Bromage Cautions City Leaders Against 'Erosion of Home-Rule' 'Home-rule cities and villages must be aware of what is happen- ing at the state capital, says Ar- thur W. Bromage, professor of political science at the University. Home rule, a constitutional doc- trine implemented by legislative act is known by municipal officials As- a "fluid battle line," declared Professor Bromage last Thursday at the annual convention of the MichiganMunicipal League. "Year after year, the threat is poised of legislative invasion of the home-rule doctrine," he said.

He recom- mended federal assistance to stu- dents planning careers in govern- ment, to universities for enriching their present programs, and to state and local governments to develop effective career services for their employees. Macy, who is presently working with an advisory group of mayors and university officials on these presidential proposals, called the program a grants-in-people pro- ject. One way to help state and local governments to get qualified career people, Macy said, would be to extend the NDEA forgiveness clause to civil servants. The clause presently allows only teachers to reduce their debt in NDEA loans by up to 50 percent. Macy also plans to recommend increased fed- eral aid to cities, states, and uni- versities. Macy pointed out that a bill in- troduced this year by Senator Ed- mund S. Muskie (Maine) some- what parallels his grants-in-peo- ple proposals. Extensive hearings have already been held on the bill, which would provide grants to states to develop educational opportunities in civil service. Ac- tion on Muskie s bill is not likely this late in the session, however. ---m-m--- --------------- !

The Michigan Municipal League must monitor the state legislature as to bills leading to the erosion of home-rule according to the po- litical scientist. The voters, too, must realize their responsibility for creating government or mis- government for themselves, he added. 'Home rule is more than legal powers and local charters," cau- tioned Bromage. "Municipal gov- ernments are not like electric clocks running automatically on a remote power source. They must be wound up regularly and oper- ated by fallible human beings. "City hall is what mayors and councilmen do to fix policy; what appointed administrators and em- ployees do to implement policy Home-rule, like any system, can retreat into caretaker govern- ments, unless voters, mayors, and councilmen set community goals Home rule is only a legal gateway to a healthy political process."
