Additions or suggestions were received from the following states: GaliEomia. Minnesota. Indiana. New York. Iowa. Oregon. Kansas. Pennsylvania. Maasachusetta. Texas. Michigan. Wisconsin. The list is shorter than its predecessors, being on a more limited but very definite subject which, however, lent itself readily to classi- fication under the headings, General, Favorable, and Opposed. References on any particular city may be found by means of the index. Most of the references are to periodical and pamphlet literature, but a few more extended discussions may be found in Bradford's "Commission government in American cities," 1911; MacGregor's "City government by commission," 1911; Hamilton's "Government by commission," 1911; and Woodru£E's " City government by com- mission," 1911.
