Morgan, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, told American mayors today that In the future “sharp lines between city, county and state will disappear, and government will become more reg ional, in character." "In addition to geographical units of government, such as cities and counties," he said, "we shall have numerous kinds of functional governments, such as water supply districts, power distribution dis tricts, recreation and park dis tricts and consolidated school dis tricts.’’ "Our nation is becoming a living organism, rather than an aggrega tion of separate Institutions, such as cities, counties and states, and such as government and business,” Morgan declared. "We are dlscov lng that we cannot well continue to divide up our affairs Into such sim ple and distinct units. "Our Industries, especially the utilities, exercise some of the func tions of government. Government cannot be kept out of business ac cording to any simple formula. Cities find some of their traditional work slipping out of- their hands, while other’ new dutles are coming to them. Count if* tend to become obsolete units. Even state bounda ries may be Impediments to pro gress."
