Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commission Plan and Commission-Manager Plan of Municipal Government: An Analytical Study In Galveston, Texas, after the flood of 1900, which fairly wiped out the city, the typical old-style mayor-and-council form of government broke down and was replaced by a com mission of five men appointed by the Governor of Texas. This commission worked swiftly and efficiently, and soon had the municipal government working and at much less annual cost. After the emergency passed, an attempt was made to continue the same government with three members appointed by the governor and two chosen by popular vote, as it was supposed that so simple and powerful a form of organization would be unsafe if manned entirely by elective representatives. A court decision declared the continued appointment of city officers in this way to be unconstitutional, and the entire com mission forthwith became elective. To the surprise of many observers, no demoralization ensued, and through successive elections the changes in personnel have been very slight. Gal veston began to claim that it was the best governed city in the United States, and Houston, Texas, in 1905, copied the Gal veston charter with similar satisfaction. In 1907 Des Moines adopted the Galveston plan, with the addition of the initiative, referendum and recall and non partisan primary. The Des Moines charter was widely copied, largely on the strength of the Des Moines experience, the number of cities adopting this form having increased until, on june l, 1914, there are 327 cities and towns of 2000 population or over which have changed their governments to the newtype. Few changes of importance were made in the Des Moines model for several years (except the preferential ballot added first by Grand Junction, Colo.) until the appearance in 1913 of the city manager, or commission manager modification, which is described in the attached supplementary report of the committee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the commission government movement is often treated by historians as an element of the reform surge of the Progressive Era, this is the first full-scale study of the origins, spread, and decline of the commission idea. Commission government originated in Galveston, Texas, where business leaders conceived the plan as a temporary measure to speed recovery from the great hurricane of 1900. Other cities in Texas and across the nation soon followed; by 1920, about 500 municipalities had adopted the plan in which elected representatives serve as heads of city departments and, collectively, as a policy-making body. Beginning with Galveston and Houston and Des Moines, Iowa, Bradley Robert Rice presents detailed case studies of the earliest commission cities and shows how the plan was developed and modified to suit each community’s needs. He goes on to chronicle the adoption of the commission plan by other cities across the country that strove for “businesslike efficiency” as a reaction against corruption and machine politics in urban government. Most commission charters included a wide-ranging package of municipal reforms, such as the short ballot, at-large representation, nonpartisanship, civil service, and direct legislation. Yet Rice shows that the commission plan generally offered little in the way of social reform to accompany its reorganization of municipal government. Applying a model of innovation diffusion, the author analyzes how and why the new form of city government spread across Progressive Era America. He also thoroughly explores the relationship between the commission plan and other Progressive Era reforms and reports on the reasons for its decline from both a social and a practical perspective. Progressive Cities is described by Professor Bruce M. Stave, editor of the Journal of Urban History, as “a sound piece of work which should make a useful and worthwhile contribution to the existing scholarship on urban reform and should appeal to an audience which cuts across disciplines: history, political science, urban studies and urban planning.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Analysis of the Commission and City-Manager Plans of Municipal Government in the United States The commission form of city government is not a definite and fixed type of municipal organization. With the increase In the number of cities operating under this so-called commission form of government, and with the increase in the number of devia tions and departures from the original Galveston plan found in various cities and communities which are claiming to have a commission plan of government, it is rather important to have clearly in mind at the very outset, what is and what is not com mission government.
