At a meet ing of the committee at the City Hall last night the Auditors" report feature was discussed at length and finally passed aa desirable. The committee finished the nrst lap of Its work last night by reading through and deriding diaputed points In about a third of the proposed char ter. The passage of the disputed points was not final, however, and changes may be made when these points are brought up on the second reading of the charter and the submission of It to the general committee for vote. Tet to be considered are the provisions for franchise grants, certain tax levies and the workings of some of the de partments. Five Desartawsls Oatliaed. Regarding the administration of city affairs, the commission decided last night that there should be five de partments aa follows: Public affairs, llnanc. public safetv. public worka am! public utilities. The Mayor of the ity under the terms of the proposed charter as it stands now la to be elect ed by the commlssl.r.ers. He Is to l ave the veto power In questions of organization of the working force of the city and In readjustments of of-f'-es nd affairs. The commlaalon will appoint an auditor, a treasurer and a in.inl-lpal Judge, and theae officers will appoint officers to fill positions in t.'ieir departments under civil service limitations. Much argument has been raised as to the proper method of naming the City Auditor. Some members of the -omm.ttee are holding out for bis ap pointment by the commission, while tiher contend that he should be elect ed at! should act as a check on the rommtrslon. Thla point bns not been d-f!n!telr settled. The Auditor. Treas urer. Judge and other officera may be womn as well aa men. according to one provision of the charter which has met with the approval of the com-i.ltt-i so far. The only limitation to tliis le a provision requiring ail these officers to be legal residents and reg istered voters ot Portland. Officials Subject e ReaaevaU All officials appointed by the com mission are to be subject to removal for cnuse a tn.v time. The pripised i harter provides that the order of re moval must be accompanied by a state ment of charges which can be answered by the officer who Is sought to be re move i. The tax limit la placed by the charter at I mills. The committee has as yet not delved Into the proposition of the levy limit for the various funds except ing the sinking fund and the special bridge fund. For the former no less than four-tentbs of a mil! can be levied and for the latter no less than one-half mill. Much trouble la predicted by Richard TV. Montague, one of the members of tie committee, when the franchise pro. visions of the proposed charter are reached. The sub-committee which is drafting the framework of the char ter has not finished this part of the work aa yet. owing to difficulty In reaching an agreement on some of the fundamental points of the franchise provisions. The main hitch It Is said is on the propriety of granting the commission the right to grant fran chises or requiring the commission to submit applications to the people at the general elections. The sub-committee will meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock and complete Its work. Another meeting of the general committee will be held next Monday night. It Is proposed to finish the work by May IS and have the proposed char ter ready to submit to the people at a special election this coming Summer. tno years Onslrjr has been living in Portland.
