City manager plan debated in Stratford and Naugatuck
In Stratford and Naugatuck the 1924 tax picture under the city manager plan shows Stratford with a 20 mill rate and a grand list near 19.18 million while Naugatuck carries 26.25 mills with a 17.32 million list. Stratford's indebtedness tops 2.56 million against Naugatuck's 340,742. Speakers including Warden Whittemore and George W. Andrew assailed the plan, arguing it centralizes power, boosts costs, and could limit voter influence. Various experts warned that the charter shifts authority, with critics labeling it a council plan rather than a true city manager system.
