The bulletin points out that the growth of cities has changed conditions to such n extent that In cities like Philadelphia the !?! :! of e'.'.y nnd county administration is too costly and Ineffective to continue. The bulletin says- "Our dual system of city and county administration confuses the public mind, disorders the management of public af fairs nnd checks at the outset many Im provements In local government. The worst part of It Is that the distinction, from the standpoint of the citizen. Is purely Imaginary.
