SHORT STOPS.
What the People are SAYING.

The proposed amendments to the, city
charter which the city council has adopt
ed, are exciting public comment
Everybody recognized that this pr9Po,
sition to again amend the charter 10
piece Of good fortune to our ln'eli'S0n'
citizens.
1t gives them an opportunity 10 De
heard before the legislature ana " nay
the charter amended so as 10 coIIecs .nS
fragrant abuses now being perpetra!ed
| upon them.
The fact that the mayor, with SUD
seryient council, assumes to De master: 10
mass charter amendments, taking
| away from the people the right to elect
| their own officers; increasing his own and
| other salaries; validating spurious issues
| of bonds, is too much to be tolerated.
The new charter, so says Mr.. Berg
from, proposes to validate" the bonds
because too much sinking fund was as
sessed and collected. Would too great q
fund invalidste the bonds? Hardly.
Perhaps they are invalid because sold
below par. Is it a job to sell the ''block"
without bids in the open market?
II invalid bonds were sold, what did
they bringr
1t is confessed that the collection of 10
per cent was "a clerical error, "--why not
propose to return the 8 per cent surplus
to the tax payers.
The legislature must be appealed to
to,save this fair city from the bull headed
m mistakes, arbitrary acts, and reckless ex
trayagance Of the present city admins
tration.
Every one knows that among other
spurious bonds issued by Mr.. Callaghan
tn ere was $4,000 sO-called ''refunding
DO uds." The proposed new charter
mentions "refunding bonds" for the first
time, and "validates" them"
If there was no authority, or law to is.
sue these 'refunding bonds"then they are
no better than counterfeit greenbacks
and no amount Of validating" will save
the m from being traced to the cOun-
feiter.
Policeman Seffel's head fell into Cal
laghan's waste basket.
The new amendments to the charter,
not content in giving Callaghan 5000
year, give him the authority to marry
people. Another feather in his tail; il he
isn't watched, he will strut himself to
death.
