HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Delegates Drew and Carlisle Row Over
Charter Amend ents.

Gharter Amendments.
In discussing the proposed amendments
TO the charter Delegates Drew and Carlisle
had brief. though lively, war of words,
with the result that Mr.. Drew shortly
afterward left the hall and did not again
show up. The amendment TO section 1 of
article VIII was about to be- read by the
clerk when Mr.. Carlisle rose to point of
order, claiming that the delegates had not
been provided with copies OF the proposed
amendment. Mr. Shields made the same
objection. and then Mr.. Drew said that If
the matter of passing on the charter
amendments was not taken up immedi-
ateiy nothing could be done at all; that
Wednesday was the last day on which the
delegates could take action in the matter.
Mr.. Carlisle then scored the charter re-
vision committee for not submitting the
proposed amendments at an early day.
They wait until the last minute, and
then expect US 10 railroad these amend
ments through without giving them proper
consideration" shouted Mr.. Carlisle.
They have no one to blame but them
selves If the wishes of the taxpayers and
the people are no. complied with" Then
Carlisle propounded q number of leading
questions TO Mr.. Drew. asking why the
commission had seen ct TO wait until the
eleventh hour before submitting the pro-
posed charter amendmentsf Mr. Drew
arose and holly retorted:
81 propose to resent"
The rest Of the sentence was lost In the
shouts Of Mr.. Carlisle who reiterated his
previous question in loud voice. Presi-
dent klober pounded his desk with his
gave. and finally brought the two MEM
hers TO order, and the business of the meet
Ing was then proceeded with.
