We join in the opinion of many
other citizens that the time has come
for Watertown to assume the relations
Of city sovereignty, and her position
among the cities of the state with a
mayor and full council. To take this
step no change is needed in our present
charter, and any amendments to the
charter that may be desired mayor
and full council are perfectly compe-
tent to make for legislative action. 1t
might be argued that it would even be
better to have the amendments to the
charter passed upon by a mayor and
fourteen aldermen than by a smaller
body. 1t is very clear that Watertown
loses ground every year she is without
a complete city government. There
is no need Of going into details upon
this phase of our situation, it being
clear to every one who has paid the
slightest attention whatever to matters
here for some years past.
