of the town and village
I were as bad as any place in Ver
mont. Today the town and village
have a motorized highway depart
ment that take care of 18.4 miles
, of state road and 120 miles of oth
! er roads in the town and 20 miles
' in the village. The area of Street
' pavement has been more than
doubled since the pian was adopt
ed and the municipality does its
own paving and concrete work.
i Four concrete bridges costing
j $1,200 each have been built replac-
ing temporary structures that had
to he continually patched up. The
motorized highway department
consists of a steam roller, two
tiactors, two Dodge tmcks, a
White truck, an Indiana truck, a
Ford truck, a Dodge roadster 'ind
a stone crusher. These have ali
btcn jiaid for and when the vil
lage uses them the expense is
charged to the village and when
the town uses any of them the ex
pense is charged to the town.
Springfield's town tax of $2.81
is rnade up as follows:
Town school
Town
Special highway
Highway
Stato tax
State school
State highway
$i.:;o
.72
.07
.20
.10
.10
.05
$2.84
The village tax is 75 ccnts on the
dollar.
Each year the taxes have been
redueed and the voters have the
satisfaction of seeing that they are
getting more for their money as
and three boards let the municipal
manaegr do ali the work and con
stantly consult him as to jiresent
and future )lans. Besides getting
more l'or the dollar the taxpayers
have noticeli a reduction of 20
ccnts on the village tax and eight
ccnts on the town tax. While this
is not a large reduction it is much
moie appreciated than an advance.
Mr. Wright says that 2S." cities
and towns in the United States
are now under this forni of govern
ment or some of its moditìcations
and the movoment is rapidly
spieading. A gl'oup of some 20
rcsidents of the town of Hartford
bave recently visited Springfield
with a view to having a municipal
manager for the villages of Hart
ford, Wilder and White River
Junction. Il the three boards that
the law provides shall have charge
ot town and village aitairs are in
harmony with the pian and back
up their manager the system will
be an unualified success, says Mr.
Wright, in any community. And in
a succeeding article I shall give
similar endorsements from present
and former town oll'icials, manu
farturors professional mcn and the
stnall taxpayer.
