Book Description

Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Municipal Government of the City of Rochester, N. H: For the Financial Year 1895 Public opinion holds him responsible for the condition of our streets, and still he has no voice in the selection of a street commissioner or his assistants. He cannot even select the committees of the council. His hands are tied, and he is in reality a mere figure-head. If he is to be held responsible for the executive department of our city government he should, subject to your approval, have the appointment of the officers who are to act with him. Some member of the city council should, in my judgment, preside over the body, while the mayor should be in fact, as well as in name, a co-ordinate branch of the city government and pass upon all measures which come before him from the council. As is the custom, I will call your attention to the various departments and make such suggestions as may occur to me.
