UNITY OF SYSTEM
Simon Revision Committee Is
Urged to Join in Effort to
. Decide on Practical Plan of
Cooperation.
"The -people's charter committee Is
heartily in favor of a practical plan
of cooperation."
This la the message to be aent by
Secretary Lpper of the people's com
mittee to the Simon charter revision
committee, which, If It desires to Join
forces with the people's committee and
submit but one commission plan char
ter to the people next January, must
take action at its next meeting.
The resolution containing the state
merit first quoted was adopted by the
peoples committee at a meeting last
night In the city hall. It was not
adopted until after sharp debate In
which the opposition was laid by Isaac
Swett and H. G. Parsons. W. C. Ben-
bow was one of those voting against
the form of consolidation proposed.
Strongly favoring the plan of getting
together for the sake of Insuring com
mission plan government, insofar as Is
possible, were George Black, who In
traduced the resolution. Chairman A.
K. Clark of the committee. Dr. Harry
Lane, A. D. Crldge and Dr. C. H. Chap
man. The text of the resolution adopteJ
reads:
absolutions Adopted.
"Whereas overtures have been made
by members of the charter committee
appointed by Mayor Simon that such
body cooprate with this committee with
respect to the formulation of a char
ter, and
"Whereas, this, the people's charter
committee, la heartily In favor of a
practical plan of cooperation, and
"Whereas this body has appointed
aubcommitteea from Its members to in
vestigate and submit to this committee
proposed charter provisions with regard
to different subjects necessarily em
bodied In a charter and the work of
such subcommittees in large part haa
been done and submitted and is now
before our whole commute for action;
therefore be It
"Resolved that It is the sense of the
people's charter committee that, as the
subcommittees of the said Simon char
ter commission shall have prepared the
text of their proposed charter provis
ions covering the various subdivisions
of the charter now the subject of con
sideration by our subcommittees, that
our subcommittee having any such sub
ject or charter provisions In hand, meet
with a like committee of the other,char
ter commission with a view to com
paring their work, ascertaining pointa
of difference, if it can be done con
sistently with the views of this body.
Prompt Action Urged.
"And Inasmuch as the work of this
body la well advanced and the necessity
Of prompt and definite action la es
sential ' to any practical plan of co
operation, we respectfully suggest to
such committee that it submit the text
of lta proposed charter provisions with
out delay, as without such action, there
is no oasis ror comparison or practi
cal cooperation.
Passing upon commission plan fran
chises, in accordance with a report sub
mltted by a subcommittee, of which W.
C. Benbow is chairman, the "people's
committee decided last night that It
should never be possible for any cor
poration to obtain vacations or allena-
tlons of public property except by vote
of the people. The city council can now
pass an ordinance vacating, say, streets
to, a railroad, . The commltraa s plan Is
that vacation of street must be voted
upon as a charter amendment
O ranting of rranehisee.
It was agreed that no franchise for
the use of more than three blocks, of a
street should be Issued unless the peo
ple vote thereon. For less than three
blocks It was thought the commission
should have authority to grant the
franchises.
Should a corporation obtaining
franchise fall to exhibit good faith or
take prompt action It was agreed by
the committer that such corporation
should be penalised a fine for the first
Offense; fine and Imprisonment for
the second offense; forfeiture of fran
chise for the third offense.
The committee also voted that should
electricity leak from the lines of any
power company and Injure pipes, the
company should be penalized to tne
amount of the damage.
The committee decided to include brief
mention of the city playground plan
after the- matter had been presented
by L. H. Weir.
WOULD PUT POWER
TO INITIATE STREET
WORK WITH PEOPLE
At the next meeting- of the charter
revision committee appointed by ex-
Mayor Simon, City Attorney Grant will
introduce for consideration an amend
ment to the present city charter taking
away from the council all authority to
initiate street Improvement proceedings
and placing it entirely In the hands of
the property owners.
The amendment will provide that be
fore any street can be made 51 per' cent
of the owners of the property abutting
on such street must sign the petition
designating the character of the Ira
provement and the particular pavement.
and providing that after such petition
Is signed by the property owners and
filed with the auditor it will require 80
per cent to defeat the Improvement by
remonstrance.
If this amendment is adopted It will
place the entire responsibility of street
improvements in the hands of a mi
Jority of the property owners on any
street, and the property owners will
thus have an opportunity, not only to
say when a street shall be Improved,
but may specifically designate the kind
and character of the Improvement to
be made.
The city attorney has given this mat
ter considerable thought and believes
that if the amendment is adopted It
will do away with the constant agita
tion of the different paving companies
with the council, and will Insure spirited
competition among the paving companies.

From the thoroughness of the Job
and the tools with which the work was
done, the local officers believe that the
same gang that has' recently been at
work In Vancouver turned the trick
here.
Motor oar Is Stolen.
Later in the morning another feature
was added to the robbery by the report
that the motor car of T. J. Trapp, which
Is one of the largest and most powerful
automobiles in the city, had been stolen
from Us garage, and later this car was
found broken down In front of the x.
M. C. A. building. It is presumed that
the robbers stole the Trapp machine and

but something went wrong and they
were foroed to abandon the car.
The bank usually has a night watch
man on duty, but Just now he la away
on his vacation. - It was on tne Darnc
guardian's bed that the robbers piled
the gold and bills they took from the
vault after they had blown the door
open with nltro-glycerine. It was with
the blankets and quilts from the watch
man's bed that they plugged the hole
In the wall of the vault and muffled
the explosion in the little room.
Chief of Police Bradshaw has sent
word to all of the adjacent cities to be
on the watch for the men, and it is be
lieved that they soon will be apprehended.
A promlner. financial man. manager
of a local trust company, who assisted
the manager of the bank in an inquiry
into the loss, is authority for the state
ment that the robbers got away with
$316,000 in all. leaving $50,000 lying
about after they had made their divvy.
It is presumed that they found they
could dispose of no more about their
persons.
"The bank robbers were expert safe
wreckers," stated Chief of Police Brad-
ahaw, as he laid out before him the I
tools which be had gathered la the vault!
"They must have fired the charge of
dynamite by battery. The tools com
prise a brace and bit. a hand croWbaT,
a piece of gas pipe, several bits and
drills and two handbara for dieting out
tne brick. They chose their tools in
every wsy suitable for 'the task, and
had carefully estimated all the oondl
tlons. '
"Entry was doubtless made by key
through the front door. Then, disturb
ing no lights In the front office of the
bank, they had worked from the rear of
the brick vault, the walls or wmcn lent
themselves to easy operations, as the
bricks were not cemented but united
with mortar.
"Once into the vault, work was easy,
The cash safe therein, in which the
money they had rightly estimated rest
ed could be drilled without fear of dta
turbance, and the charge of dynamite
shot off without noise. The bedding or
the absent Janitors cot wa taken to
plug up the opening they had made In
the wall of the safe, thus there was
little possibility of the sound of the
explosion passing out to the street."
Manager Brymner, or ne looiea nun
of Montreal bVanch, stated tnai tne 10
tal amount in the vault robbed was
1316.000. aome of which was left scat
tered about The Staff of the bank
was busy this forenoon ascertaining the
exact amount of the loss, and Manager
Brymner will issue a positive statement
a soon aa their work is completed.
Loss Caused by Delay.
It has been estimated by the national
board of fire underwriters that four
fifths of the annual fire loss In the
United States could be saved If firemen
could reach fires, in one half the time
now requirea.
