T1VE TO GOVERNMF v’f Cf
MUNICIPALITIES
Municipal government in cities of
the United States over 30.000 -n
population 's the subje’t of a re
port which has been mari^ public
recently by the census oureau.
The report shows that the com
mission form of government is
growing in popularity among the ci
ties of the United States; ihat out
of the 204 cities over 30,000 in pop
ulation, eigty-two have adopted this
form of government. Buffalo, N.
Y., whose population is about 460,
000 is the largest city now having
commission torm of government.
New Orleans is second with 365,000
people; Washingto, D. C., is third,
with about 350,000; Portland, Ore.,
is fourth, with 260,000, and Denver,
Colo., is fifth, with 250,000.
In these cities the commissions
range in size from three to seven
members. Those in St. Paul, Min.,
and Omaha, Neb., have seven mem
bers each; Those in San Diego, Cal.,
and Fort Worth, Texas, six each;
and that in Huntington, W. Va.,
four. All other commissions are
composed of either three or five
members, the great majority having
five. The salaries paid municipal
commissioners range from $500 a
year in Jackson, Mich., and Spring
field, Ohio, tc $7,00 a year in tt r
mingham, Ala., an dtheir terms of
office vary from one to four years.
Dayton, Ohio, has a commission
of five members, which decides mat
ters of general policy, and a “city
manager,” appointed by the com
mission, who looks after the admin
istrative work. The presiding of
ficer of the commision receives
$1,800 per annum, the other mem
bers $1,200, and the city manager
$12,500.
The larger cities still cling to the
old form of govememnt by mayor
and council. In all 123 cities of
over 30,000 including all having
more than 400,000 inhabitants, are
governed in this manner. The
mayor’s salaries range from $100
per annum in Flint, Mich., to $15,000
i3 New York City, and their terms
of office from one to four years.
A total of 51,045 police offici-Js
patrolmen, detectives and civilian
employees are engaged in maintain
ing peace and order in the 204 cities
Of this total, 5,586 are officers ex
clusive of detectives, 34,320 are pat
rolmen, 3,303 are detectives and
3,015 are civilian employes. Of
the patrolmen, 31,294 are unmount
ed and 1,804 are mounted on horses,
708 on motorcycles and 514 on bi
cycles. Park policemen number
248, polimemen detailed at muni
cipal buildings and courts, 309.
New York has 526 mounted pol
icemen, Philadelphia 435 and Chi
cago 186. No other city except
Washington, D. C., has as many as
1100. In New York City 135 of the
mounted police ride bicycles, but
Chicago and Philadelphia rely en
tirely upon the horse and the motor
cycle. Washington, D. C., has six
ty-one bicycle policemen—far more
than any other city except New
