This is well. It is probably bet ter that the people of the" city ?enerr ally have a voice in"' the framing of the plan at this stage to the end that there' may be a: more- nearly unani mous vote, for the commission form at the election, which without a doubt will be ordered by the ' Legislature, either at the . recommendation "of the board of aldermen after the - plan is agreed upon by the people or at the petition of the voters of the city. : . There is no doubt about the fact that sentiment has increased . rapidly for the .commission form during 're cent weeks. It has been so clearly shown that the plan has; worked well in other cities,, where tax' rates have been reduced and more efficient, more open and more ; satisfactory5 ' govern v ment has resulted, that people who were at first inclined to look with dis favor upon the plan have been inter ested enough to study it. And study ing it they have realized its . vast superiority in every respect over the antequated, cumbersome , and waste ful system ' now in" operation. Some politician has stated that the "work ing" people of the city are opposed to : the commission form. -From the - best Information The Chronicle ' can secure' the "working!, people, who by the '"way comprise' by far the 5Targer majority of the people of the live city of Charlotte, are n favor of the c?m-. mission form by a very safe majority. It Is equally certain that the business men of the city, "working men, too, are in favor of it -'foe,-because of their training; they most readily : of alt see th,e advantage j of putting V business methods into operation in the admin- - istration of the municipal govern ment. T ' "- : " ' '::J; : ' The expert who audited the books of the several departments of the city government declares that ? . 1 0,0 0 0 a year .could; be saved in clerical work, etc., in the; administrative department under a simpler form of government. Put this $10,000 is not a circumstance to what would be saved to the city 'l through Increased efficiency in" the street, health and other departments of the city. The Chronicle. has said, and it confidently reiterates the state ment, that the efficiency of the sev eral departments, of "the 'city govern-, ment could be increased, from' 25 i to. 50 per cent under a business form of government. ' where three men ac countable directly to the people at any time were responsible for the amount and! quality of work done. This means that the taxpayers of the -city, would be retting full value for their money. Instead of 60 to .75 per cent of the full value. It means that they would haye better streets and sidewalks out side of the permanently Improved dis tricts. It means that the : tax-payer Would get a square. -deal. ': ' .

On this street the grading,and paving of the sidewalks have served to. keep the street covered "with dirt for the nast three' or fou weeks, but it - was in X bad shape before- and : it would be in much better shape now if the city - would enforce the: ordi nance forbidding the hauling, of . dirt over improved streets in wagons with loose plank ooitoms. XiC:'' VOne of the supposed advantages of paved streets is the .absence : of .dust. This is not the case in Charlotte, how ever,' under.. .'present ; circumstances. With the exception of a few. blocks, of street in the ; center of i the - city .. the streets are seldom if ever-flushed and even uptown they are in a horrible. shape nlno-tenths tf the time.- , Who ia responsible ? To whom, can a citizen appeal for relief knSwtng that his appeal will be given, consid eration ?

Under the commission form 16 6 blocks of the same kind of street, requiring the same sort of , repairing.' were put in good shape for $17.42 6 Her,e is shown an increase. in efficien cy ,such- as. would i be x duplicated in Charlotte under the commission forni of government.- People in Charlotte wbo, live on 'streets that are some times impassable : and walk on: side walks that are - covered with an inch or two or mud would have about four ' chance of improvements under a - commission form of government jto , oner Under the present circumstances, assuming that the increase In efflci ' ency here i equal to that at'.Colum- 5n; the day when'' Jlliteraey la en tirely wiped out will.

Too few people realise the value and the whole someness of the sweet potato.
