With Cincinnati as their model, several American cities have already adopted the city managership. In each case it has meant increased service for the citizens; particularly it has lowered tax rates. In the green land of Eire cities like Dublin, Cork, and Limerick have profited by this form of government. With everything in its favor, Cambridge voters should give careful, consideration to the referendum which now, by the grace of the Plan E Committee, will be placed upon the November ballot.

But Dr. Fabing's research marked the green as a treacherous come-on, since often just when a motorist steps on the accelerator the green light changes to red, so that his right foot must jump for the brake. Soon most motorists develop what Dr. Fabing calls an "anxiety...
...willing to suggest abolition of traffic lights, which most safety experts agree are necessary in heavy traffic, Dr. Fabing called attention to several patented, non-confusing systems. His recommendation: a clock-dial light with a rotating hand swinging from a green section at the top to a yellow caution light at the quarter-hour position, to a red section at the bottom, to another yellow caution light at the three-quarter-hour position- the hand always showing by its position how much green or red time remains...
