A NEW IDEA IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

From Virginia comes the novelty of municipal government ad-
ministered by a genera] manager whose prototype is to be found is
every large corporation. This scheme, which is known as the “‘Stauntoi
plan,” after the city where it is in vogue, is a modification of th
commission form of government.

Three years of experimentation have been satisfactory to Staunton,
with a population in excess of 12,000 and one of the most enterprising
communities in Virginia. When, in March, 1908, it was decided tc |
give the genera] manager a chance, it was a gued that councilmer,
having their private affairs, could not reasonably be expected to give
their time and services gratuituously to the community. This, it was
pointed out, led naturally to indifference and to the administration
of affairs by a select few or by contractors interested in public work.

Under the new plan, it is reported that this system of favoritism
is a thing of the past.

In his new book, ‘‘City Government by Commission,’ Clintoi
Rogers Woodruff, secretary of the National Municipal league, refers
at length to the ‘Staunton plan,”’ also quotes John Crosby, presideni
of the Commission council of the municipality. Says Secretary
Woodruff in one place:

“The constitution of Virginia requires cities to maintain their
mayor and council, and in cities of the first class (those having a pop-

CHAPTER I,

FLOTSAM.

All night long the great bell of the
lighthouse, slung to a stout beam pro-

ljecting seaward beneath the outer
platform, had tolled its warning
Ithrough the fog. The monotonous

ticking o fthe clockwork attachment
lthat governed it, the sharp and
livelier click of the occulting hood's
machinery, were the only sounds
yhich alternated with its deep boom.
The tremendous clang sent a thrill
laroug hthe giant column itself and
jpealed away into the murky void
vith a tremolo of profound diminu-
ions.

Overhead, the magnificent lantern,
ts eigbt-ringed circle of flame burning
t full pressure, illumined the drift-
ng vapor with an intensity that seem-

to be born of the sturdy granite
pillar of which it was the fitting dia-
em. Hard and strong externally as

e everlasting rock on which it stood,

replete within with burnished steel

d polished brass, great cylinders
nd powerful pumps,—the lighthouse
hrust its glowing torch beycnd the

ach of the most daring wave. Cold,
our, defiant it looked. Yet its sup-
erhuman eye swept to pierce the
ery heart of the fog, and the fur-
ce-white glare, concentrated ten
housand-fold by the encircling hive of

e dioptric lens, flung far into the
lgloom a silvery cloak of moon-like
paalecty.

At last an irresistible ally sprang
lto the assistance of the unconquer-
able light. About the close of the
middle watch a gentle breeze from the
‘Atlantic followed the tide and swept
‘tthe shivering wraith landward to we
northeast, whilst the first boams of
fa June sun completed the destruction
pt the routed spectre.

So, once more, as on the dawn of
the third day, the waters under the
heaven were gathered into one place

old, it was good.

ulation of 10,000 or more) two branches of the council are required. es the dry land appeared, and be-

‘Therefore,’ Mr. Crosby tells us, ‘Staunton was unable to abolisl
the counci]. and adopt a commission form of government. However,
as the provisions of the code permit the council to establish sucl
offices as may be necessary to conduct properly the city’s affairs,
the idea of a general manager was conceived.’ ”’

In the main, the terms of the ordinance adopted by the Stauntor
council and authorizing the genera] manager, prescribe:

That the two branches of the council shall appoint yearly, ir
July, “‘an officer to be known and designed as ‘genera] manager.’ ”

That the genera) manager shall receive a yearly salary to be fixed
by the council and shal] employ a paid clerk. .

That the general manager ‘‘shal)] devote his entire time to the
duties of his office, and shali have entire charge and contro] of the
executive work of the city in its various departments and have entire
charge and control] of the heads of departments and employees of th«
city. He shall make al] contracts for labor and supplies, and in genera
perform al] of the administrative exetutive work now performed by
the several standing committees of the council, except the finance
ordinance and auditing committees. The general manager shall dis-
charge such duties as many from time to time be required of him
by the council.”

PASSING COMMENT

The proprietor of the Journal is not in favor of Commission govern-
ment. He much prefers the kind that allows a party Mayor to hand
him advertising pap at double rates, and makes the public pay the bill.

The opposition of the proprietor of thé Journal to Commissior
government is a tribute to Commission government.

