The Coming of the Burgomaster 97 The administrative and executive powers of the city are lodged in a city manager, who is hired by the commission from any place in the countr}', is under its supervisory control, and holds office at its pleasure. This "controlled ...manager, " as Mr. Richard S. Child has aptly called him, controls the remaining city em- ployees, subject to adequate civil-service provi- sions. He is to the elective council what the ordinary American school superintendent is to the elective school board. As an important modification of the commis- sion government, the commission-manager plan has aroused an active interest among charter reformers. The new plan savors sufficiently of the characteristics of the straight commission plan to commend it to those who have been im- pressed with the record of that system; and it contains enough added improvements to interest those who have thought the Des Moines plan to be an inadequate makeshift.
