"Good Government Association"

Mr. R. B. Stone '98 addressed the Political Club in the Randolph Hall Breakfast Room, yesterday evening, on "The Work of the Good Government Association."

After a short outline of the city government of Boston, Mr. Stone described the formation of the Good Government Association, which arose from the need of the investigation of the records of candidates for the City Council. To accomplish this, the Association, by means of volunteer investigators, traces carefully the records of all candidates, and sends printed circulars describing them to the voters. It has had an increasing success, last year placing the four men recommended for aldermen at the top of the poll.

In addition to its work in recommending candidates, the association conducts investigations into the actual administration of affairs and was the originator of the inquiry into the construction of the Stony Brook sewer, in which it proved that fifty per cent of the cost was wasted.

Mr. Stone, in closing, urged his hearers to help the association as investigators. All students in the University who wish to do this work should send their names to the Good Government Association, 11 Pemberton square, Boston.
