Managerial Government Wide Adoption of Scheme Envisioned
The council manager plan is spreading rapidly with 986 communities in the United States and Canada adopting it, 345 in five years. Clarence E. Ridley of the International City Managers Association predicts it may reach 1,000,000 residents by late 1950s. The system replaces mayor council and commission forms, with voters electing a non partisan council that hires a city manager to run day to day operations. The first use of the title manager appeared in Staunton, Virginia in 1908 and Sumter, South Carolina adopted the system in 1912.
