AN ARGUMENT FOR THE REPEAL OF THE
CHARTER

The leading arguments made by the advo-
Gates for the repeal of the charter at the meet
ing of the " Board of Trade" last night was
that the Corporation is spending too much
money in building school houses, and is clean
ing out the Washington canal. As the Senate
bill repeating the charter makes no provision
whatever for the support of the public schools
of the District. the enemies of our public school
system may have good reason To desire its pas
sage. But The opponents of canal improve
ment Will hardly make much by the repeal of
the charter, since the Corporation, in the exc
cution of the work, Is simply carrying out the
plan laid down by the board of engineers ap-
pointed by Congress tor that purpose.
