A COUNTY MANAGER.
The tendency of the times is toward
expertuess in the management of cit*
and county affairs and with the pass
ing of each mouth comes the news that
some town or county has employed a
manager to administer the purely bus
iaess affairs of such governments.
Until lately county government wa
overlooked by students of our politi
cal institutions. This unit of our affairs
was allowed to go along without much
heed or study with the result that tax
es have become more and more bur
densome and upon investigation being
made it was usually found that there
was great wastefulness, lost motio *
and careless manipulation.
No reports in our state archives fur
nished any tangible basis upon whlca
calculations could be made and thu->
there is little to base comparative
data. The state of Minnesota, however
seems to be alive to the importance
of learning Just what county govern
| ment costs and have provided laws b>
which reports are to be made to the
state authorities.
The usual method of governing th.
legislative, as well as the fiscal mat
ure of a county, is to have anywhere
Lem five to fifty men variously call
ed commissioners, supervisors, count)
hoards, county courts etc. All kind
i of matters are acted upon at meeting
held once a month lasting from a few
hours to two or three days. There is
r.'rely any system apparent and often
little intelligence.
Accounts are audited and ordered
paid by acclamation as fast as the
t’erk can read the items; vouchers
arc stuffed in barrels and large con
tracts are awarded without specifica
tions controlling the contractors and
even if such things were provided
there was no competent man appoint
ed to see that they were carried out
It is believed by those who have
keen making a study of county affairs
that such governments are costing the
I eople nearly one half of what the
national government requires. The
total is given at $300,000,000.00 a yea
for the 2,855 counties in the United
States.
It is very obvious that counties are
not securing much for the amount of
taxes raised to maintain them Th
health and sanitary service is notably
defective and needs supervision. The
roads are wastefully constructed and
poorly attended. There are short
school terms, in many instances very
poor education. There is no policing
and a crude administration of justice
l et, more than forty per cent of the
population of the land is dependent
upon counties for the safe guarding
of health, education, security agains
law breakers and for roads to travel
on.
It is little winder then that the peo
ple have been looking for relief and it
Is not. surprising that they see that
some kind of orderly management of
their affairs is needed. The drift is
taward the employment of a compe
tent technical business man who wil'
apply to the duties of supervision over
county affairs a systematic method cf
doing things.
New York has before it a bill to per
mit the people to select a county man
ager who, under well defined limita
tions, will have conferred upon him
the power to select his various assis
tants, superintend and supervise all
contract work and act as purchasing 1
agent for the county. He may be a
non-resident of the county in whic!
be is employed and must possess cer
tain qualifications making certain hi:
fitness for the position which he is
selected to fill.
While we are just now- thinking oi
<ur own county affairs would it no
well for us to study this plan? It is
not so much the men as the system
we have of doing things. Men must tr
paid a sum commensurate with th >
amount of skill and labor required
M e caunot expect county commission
ers to sacrifice their own persona!
business affairs for mere love of coun
try.
