SUBMITTED 10 THE COUNCII-



The Charter Handed Over to the Legis-
latiye Body.
At the meeting Of the city council last
night the draft of the proposed charter
was presented by Judge Jacobs, who was
accompanied by several members of the
commission.
Judge Jacobs said he had the honor TO
present to the council as the legisla-
tive body of the city the results
of their work. They had given
the best intellectual thought and labor they
could and hoped it might be found q bull
wark OF municipal strength and also of the
interests of the growing city.
They would find few erasures and inter-
lineations, and arrangements had been
made to have it bound. He hoped the
council would carry out that plan. A
schedule will be offered of the alterations.
The judge then handed the charter to
Mayor White.
The mayor said that on behalf of the city
OF Seattle he accepted it, and rendered the
thanks OF the city for the untiring work of
the commission.
Mr.. Twichell moved that the formal
thanks of the city be rendered this body of
ireehoIders for their untiring work upon
the charter
Judge Rochester was called upon to
speak, but answered that he had nothing
TO say until the charter went before the
people.
A recess was taken and the charter ex-
amined.
1t was then ordered published according
to law

q the territory by President Grant. After
ms arrival In Seattle he served as MAYOR for
Two terms. was president of the board of
regents for ten years. also school director.
code commissioner and Judge advocate
general.
Jacob Furth came from Austria to the
United States in 1857. when he was II years
Old. He engaged in mercantile pur suits in
California. coming to Seattle in 1882 when
ne organized the Puget Sound bank. Of
which he has ever since been managed. He
was member of the city council for four
years: is vice-president OF the Spring Hill
Water Company. He has taken an active
interest in building cable roads and is
president of the Front Street Cable line he
is also director Of the Madison Street rail-
way the South Seattle Motor line and
Third Street Electric line; and director of
the Seattle Terminal Railway & Elevator
Company.
J. G. Nixon is . merchant doing an ex-
tenslve business. He was heavily inter
ested for some time in the sealing trade.
but withdrew last season. He is q potent
factor IN local politics.
George b. Adair is the managing partner
OF the Gordon Hardware Company. He is
president OF the Seattle Board of Trade.
The lawyers had considerable to do with
the phraseoiogy of the charter, but each
member has stamped 1t with one feature of
individuality. To Judge Lewis may be ar
tributed the dual council, to Douglas
Young the park department and the eight
hour alternative, to Judge Rochester the
police department and the public library. to
Jacob Furth the system Of Finance
TO Robert Caliigan and John Collins the
perfection OF details in departments. to Mr..
Adair the provision OF saIaried mayor
and the dissertation of politics from the
administration of the Offices. and so on
throughout the entire document. The
work OF revision. done mainly by Judge
Greene, results in q masterpiece of SYM.
