from his pocket and cut right and lett at
the men. The first blow of the knife
penetrated the left breast of Hassen. killing

A NEW CHARTER FOR BROOKLYN.

How the Reformers Of tho City Of Churches
Propose to Govern Their City.
The Citizens Reform Committee Of the city Of
Brooklyn nave Just completed their proposed new
charter, which will be Immediately presented be-
fore the Legislature
The proposed charter differs from the present one
mainly In the TACT that 1t places the entire govern
ment OF the city in the hands OF
TIE COMMON COUNCIL,
whom 1t empowers to make establish, modify,
amend or repeal ordinances, rules, regu-
atons and bylaws for the government OF the city (;
TO establish, manage and regulate ali the depart
ments created by the act and all matters connected
with them; to create such Offices they may deem
expedient; TO provide for the compensation OF
officers, and generally to have sole and exclusive
control over all matters connected, directly or In
directly, with the government OF the city. The
Common Council shall consist OF the Mayor and
Board OF Aldermen. to be elected annually one
Alderman from each ward OF the city.
DEPARTMENTS
The act creates the following departments, viz. -
Department Of collection, Department OF Law,
Department OF Police and Health, Department OF
T Wafer and Of parSs
me Mayor, Auditor and Commissioner Of
eleces and That All the o1her heads Of
departments shall be appointed by the Mayor,
shall hold ONCE for term OF TWO years. that the
Mayor shall hold ONCE but one year, and abollshes
the present permanent Board" OF Water and
Sewerage Commissioners
THE ALDERMEN.
As the cnarter places the entire control OF the
city in the hands OF the Mayor and Board OF
Aldermen the committee propose to throw
salutary safeguards around the people, and
to protect them against corrupt and
baneful influences that too often follow
in the wake OF undisputed power. The act provides
that the Aldermen shall serve without cOmpensa-
ton, and that no Alderman shall hold any other
ONCE during his term OF service. and that
Immediately on his accepting any other office
his seat shall be declared vacant and lie
shall be deemed 10 have resigned. Section
% OF title Is provides that o1icer member Of
the Common Council snail be directly or indirectly
interested In any contract made by or with the city
or In the profits OF any such contract; that ocer
shall take or receive any money article, thing ad-
vantage or promise thereof as consideration for his
vote in his 0flicial capacity, and that any person
onending against these provisions shall be deemed
guilty OF felony and, upon conviction, shall be
imprisoned In State prison for term not less
than three years.
Many salutary measures are proposed for the re-
form and reorganization OF the civil service.
Printed copies OF the proposed charter were for
warded 10 Albany last evening.
