Reteareh ; Bureau Favorably
Compare Its Werk With That
of Fermer System
RESPONSIBILITY CENTERED
-
Thn present City Council, rt one
chamber body created by tlie Wood
ward charter, functions better than the
two-chamber Councils It replaced, the
B"au of Municipal Research believes.
That conclusion was reached by com-
routine legislation with the record of
5iiu eju councils,, cnoesing rer compari
son periods when conditions were some
what analogous.
Although the change has brought bet
terment, there is still room for im im
urevement. the bureau says. In the
matter of public, Improvements, the bu
rau ut i,.k i. .tin ... ..:
-- -- u.i. n av.ii iuu great n
tendency . te rcsprct the demands of
Hiuviucmi interests, and te assign
quotas te wards, rather than te regard
mi'?"8 ?fJhe cllY as " whole.
The Research- Bureau hints at n time
when ward lines will be abolished,
when the city legislators will be elected
by the yetcra of the city at laree and
when the voters themselves will de
their share by intelligent use of the
ballet.
.. An attempt te compare the new with
the old legislative system by means
of large, outstanding measures Is In
many ways the least accurate, accord
ing te the Research Bureau. Big Is
Mies In different administrations are
bard te compare, and changes ln public
psychology and readjustments in politi
cal relations exert a vast Influence. The
bureau's statement centinues:
"The smaller, number of members, and
the fact that acUen need be taken by
only one body Instead of two, arc fun
damental reasons why our mere modern

Thors are ether important reasons.
Meetings are held mere frequently be
cause the convenience of fewer people
need be consulted. Special meetings can
be called quickly for the same reason.

his 50 horse-power TSeauty Wew $1465
This Six-44 Paige at only $1465 has
many points which have builtMts popu
larity. But think first of its beauty. If
you place all the cars in this price class
side by side, you will find your eye lin
gers lovingly en the car named Paige,
because beauty has always been a lead
ing characteristic of Paige cars.
Yet Power, tee, is just as evident.
Find, if you can, another car of 119-inch
wheel base, weighing about 2900
pounds; which has 249 cubic inches
piston displacement about 50 horse
power. This is 1 horsepower per 100
pounds of weight. It means a lively
cara rugged puller.
Se there are two things you can be
sure of in this Paige Six-44 appear
ance you can be proud of power out of
the ordinary. One we can demonstrate
te your eye; the ether you can prove te
yourself in the most fascinating mo
ments you have spent behind a steering
wheel.
It is confusing, we knew, te hear of
se many cars around $1500. It is hard
te figure out which is best. The Paige
you knew has a geed reputation. It
costs little te run and maintain. Its
price has recently been reduced te
$1465. Last year it was $1925. New it
has cord tires and ether improvements.
Make a safe decision based en these
things you knew about.

he stands behind your Paige
These who buy the Paige today get net only a greater value but a service behind the
car which is mere comprehensive than ever before. In step with the tremendous popular
ity of Paige Cars our new six-story service
station was erected, equipped and manned te
justify in every way the faith which the
motorists have placed in the Paige. Nothing
which would contribute te the satisfaction
and convenience of the owner was overlook
ed. Frem the slightest adjustment te a com
plete overhauling, Paige experts and modern
equipment are here te give the promptest and
most efficient attention. Fer the man in a
hurry our quick service department was or
ganized and has proven a real convenience.
But after all is said and done, the only
way te appreciate just hew far we have gene
te keep faith with the Paige Owner is te pay
a visit te our new service station at 16th and
Vine Sts.
