years, the salary oelng 1400 a month,
was the decision of the Charter Revision
Commission at its meeting Friday night.
Previously It had been determined to
make the office appointive, but the large
majority of the memhera were convinced
that to place the legal adviser under
obligations to the Mayor and Council
might result In embarrassing complica
tions. The commission also decided upon
some points regarding franchises which
had not hitherto been adopted, and there
was a supplementary report of the com
mittee on public utilities and franchises

the recommendations they made to the
commission regarding pavements and
rocK-crusning. The question of munici
par ownership or lighting facilities, he
aald. is left by the clubs to the members
of the commission without any advice.

nient in the sections of the charter per
taining to nard-surface streets. A city
paving plant is asked. The resolution
was referred to the committee on streets.
1 he rommlttee on public utilities and
franchises brought in a supplementary
report on permits to tear up pavements,
so the Mayor and Council may grant
such permission, but only when an
amount sufficient to repair the damage
has been deposited with the City Treas
urer. The amendment was adopted.
Tracks in Warehouse Districts.
There was much discussion over grant
ing franchises or permits to railroads In
such places as warehouse districts. Fred
erick V. Holman argued for definite
leiiKth of life for franchises in such
rases. Senator flearin moved to give
the Mayor and Council power to grant
for a limited number of years, which
carried. All public service franchises
must be submitted to vote of the peo
ple, howover.
R. W. Montague moved to amend
the section eliminating commercial rail
roads from vote by the people as to
franchises on the ground that they are
Interstate roads. The committee was
willing, and the motion carried. The
commission at a later date will adopt a
clear definition of "commercial rail
roads.

salary or the City Attorney should be
higher than now. but said the Mavor
