EUGENE W USE: DES fJOjUES PLAN Citizens , Will Vote Upon Eadical Changes in the n City Charter. . (Special Dispatch to Tha Journal.) . Eugene, Or., Jan. 6. The commission recently appointed by Mayor Matlock to revise the city charter has completed Its work and presented the amendments to the city -council at its meeting last night The amendments will be voted upon by the people of the city at a apo dal election some time next month. If the amendments as drafted by the commission are voted, there will bo some radical changes f rom the old char ter. Principal among the changes will be what is known as the Des Moines plan of city grovernment. This pro vides for the creation of five depart- ments of government as follows: - De partment of public affairs, department ofaccounts and finance, department of publlo safety, department of streets and public improvements, department of parks and publio property. The mayor is to be superintendent of the department of public affairs, and the council is to designate by vote a member of the council as superintend ent of each of the other departments. The council is to be reduced from eight to four members, and, the mayor has a vote upon all questions. ,The mayor and councilmen are to be placed upon a salary, whereas they are serving with" out pay under the old charter. The sal ary of the mayor is to be $800 yearly, and the coUncilmen $750 each. The new charter provides that when the city shall attain a population of 12,000 the salaries shall be Increased 20 per cent, and there is to be a further Increase of 20 per cent for each 5000 additional population thereafter. The office of city recorder is to be appointive instead of elective, as at present. The new charter provides that at elections for a bond Issue none shall vote who Is not a bona fide taxpayer in the city. The amended charter also authorises the city to bond Itself in the sum of $75,000 for a new city hall and to issue bonds in the sum of $75,000 for a tf&e plant and $150,000 for an electric light Plant ' . , In the clause relating to the regula tion of the sale of liquor, is a provision empowering the city to pass an ordi nance declaring a place where liquor is kept for sale to be a Common nuis ance and provides for search and seiz ure. Eugene haa such an ordinance on its records, but In a recent test case It was declared that the charter did not provide for such an ordinance.
