Advance at this time. The address fid lows : 'There has been a general awakening all over thj country to tin fait that a change in our iiuniiiiial form of govei iiinent is necessary, and various forms of organization have hen reconi mended and adopted in tlill'erent pails of ilic country, but all are trending inward a more ceniraliz ed power. The organization be low the executive, varies in xari ous communities in accordance with the ideas and the conditions existing, and as to whether or not the sple themselves are ready for radical changes. The form of ihe lavtou organization is interest in- because the nresi dent of i he charter commission was Mr. Patterson, president of the National rash Register Com jinny . "Kadi of the live departments under the executive in layton is headed by a director and each of these directors is appointed by Ihe city manager, being: iMrector of safely, which covers police, tire weights and measures; director of service, who has t -barge f the water works, engineering, me construction, repairing and elean ing of streets and sewers, Ihe col lection .if garbage and ashes, and the general supervision of all nb lie utilities. The director of ti nance has under him the treas urer. the accouutant. and the purchasinjj agent. The di rector of welfare lias all correct, ional institutions, hospitals, char ities. parks playground, recrea tions, relief and social betterment and all community social features.

"The directorship of safety has never been filled as we were not able to find the right man and the city manager is now filling Unit position. "Thes.- directors v, ith the city manager, form the staff and they meet every day for an hour and go over the important ipiestions in each department, the same as would be done in a corporation. If there is a division of ideas in these sialf meetings, n vote is taken an,l while this particular function is not called lor in the charter it centralizes the entire organization. "Kach director is responsible for his own department. Kach director makes his own apHiinl meats, subject to the approval of the city manager, and the ipies tion of appointment is taken up at these staff meetings. The commissioners together with' the t ity nanager and the director of finance as secretary, form the sinking fund trusiees. This brings all of the finances of 'in- goveriecn: iusid,- nl (lie ,eii tral organizations. ' I think everyone w ill agre that there has been an awaken ing all over the eountrv to the in efficiency of the old form of inn nicipal goveinient and we our selves, the voters, make the con ditions what they are. We may be satisfied at what is being ae 'onndislietl, but as a matter of fact we are responsible. We hav a)H)nVef innumerable laws, and stalutes to be passed which sur j round municipal work with a not-work of red tae making pro gross and efficiency impossible.
