TWO VIEWS ON FORMS OF CITY GOVERNMENT
Wakefield on October 25 1928 voters hear two arguments for city government. Aldermanic form would divide wards and elect one alderman and supervisor per ward each year with city clerk and treasurer elected citywide. Proponents claim increased voter voice and limits on mayoral power, while critic argues current commission form lacks public accounting and risks overspending.
