The Tacoma CHARTER.

TACOMA, Aug. 1.-THE board of free
holders met today and resumed con .idera-
ton of the new city charter after weeks
adjournment. A motion to leave the ques-
ton of ward divisions to a direct vote Of
the people in an alternative article was lost
after much discussion. Among careful
business men and property owners who
have given the subject any attention there
is much objection TO the provision of the
charter for four wards only, under which
the council will consist OF but eight menu
bers. a number generally consid-
cred too small to properly protect
and promote the interests Of
such city as Tacoma is already, and GER
tainly inadequate to constitute the sole
representative municipal body of such a
city as Destiny" evidently intends to be-
come. The provision is regarded in the
light of victory so far OF the ring. or, II
that term be objectionable, and possibly
unmerited. the little coterie OF gentlemen
who seem to have a strong hold upon city
contracts at present, and evidently hope to
retain it. Under proper leadership suf-
ficient opposition 10 the contract and ward
clauses of the charter might easily be de-
veloped to defeat it. There are many who
think that both questions should be sub
mitted in alternative articles, so as not to
endanger the entire charter.
