CITY ATTORNEY SAYS
COUNCIL HOLItH MKKTING TO LIS.
TEN TO OPINION PREPARED IN
RELATION TO PETITION SUB
MITTED Last night a brief special meeting
of the council was held to receive the
opinion of City Attorney Horace M.
Manning on the legality of the char-
tor amendment proposed to give the
city the commission form of govern
ment, which was submitted to the
council January 29, by Dr. William
A. Leonard.
The opinion states that tho petition,
as died, Is vague. Indefinite cad est
drafted In accordance with ti:o forni
on pago 399, section 2, chapter 22C,
1907 Oregon law. It says the pro
posed amendent Is In the form of
new charter, and not In tho form of
an amendment to an existing charter,
that It purports to bo an amendment
to the Klamath Fall charter,-but does
not describe the act to which It Is to
to an amendment. Further the city
attorney says:
"If tho proposed meaanre la con-
trued a an amendment to the exist
ing charter, then tbo situation of tho
city at the present tlmo la not allevi
ated In that It Is amendatory of n
charter under whlen we are unable to
sell tho city' bond?"
"The proposed measure Is silent on
this point, and the city would be com
pelled to Issue Its Improvement bonds
under our present charter, the legal
ity of which has from time to time
been called Into question. If the pro
posed measure I to be construed' as a
new charter, we are In ar atlll worse
position, aa It provides nothing on this
point.
"The Initiative and referendum taw
under which this petition and meas
ure are Bled, section 3, pago 400, Gen
eral Laws ot Oregon, 1907, prevides:
'Every such sheet for petitioners' sig
nature shall be attached to n fall and
correct copy of the title and text of
the measure so proposed by the Ini
tiative petition.'
"Turning to the measure and peti
tion you will find that the petition Is
attached to a full and correct copy of
the measure, but you will also Ind
that the measure Is without n title,
aa Is expressly required by the state
law under which it waa circulated.
There I a designation of the pro
posed measure as 'The Charter' of
tho city ot Klamath Falls, Oregon, not
as an amendment therete: but In
