One thousand copies of the pro
posed new charter have Just been
turned over to the city from The Ob
server press, and the same are now
being distributed. It Is the Intention
to'placo one of these copies In the
hands of every voter In the city, that
he may read for himself what the
proposed charter contains.
There are not so many changes as
one might suppose, the main one being
tho clause fixing' the Indebtedness.
Under our present charter no limit i
provided for and It was upon this con
ultion that the last bond Issue wa
turned down.
The new charter, after legalizing or
rather recognizing our $25,000 city
hall bonds, our $50,000 water boniU
ind our $160,000 bods-to-be for the
Heaver creeK project, limits the in
debtedness to 10 per cent of our taxa
ble property. The above stated
amounts total $235,000, and an adill
tlonal 10 per cent of our taxable prop
erty gives us a margin of a little In
excess of $100,000 additional.
Another change Is the provision cm
powering the council to' refund out
UumllnR, warrants payable at stated
times drawing not over six per cent
Interest. This Is to prevent u decline
In the value of warrants. Several
vears ago city wcrrants were a low
as 65 cents on the dollnr..
The new charter chunges the Urn?
of holding city elections from March
as now, until the first Monday In De
cember.
Defendants before the city recordi-r
may demand a Jury trial upon depos
iting a sufficient sum to pay for cost
of the Jury. Another change Is fix
lng a limit on the penalties prescribed
In ordinances which cannot exceed
fine In excess of $300, or Imprison
ment for 150 days, or both, and pris
oners can be worked on the streets or
public buildings.
Our charter now provides for one
regular meeting a" month. The new
charter provides for two regular
meetings.
