a-
quickly in issuing the call for the first
meeting of the charter commission. He
had been waiting for some time on ac
count of the fact that no one had been
named to fill the vacancy. Although
not officially notified that Mr. Ritan
will accept the place, the Mayor waived
that technicality and sent out the for
mal all for the first meeting.
The charter commission was author
ized by the City Council, which desig
nated Mayor Lane and Councllmen
Baker and Cellars to select a commit
tee of 15 taxpayers. The complete list
la as follows: s ,
Named by Mayer Lane R. W. Montague,
lawyer; John M. Gaarln, ex-United States
Senator and lawyer: W. Q. Eliot. Jr.. pastor

It is expected that the charter com
mission will hold frequent sessions
after the organization meeting, as it is
believed there will be much work con
nected with the revising', amending; and
creating of new secttons for the char
ter, the amount of work depending
upon the decision of the commission as
to how much changing: the charter
need.f It Is probable that the first
few sessions will be given over to the
hearing of those who wish to make
suggestions as to the charter, after
which the commissioners will settle
down to the actual work of revision.