On the horizon, the turquoise rim

f the sea lay with the sheen of
olded silk against the softer canopy
of the sky. Towards the west a
roup of islands ,to which drifting
anks of mist clung in melting des-
air, were etched in shadows of
reamy purple. Over the nearer sea-
oor the quickly dying vapor spread
hazy pall of opal tints. Across the
ace of the 4.218 glistening bands
aivered in fairy lehts, The siasting
ays of the sun threw broadcast a
\golden mirage and gilded all things
with the dumb gladness cf an English
summer's day.

A man, pacing the narrow gallery
‘beneath the lantern, halted for a mo-
jment to flood his soul afresh with a
beauty made entrancing by the know-
ledge that a few brief moments would
resolve it into maturer and more fa-
jmiliar charms.

{| He was engaged, it is true, in the
[paromantic action of filling his pipe,—
simple thing, beloved alike of poets
jand navvies,—yet his eyes drank in
he mute glory of the scene, and,
tive to the spell of the hour, he
urmured aloud:

“Floating on waves of music and of

light,

Behold the chariot of the Fairy
Queen!

Celestial coursers paw the unyield-
ing air;

Their filmy pennons at her word
they furl,

And stop obedient to the reins of
light.”

The small door beneath the glass
ane was open. The worker within,
usily ceaning an eight-inch burner,
eased for an instant and popped his
ead out.

“Did you hail me?” he inquired.
The ratter-of-fact words awoke the

 

| ¢§ |dreamer. He turned with a pleasant
Qe | pmile.
) | “To be exact, Jim, I did hail some- |

The other man bent his head to
shield a match from a puff of wind,
jthus concealing from his companion
the gleam of amusement in his eyes
‘His mate sniffed the fragrant odor of

Both men wore the uniform: of as.

manner of speech to reveal that one
was a gentleman, born and bred, and
the other a bluff, good-natured, horny-
fhanded A. B., to whom new-laid eggs
jand recently cured fish appealed far

splashes of gray, brown and green
through the purple. The rose flush

wer tinge and the blue of sky and

‘ter was deepening. Twenty miles

ay to the southwest the smoke of

steamer heralded the advent of ap

Atlantic liner, and the last shreds
of white mist were curling forlornly
above the waves.

The presence of the steamship, a
tiny, dull spot on the glowing picture,
Deopled the void with life and banish-
ed poetry with the thinly sheeted
focets of the fog. In a little more
han an hour she would be abreast of

| nat She was the Princess Royal, |
|homeward bound from New York to
Southampton, From her saloon deck
those enthusiasts who had risen early
enough to catch a first glimpse of the
English coast were already scanning
the trimly rugged outlines of the Scll-
ly Isles, and searching with thelr
glasses for the Land’s End and the
Lizard.

In a few hours they would be in
Southampton; that afternoon in Lon-
don—London, the Mecca of the world,
from which, two years ago he flec
with a loathing akin to terror. The
big ship out there, panting and strain-
ing as if she were beginning, not end-
ing, her ocean race of three thousand
miles, was carrying eager hundreds
to the pleasures an (follies of the
| Breat city. Yet he, the man smoking

     

 

and silently staring at the growing
bank of smoke,—a young man, too;
handsome, erect, with the clean,
smooth profile of the aristocrat,—had

turned his back on it all, and sought,
and found, peace here in the gaunt pil:
lar on a lonely rock,

 

Strange, how differently men ard
constituted. And women! Bah! A
hard look came into his eyes. His

For

}mouth set in a stern contempt.
}a while his face bore a steely expres
sion which would have amazed the
man within the lantern, now singing
lustily as he worked, |
| But as the harp of David caused the
| oat spirit to depart from Saul, so did
| the music of the morning chase away
|} the lurking devil of memory which
|}sprang upon the lighthouse-keeper
with the sight of the vessel.

| He smiled again, a trifle bitterly,
| perhaps. Behind him the singer roam
}ed genially:

“Soon we'll be in London Town,
Sing, my lads, yeo ho-o,
And see the King in his golden
crown,
Sing, my lads, yeo ho.”

| The man on the platform seemed to
be aroused from a painful reverie by
the jingle so curiously a propos to his
‘thoughts. He tapped his pipe on the
‘iron railing, and was about to enter
j the lantern—and so to the region of
| sleep beneath—when suddenly his
(wens. trained to an acutenesss not
dreamed of by shore folk, rested on |
some object seemingly distant a mile
or less, and drifting slowly nearer |
with the tide.

