after the best of our neighboring cities, i
This question ha been under consider
ation by the city authorities for two years
past and the old charter with the amend
ments enacted in 1 90S has been written
on the typewriter to prepare Tor publi
cation. No attempt has been mad to
revise the ordinance and non 1 apt to
be made unless the council employ ex
perts to do the work properly.
If the objection I have stated against
the -ld charter are well founded t
will be wast of time and money to pub
lish this old charter but the matter should
be deferred until' the new charter is en
acted by a vote of the people.
1 will briefly enumerate the essential
features that the new charter should
contain that are not already in the pres
ent charter.'
The corporate powers, the boundaries
of wards, the council representation, the
city limits, the vested power and authoi
ity. and the titles and number of city
officers to remain about the same.
The terms of all officer to be two years,
whether elected or appointed, unless re
moved from office for cause.
The officers to be elected are the mayor
and treasurer and members of the council,
all other officer to be appointed by the
mayor and confirmed by council, the may
or to have the power of removal for cause.
The qualifications for office and voters
h m as now.
Election laws the same. t,
The mayor to appoint all committee.
The power to improve street and build
sewers to be made more extensive so that
work may be commenced without so much
delay.
With the conflicting section corrected,
the obsolete part cutout, the repetition
removed and the omissions added that
have been in this letter enumerated, and
with the powers of the council embodied
undergone heading, and with the changes
suggested as to term of office and the
appointment and removal of officers, the
balance of the new charter to be about
the same as the old.
The legislative and executive branches
of the city government should be separ
ated'asmuch as possible.' One should
make the laws and the other execute them
The mayor should be what the present
charter says, viz: The chief executive of
the municipal corporation and he must ex
ercise a careful supervision over it gen
eral affairs and subordinate officer.
With a chief who ha authority a laid
down in Dillon' book, you can get an ad
ministration that will produce results.
The term under the new charter should
commence the first of the year.
The mayor and council in future terms
should have a small salary like they have
in Baker City and other places.
In our next installment will take up the
water question and if possible I would like
to see these two propositions the new
charter and the system of water works
got in shape to be voted on by the people
some time this fall before snow flies.
My term of office will soon expire and 1
will not be long at the head of the city
government so I would like very much to
see something doing before 1 am down
and out.
Help us to push the good wcrk along
and may all our best hopes for the future
of La Grande be realized, is the desire of
Yours Truly.

BLUSTRAII,1(i CHILD HAIUH
. An accident occurred last week in this
city that illustrate the love and kindness
that exists in the ordinary child nature
for its playmates and pets.
One day late last week. "Dot" Baker.
thre-yer-old daughter of Mr. and Mr.
Frank Baker, wis sitting in a second
tory window, holding a cat in her lap.
The screen suddenly gave way and the
ecreen. cat and child went crashing to the
ground a story below. In an instant
she was on her feet and looking for kitty.
The cat's absence caused a quiver on the
little one's lips and with a little sob
asked. "Is kitty hurt?" After being as
sured that it was not she soon assumed
her usual mien and toddled off to the
house uninjuied and happy.
