lHE REFORM MOVEMENT IN BROOKLYN.

Meeting of the Citizens' Committee.
An adjourned meeting Of the Citizens Reform
Committee was held last night at their rooms in
Montague street, Mr.. Franklin Woodruff IN the
chair. The question, OF course, which agtated the
minds OF the members OF the Committee was the
completion Of the new charter which tney have had
under consideration Tor the past two weeks. The
last proposition at the former meeting was the
change IN the Board OF Alderman, having nine-one
from each Assembly district-and Board OF Assist
ant Aldermen.
Mr.. PERRY moved that the candidates be eligible
only after three years residence In the district,
the Aldermen to be elected on general city ticket
and the term OF Office be for Two years.
Various views were expressed upon this PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. HUNTER was OF the opinion that 1t was useless
to spend much time on this charter.
Mr.. A. U. DAVIS said that the Aldermen should be
few In number and elected throughout the entire
city. An honest vote and honest men were wanted.
He was Of tie opinion that party feeling was losing
It's control over the public.
Mr.. BARNES said the only way to have good on
GERS was to put the dominant party so lar In the
minority as to compel proper nominations. tn rd
party might be organized Of the taxpayers OF both
parties, which would be still better. lie was op-
posed to having two legislative bodies In the city.
Colonel JOHNSON was also opposed to two legtsla.
tive bodies In the city. They were injurious in any
other than State or national governments
After some further discussion 1t was agreed that
there should be nine Aldermen elected-one from
each Assembly district
