At the meeting to consider tmn4

old board was represented by 11 nan-
bers; two member of toe legislature
ar nraiant to sive counsel.
pressed satisfaction with the charter;
the worst said was that it had not yet
had sufficient trial Rawtoton waa de
precated, and no radical changes war
suggested. ,
' Among the amendments offered waa
one to aaaaaa the coat of building

a restricted district. Cutting dawn the
detailed advertising notloea of the aa
ssssmrnt of costs waa another ucgee
- tlnn; and changing the civil service rules
ao as to take laborers from under the
Jurisdiction of the commission waa dis
cussed, as waa also the postponement
of the city election to the time for the
county and state, election. A special
provision granting railway companies
franchise for extensions and connections
had advocates.
Those present were A. A. Bailey and

Mr. Devlin waa canon upon, mm m. wvm

to tell what he knows of it Ha be
lieved the charter waa good in Its main
features, and pointed out th tares

tent, he felt sura that the courts woura
decide in favor of th city. The work
of the civil service commission had been
felt In every department, and although
it worked hardships In certain cases, it
had Improved the servloe generally. The
city was now in a better financial con
dition than before th charter waa adopt
ed, although the levy of 7 mlil waa In
sufficient to meet th requirements of
the departmenta.
Mr. Devlin said -in looking at the mat
Mr from all sides, th charter appeared
to be an excellent one, and compared
favorably with any in the United States.
The opinion waa generally; expressed
that care should be taken in any pro
pbeed changes, which should be made
along lines where the charter had been
tried and found to be a failure.
H. W. Scott waa quite emphatic In his
statements that ha waa opposed to any
i AO cLi caanv
He apologized for editorials whloh had
Been puotianea in ma paper "
change df time of th city election to
the date of the county and state elec
tions. He waa absent from the city at
the time, he said, but when he returned
the publication of the articles was at
once discontinued.
' He desired it understood that he waa
pot in favor of changing the time of
election. " " "
Just before the meeting adjourned a
resolution was introduced as follows:
"Resolved. That It la the sense of this
committee that all proposed amendments
to the city charter be submitted to the
voters of this city for their approval
or disapproval before they are recom
mended to the state legislature."
It was thought wise to table the reso
lution until a larger attendance of the
charter members and the state legisla
ture are present.
Next Friday evening another meeting
will be held At that time proposed
amendments to the city charter will be
presented and a general discussion had
on the advisability of adopting the same.
