Kneeling on the floor of the juvenile

placed In the hands of the mayor and
council, who are to transact ail the
business of the city.
The committee recommends that the
management of thtt cltva arfalra be di
vided into, aeven departments and that
the mayor appoint rac member of the
Council, rlialrmen of a ctinmlttee con
sisting of the chairman and two other
count ilmen. to have entire charge of
that branch of the city's affairs; re
serving to- the mayor the rlaht to
change the personnel of any committee
at any time without notice, and to the
different committee the right to change

The clause- recommending the aboli
tion of parties in civic elections was
heartily favored by nearly all the mem
bera. ' It was the general opinion that
the names of two candidates receiving
the highest number of votes for an
elective office other than councilman in
the primaries should be placed upon the
ballot. The Question of salaries for the
oiricers was pasnea over unui tne next
meeting as waa that of the recall.1 Tho

to state officers, and should provide that

after careful consideration determined
that seven councllmen and a mayor
were the least number that, a city the

to make each councilman the head of
a department. The. original report rec
