The club recommends that the joint com mittee having charge of redrafting the Instrument consider all of the objections which have been raised and any. changes which are deem ed advisable. The motion, sec onded by Henry R. Crawford, Was carried unanimously. - - Newell Williams, "chairman of the club's civic affairs committee, was selected as the Lions' mem ber of the drafting committee. Issues Narrowed In debating the merits of the charter Watson Townsend and W. H. Dancy, members of the city council, practically narrowed the issues down to two; election of the council at large and employ ment of subordinate city workers by the city manager. Mr. Dancy stated that ne would make no serious objection to the charter If provision were made for perpetuating the city's bond obligations and special taxes. He indicated that he would not op pose submitting the charter to the voters if this one thing were done and the legality of the charter otherwise assured. Then he went on to reiterate his previously expressed opinion Lthat the council should number . m X A seven .persons eiectea rrom me wards, so that all part6 of tbe city would ie represented. He also said , that subordinate employes should be selected by the heads of departments, who would then be fully -responsible. Club Members Agreea This last ebJection was . one which' in lhe"tater general discis sion appeared to find greatest support among the club members. Mr. Townsend said that selec tion of all emplayes was placed in the hands of the city manager be cause that was the procedure in practically all of the cities gov erned under this plan. Only about seven per cent of the voters elected Mr. Trwneend to the council, he pointed out in criticizing the ward method of election, and he is responsible on ly to. that small group although his acts as . a .councilnan affect the entire city. In response to a question, he assured the members that the proposed charter guaran tees the right of recall under the state law.
