Voters to Decide on Utilities Right to Municipal Own ership Sought For Charter Among the amendments to the city charter to be voted up on Tuesday is a measure enabl ing the city to acquire, own, construct, and maintain an el ectric light plant and other utili ties, provided the voters so de termine in an election duly call ed?' The act has no bearing on any present issue, but merely gives the city the right to own and operote its utilities should there be any advantage. The present charter does not pro vide for this. Another amendment specifies the hours of voting in special elections to be from 1 p. m. to 8 p. m., instead of all day, as at present. The change in terms of of fice of Councilmen is to provide a shift so that an entire new council is not elect. J at one time is at present. The amendment regarding the bonding of the city marshal is occasioned by the fact that dif ficulty is sometimes encountered in filling the technicial require ments for bonds of the marshall at present. The change would not diminish his responsibility. PORTLAND, Ore.,—(Special.) —Employes and employers from the lumber industry of western 26 registered delegates at 35 U. of O.
