Siz,—In my last, 1 got so far as the election of a Council of five members. Having taken their seats, these five choose from their number one man to become President of their body, or Executive of the City Government, he holding the same power as held by the ‘Mayor at present. Lf deemed desirable, civic business can then be divided into departments and each depart- ment placed under the direct control of one man, who would be responsible to the appointing authority—the President. Tor) instance, the Fire and Police might be thrown into one departarent, under the supervisio: of “the Polica Commissioner; Taxes and poy under the Tax Com- id r iblic Works (which would include ail thit gs per! aining to streets and side-walke, hightian, building, etc., etc.) under the City Works Commissioner. To latter oftica might be added, when the supervision of a proper ‘* Build-

missioner; &

this secured, ing Law

The President of the Council should have the absolute-power of appointment or re- moval of these oflicials who would thus be directly responsible to him, while he, in turn, would be directly responsible to ‘‘the people” for his appointees. We might reasonably hope that any Executive thus responsibie, would give due care and thought to the selection of his men, as bb. and not they would be held to answer by the citizens for their actions. Wo should thus avoid that hindrance to all good gov- ernment divided responsibility. We wonld know exactly where the responsibility rest ed and how to adjust it when required. By this method we should a'so avoid a conflict of authority, as one man, being responsible for his department and wth removal at pleasure hangicg over his head, would be more likely to ‘toe the mark” and endeavor to render bis department eflicient; sinecures and hangers on would be lopped off and economy secured. A number of onr many city ofticials might have to look for some- thing elsa to do, but the City asa whole could stand that. Other changes might follow in due course, but those I have pointed out will suffice for the present being intended merely for a “‘feeler” upon which I should like to have an expression of public opinion. Cannot some of your correspondents take the subject up and let us have the benefit of their views.

Yours, etc., PROGRESSIST.
