Analyzes the acceptance and rejection of the city manager form of government in 17 Utah cities. Describes the city manager system of local government, the Mormon-based social culture of Utah, and the compatability of the two. Concludes that Mormon tradition encourages active citizen participation in local affairs and, to a degree, rejection of a professional manager.
