THE SOO CHANGES ITS GOVERNMENT


Dissatisfied with the old ward and aldermanic system under which the city 
government had functioned from the eighties, the electors of Sault Ste. Marie, 
Michigan, voted in 1917 for a new charter and a change to government by 
commission.

A Charter Commission was appointed of the following representative citizens: 
Francis T. McDonald, chairman; A.J. Eaton, clerk; Frank P. Sullivan, John P. 
Connolly, Wm. M. Snell, Edward Stevens, Goe. P. McCallum, and J.L. Lipsett. 
These gentlemen drew up the new charter, and at the elction following Mark 
Tympn became the first Mayor under the new form. Two years later he was 
succeeded by Francis T. McDonald. Commission government was proved a success, 
and few Sauleurs would consider a return to the old regime.
