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.
