He said, today that- the . bulk of the work of. his office Is due to the suits that ' arise from the im provement work while in Seattle the same work amounts to comparatively nothing. In speaking of the plan for revision Kavanaugh said: ' Imperative ZTeed of Chang. "There is no doubt that a revision of the charter la imperative. - The pres ent one ts archaic in construction. It was drafted by a committee of men who had excellent ideas along certain lines, but in putting them together tbe en eral Scheme of operating the govern ment was overlooked.. What is neces sary Is to evolvS a scheme of , govern ment that will remove the present con fllots of authority. The work is of grave importance and should be most carefully done. , Charters of other cities should .be examined while the legal phase should also be. carefully worked OUt..- . .'V- . :'-'- ' " (-. - 'Tn regard to the street Improvements there is too much delay.. Trifling tech nicalities should be removed, that only . serve to, delay and harass in the execu tion' of . city improvements. For In stance, great street tmnrevement ran be held up by , a trifling error -in the advertisements. Such things should not ' be, and the scope of the scheme should be more liberal. " - "The subject is one that' 1 - do not care to speak on off hand, but I realize that a change must be made in the pres ent plan of conducting the city's burli ness. Officers and departments should be so regulated that they can work har moniously without encroaching upon each other's rlchts. Such can not h done at present without a general agree ment as to the respective powers of each department. w "Respecting the discussion In regard to district assessments, I want to say that it is a condition that the people shouM very carefully study out before binding themselves to such a plan. The. need for this kind of a system is ap parent, if we are to have a great citv, but only the greatest care should be exercised In drafting this feature. As to the manner of effecting the revision I should suggest that a repre- mnuYi ramouun uo appoimea, ana let them draft a charter that the people can vote on at the November lection.
