m considering the new charter. After o rather
warm discussion on the propriety Of giving the
appointing power to the Mayor. subject to the con-
nrmati0n OF the Board OF Aldermen, IL was
DECIDED BY A FORMAL VOTE

the German Republican Committee, in favor OF the
charter as 1t stands. These woudbe reformers VIII
