"Any feel can find fault with what exists, but the Bureau aims te prescribe practical remedies." Mcmi Cel. Lewis H. Van Dusen, Civil Service Commissioner, says "There is no question but that the work being done by the Bureau of Municipal Research of Philadelphia demonstrates its great helpfulness in protecting the interest of the taxpayer. The Bureau renders valuable assistance te our Municipal Departments here in Philadelphia." Xhj.ACj V Other men prominent in civic work and activities are no less emphatic in their praise. Dr. William Draper Lewis says "I am very glad you are going te give the people of Philadelphia the opportunity of knowing the geed work which the Bureau of Municipal Research 1b doing. The director and staff are always willing te help any group of citizens desiring te study municipal conditions, or anxious te express in proper form constructive remedies. "As a member of 'the Charter Committee I came in personal contact with their work. A believe it is the opinion of every member of that Committee, as it is mine, that without their assistance our present , charter would net be nearly se geed as it is. "As Secretary of the Commission en the Amendment and Revision of the State Constitution, I can testify that their suggestions in regard te municipal and financial matters have received the careful considera tion of the Commissioners and have proved most helpful te the Com mission. In short, the Bureau has long passed the experimental stage. It has proved by practical work of the most important kind its value te the citizens of Philadelphia." Hen. Ernest L. Tustin, Welfare Director, says "The Bureau of Municipal Research has been of a great deal of assistance te the Director of the Department of Public Welfare and he ' is in constant communication with them, and they present him with the highest and best ideals along welfare lines, and it gives him great pleasure indeed te bear testimony te their worth and efficiency." President Judge Chai'les L. Brown says Tt, T .r tit..j-; .1 -n i. ... -v K-'kukXv f-L Merris L. Coeke says "Any one familiar with the history and work of the Bureau of Municipal Research must marvel at Its accomplishment. In spite of limited financial resources, its modest staff has ever since its organiza tion formulated one constructive program after another. Of course, for a great deal of what it does some no else gets the credit simply because it has powers of recommendation and none of administration, and considerations both of taste and tact suggest that it keep in the back ground. But, as a former official and as a citizen always interested in municipal inquiries, I can testify te the devotion, ability and great usefulness of this truly public agency. Under its present leadership it has a special power te aid the city. That such an agency should have te appeal for funds is one of the weaknesses of our system. But the funds must be forthcoming because the Bureau's great work must be kept going." lWenT y CnffVTUmm 'The Rlirpmi nf ATlinfrinnl PncnnvVi rnnrlore lnnafimnMa caMrtA - - -..,' uvawu .tlXkJ 'MVU1.11IICII OU&VIVU iJ the community and te the individual tax-paying citizen in keeping him ndvised as te the progress of municipal government in Philadelphia and elsewhere, se that he will have an intelligent knowledge of what the government is actually accomplishing here.
