Second, Third and Fourth from Central avenue to Commercial ave nue. Anderson avenue west from Broad way. Balance of South Second street between Central avenue and Ander son avenue. Commercial avenue from Broad way to Third street. In ordering the paving, the ques tion of the width of streets was re vived. Sometime ago, the council adopted an ordinance providing that the sidewalks should occupy two-fifths of the street, that is a sixty-foot street would have side walks twelve feet wide ' on each side. leaving thirty-six feet road way. Some of the property owners wanted ten-foot sidewalks and forty foot roadways. However, with the exception of Central avenue which will have ten-foot sidewalks to cor respond with the part already built, the streets ordered paved last night were ordered built in conformity with the ordinance requiring twelve foot walks. Storm sewers and catch basins were also ordered put in the section that it Is proposed to sewer. View ers to pro rate the cost of the latter will be named next meotlng. Improve AVnreliouse. II. W.

The draft of tho new charter for the city of Marshfleld wa3 formally accepted by the city council last evening, tho charter with a letter being filed with City Recorder Bu1 ler by tho citizens' committee who drafted it. The entire charter will be gone over in detail by tho mem bers of tho council, the first part of jt being considered last evening in a committee meeting which did not adjourn until almost midnight. They will meet again tonight to take tho matter up. The charter is rather .engthy, covering 141 closely type written pages. While it has not beeu definitely determined, it is understood to be the plan to submit it to the electors of Marshfleld under an initiative petition from the committee that drafted it. This action will not be taken until tho council goes over all of it and determines what changes that body desires' in It. The charter was accompanied by the following letter from the mem bers of the committee: Your committee appointed to draft an amended chnrter for tho City of Marshfleld, have tho honor to submit herewith tho results of its labor. Upon receiving notice from the mayor of our appointment the committee met and selected Dr. C. W. Tower for chairman, and C. F. McICnlght for secretary, and tho work was divided among Ave sub committees and as each sub-committee reported tho members of tho general committee met and each section of the proposed amendments were read and discussed and such alterations and recommendations were made that met with tho ap proval of those present at the meet ing. We have been guided by tho in formation received from other char ters not onlyofthlsstatebutofother states, and where tho provisions In them appeared particular appllcablo to our necessities they were adopt ed In most place verbatim. On tho other hand where our municipal conditions required tho drafting of now and particular provisions, tho scopo and plan of such provisions were formulated by tho general committee and in addition thereto the advice and suggestions of other citlzenB wero sought in reference thereto. Wo hr.vo nttompted to formulate our amendments upon liberal lines and aimed to free it of dogmatism, yet preserving sufficient restrictive powers to the council which will enable it to protect tho city against harmful usage. By In stituting tho Board of Public Works wo have endeavored to froo tho members of the council from per forming duties outside of tho coun cil room and left to them purely legislatlvo functions. On nccount of the invaluable position which tho council holds to tho city govern ment, wo havo decided that no com pensation which tho city can afford to pay members of tho council will bo commensurate with their service, therefore wo have made their posi tion honorary. Tho -chapter wo havo submitted on Public service corporations has been. given. amplo flexibility, for tho reason that tho city's position in relation to such corporations, must of necessity, romaln for a while, at least In some doubt.
