Perkins, D. C. Rodgers, C. W. McKeown and Council man Norton, who constitutes the commis sion which is framing a cnarter for St. Johns, are finishing up their work, but It will be several weeks more before the completed draft can be subnltted to the people. Mayor Hinman presides at the sessions of the commission and Attorney Perkins is the secretary. Mr. Greene Is the City Attorney for St. Johns and is familiar with the defects of the charter St. Johns Is now doing business under. D. C. Rogers Is president of the St. Jotms Commercial. Club. Mr. Rogers says the principal problem is. to provide for the Improvement of streets: It was intended to adopt the provision of the Seattle charter by which the city lets the contracts, collects the money from property-owners direct and pays the contractors, but it was dis covered that this provision of the Seattle charter Is unconstitutional in this state and it had to be cut out, much to the regret of the commission. It is likely, said Mr. Rogers yesterday, that the main features of the street im provement provisions of the Portland charter will be adopted. In order to make street assessments equitable, after long discussion it was decided to Insert a provision . prohibiting the assessing of property for more than 50 per cent of Its value, and the commission also has in serted another provision for the same purpose. It is proposed to divide up a block into four sections and assess for any street improvement the property one half the depth of the block. If It is 200 feet the property will be assessed 100 feet deep. If 500 feet deep It will be assessed 250 feet .from the street under Improvement. The assessment will be as follows in four sections: First section, 40 per cent; second section. 25 per cent; third section. 20 per cent; fourth and last, section, 15 per cent. The Bancroft bonding provision also la retained in the new charter. The new Instrument makes the City Attorney elective Instead of appointive. Two or three members of the commission oppose this provision, but four favor it, and it will probably stand. Mr. Rogers said yesterday that it would be some time In January before the commission would finish Its work and the new charter be submitted to a mass meeting of voters. There was some talk of taking the docu ment to the Legislature next month, but It was found that this cannot be done. It must be adopted by te people at an election. As soon as the charter Is finished it will be typewritten and submitted to a mass meeting for consideration. What will then follow remains to be seen. It will be a long document and cannot be read through at one meeting. It Is Mr. Rogers' Idea that the mass meeting might appoint a special committee to examine and report on the Instrument. The com mission has been at work on the charter for several months, meeting every week. The members do not hope to please every body, but are working conscientiously to prepare as good a charter as possible. The population of St. Johns is estimated at 3500. and the taxable nrorjertv has been Increased In value from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000. There .has been a remarkable growth In all directions.

Heat will not crack it. nor will It warp under three times the heat or hard usage that would ruin another range. Malle able iron is produced by a process that gives it durability and toughness. It requires about 1600 degrees of heat to melt, and for all prac tical purposes is unbreakable. Therefore it is possible to make the top of the Monarch lighter in weight than an ordinary cast-steel top. A lighter and more close grained metal will transmit heat more quickly and with less loss than a thicker metal. Now fully four fifths of the household cooking is done on the top of the range; hence a top that will heat more quickly will save fuel.