At this hour a_ two-knot current |
Swept to the east around and over
| the treacherous reef whose sunken |
| fangs were marked by the lighthouse.
|In calm weather, such as prevailed
| just then, it was difficult enough to
effect a landing at the base of the
rock, but this same smiling water-
}race became an awful, raging, tear-
ing fury when the waves were lash-
ed into a storm.

He pocketed his pipe and stood with
hands clenched on the rail, gazing in-
tently at a white-painted ship's life-
| boat, with a broken mast and a sail
| trailing over the stern. Its color, with
the sun shining on it, no less than the
vaporous eddies fading down to the
surface of the sea, had prevented
him from seeing it earlier. Perhaps
he would not have noticed it at all
were it not for the flashing wings of
several sea-birds which accompanied
the craft in aerial escort.

Even yet a landsman would have
stared insolently in that direction and
declared that there was naught else
in sight save the steamer, whose tall
masts and two black funnels were
now distinctly visible. But the light-
house keeper knew he was not mis-
taken. Here was a boat adrift, for-
jJern, deserted. Its contour told him!
that it was no local craft straying ad-
venturously from island to mainland.
Its unexpected presence, wafted thus
| strangely from ocean wilds, the bro-
|ken spar and tumbled canvas, betok-
| ened an accident, perchance a tragedy.
| “Jim!” he cried. |
| His mate, engaged in shrouding the
| gleaming lenses from the sun's rays,
|came at the call. He was lame—the
|result of a weund received in the
Egyptian campaign; nevertheless, he
| was quick on his feet.

“What do you make of that?” |

 

 

 

 

The sailor required no more than a}
gesture. He shaded his eyes with his
right hand, a mere shipboard trick of)
concentrating vision and brain, for
the rising sun was almost behind him,

“Ship's boat,” he answered, lacont-
cally. “Collision, I expect. There's
| bin no blow to speak of for days. But
they’re gone. Knocked overboard
when she was took aback by a squall,
/ Unless them birds—”
| He spoke in a species of verbal)
| shorthand, but his meaning was cleat,
enough, even to the sentence left un

finished. The craft was under no con
trol, She would drift steadily into
the Bay until the tide turned, wander
In an aimless circle for half an hour
| thereafter, and then, when the ebb
| restored direction and force to the
current, voyage forth again to tha
| fabled realm of Lyonnesse.
For a little while they stood togeth:
pr in silence. Jim suddenly quitted
his companion and came back with
hk glass. He poised it with the prect-
pion of a Bisley marksman and began
to speak again, jerkily:

“Stove in forrard, above the water
iine. Wouldn't live two minutes in aq
bea. Somethin’ lyin’ in the bows,
Dan’t make it out. And there’s a cou‘
ple of cormorants perched on the gun
wale. But she'll pass within two hun.
dred yards on her present course, an’
the tide’ll hold long enough for that.”

The other man looked around. From
that elevated perch, one hundred and
thirty feet above high-water mark, ha|{
could survey a vast area of sea. Ex:
cepting the approaching steamer—
| which would flit past a mile away to)
the south—and a few distant brown
tpecks which betokened a shoal of
Penzance fishing-smacks making the!

 

 

| best of the tide eastward—-there was
hot a sail sight.

| Jim kept his eye glued to the tele
Boope,

| “*Tatn't worth it, cap’n, The sal

“That is what I had in mind.”

“Sharks! This is not the Red Sea.

“Jones won't hear of it.”

“That is precisely what he will do,
within the next minute. Now, don’t
be vexed, Jim. Stand by and sing out

than equal to Leander in a sea like
this.”

Jim, who trusted to the head-keep-
er’s veto,—awed, too, by the reference
to Leander, whom he hazily associat-
ed with Captain Webb,—made no re
joinder.

He fucused the telescope again,
gave a moment's scrutiny to the
steamer, and then reexamined the
boat. The stillness of the morning
was solemn. Beyond the lazy splash
of the sea against the Gulf Rock it-
self, and an occasional heavy surge as
the swell revealed and _ instantly
smothered some dark tooth of the
reef, he heard no sound save the ring
of Stephen Brand's boots on the tron
