stf1ess Charter
OLYMPIA, Jan. 3O.-The preparation Of
the general Lar governing The adoption Of
Is progressing favorahly, and the prospect
u that the entire bill viii b ready by next
Saturday. Judge Parsons. q Tacoma, and
Councilman Niesx. Of 6satt,e. Who have
been preparing the major part Of The pro-
posed Law. have completed the provisions
relative 70 the election Of fifteen freehold
ders and the taking Of the census 70 ascer-
tain d any city proposing 70 take advantage
OF tbs act has the requisite population
They are now at work on the section defin-
ing the powers OF the respective
cities. and have complstsd twenty-one
clauses, comforting the powers usual in
such cases The intent OF the trainers of
the act is TO make these grants Of muni-
cipai authority cover the broadest possible
ground. Mr.. Nissz win recommend the
addition Of the following:
Cities shall have power Of local improve
ment and to levy special assessments on
property benefited thereby for the par
ment Of the same or any portion thereof
To prescribe the powers, duties and
compensation OF al is officers and 70 pro-
vide for the removal Of the same.
To provide for the payment Of damages
for property injured By local improvements
or othorwise.
To enter into contracts within its legal
credit limits.
Fur . board of public works. to consist of
not less than three nor more than seven
members.
To provide for the payment OF damages
for property injured by iocalimprovements
or otherwise.
These provisions. IL viii be seen. cover
matters Of great importance 70 the various
municipalities, and they leave each to set
tie the question of detail arrangement for
itself.
An awkward complication has arisen in
regard TO the manner in which the Seattle
charter may be framed in compliance with
the provisions of the enabling act The
election at which the fifteen freeholders to
prepare the charter shall b chosen viii
have to be q special election unless the
city decides to wait until July. By some
strange oversight there is no provision in
the present charter governing the conduct
of the special elections, and, II the existing
law is TO be followed, the matter cannot be
submitted until the second Monday In July,
at which time the regular city election
occurs.
There is At present before the Legislature
S. b. No. 49, which authorizes towns and
cities organised prior TO the adoption OF
the constitution TO extend their credit and
to fund their indebtedness. This bill pro-
vides Tor the submission of the question Of
extension OF Indebtedness to The people st
such time and upon such reasonable notice
and In the manner presented By the city or
town council not inconsistent with Honeral
election laws"
At this election. Il il heid, tie selection
Of the fifteen frceholders can be made and
the difficulty obviated.
1t is intended to submit the proposed en-
abling act to the city council Of Seattle,
and probably to the council Of Tacoma,
that suggestions may be made and objec-
tons to any of its provisions offered aud
discussed.

defense was that Palmer Is . worthless

his complaint is true. The wife swore
that he had repeatedly urged her to make

trapped and a big suit for damages
brought, he being possessed of consider
