The rec d for the links le 3&V made " COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT The laws of this state, authorizing cities io adopt the commission form of government make different provisions fm cities of different sizes. As the city of Anderson had fewer than 10,000 inhabitants fn toto by the government census, the provisions affecting towns of from 4,ooo to 10,000 in habitants are the only ones.that would apply to this citv, should it adopt the$?>mmission forpi of ?oyen! ment. The various steps to betaken to put the matter be fore the people in towns of this, size are as follows: ist,.

Thereupon a special registration of the qualified electors is ordered. ira. If a majority of thc votes cast are favorable to the commission form of government, the mayor certifies this to the Secretary of State and calls a special election for a mayor and two councilmen, this election to be held not later thar, six weeks thereafter. The town is divided into vard? for the election of these councilmen, but all of the electors of the whole city vote for mayor and two councilmen. A primary election" may be held two weeks before this general election. _ The mayor will receive a salary of $1,ooo per year and the councilmen S5oo each. They are each' elected for a term of four years. A majority of this council of three is. necessary and sufficient to pass "any ordinance or take any action, the executive and administrative powers and du ties of the city shall be divided'Vy council among three de partments, each member to be superintendent of one de partment. Council has the righjj to establish 6r abolish any office or position they may de?m necessary, and fix salaries for the same. Council shall rftett at least once a month, and the meeting shall* be open to fhei public. . , ^Seyeri.l unusal and important provisions apply to the city government when conducted according to this commis sion plan. For instance, no franchise snail be granted to any corporation for a public utility, unless approved bv the majority vote of the electors of the town voting at a special election to be called for this purpose. Also no officer or employee of the city shall be inter ested in tiny contract or job for wirk or materials to be . furnished, or be performed for the city, or for any company operating any municipal or public utility, such' as streets cars, gas, telephone, water, lights, etc. Heavy fines are pro vided for violation of this section. If 20 per cent, of the electors petition for an election for such purpose, and a majority vote therefor, the mayor or either councilman, or all, can be reealie'df,and retired at any time; rind new officers el?c?ed in tti'??ir stead at tue same election.
