I have not attempted to point out numerous minor 

 defects in municipal government in Iowa, but only those 

 of the more noticeable and general nature. Investiga- 

 tion and experience convinces me that what I have sug- 

 gested would be in accord with the trend of the more 

 modern view of municipal affairs, and I am convinced 

 that if these recommendations could be adopted they 

 would lead to a greater degree of interest on the part 

 of the citizen and a much more efficient and economical 

 administration of our city governments.
