Overview

“City Manager in Dayton” offers a detailed examination of Dayton, Ohio's transition to a commission-manager form of government between 1914 and 1917. Authored by Walter Matscheck, Don Conger Sowers, and Chester E. Rightor, the book provides a comparative analysis of this new system against the preceding mayor-council plan from 1910 to 1913. This study delves into the practical implications and outcomes of adopting a city manager system, offering insights into the efficiency, accountability, and overall effectiveness of municipal governance. It is a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the evolution of urban administration and the reform movements of the early 20th century. The book provides a case study in municipal reform, documenting Daytonâ€(TM)s experience and offering lessons applicable to other cities considering similar changes.
