SEATTLE. TUESDAY. MAY .


City Comptroller Carson has declared
himself on the subject Of the revision OF
the charter. He agrees that the charter
should be amended and that the present
plan Of governing the city, or attempting
to govern it. by commissions, is q failure.
Mr.. Carson advocates the adjustment Of
al commissions and intimates that the
work now performed by the various boards
should be entrusted TO salaried officials.
He objects particularly to the payment OF
. salary to the board Of park commission
ers and suggests that the work Of this
commission could DO performed satisfac-
toriiy by the city engineer. the street sue
perintendent and the board OF pablo
works.
As regards the city council, Mr.. Carson
Is of opinion that the maintenance OF two
branches has tendency to prevent hasty
ana iil-advised legislation. Upon this
point he speaks a. follows:
While there are Q number of changes neces-
sary in our charter. and which ought to DC made
at our next regular election, yet there ID danger
OF the pendulum swinging too far to the other
side and eliminating from the charter features
which long experience has proven 10 De TeilAole
safeguards. A city council composed OF two
branches has many times proven q check upon
extrsvagsnf. vicious aud In some instances cor.
rupt leg siation. The objection to the trivial ex.
pense OF a second branch OF the council Will not
weigh In the balance against what might result
from extravagant and vicious legislation.
While there may be some force in the
argument that two branches of the council
will act as check one upon the other. il
Is certainly true that If proper care is
taken in tho selection Of q mayor the
veto power reposed in him would accom-
plish the same result.
The proper form Of government for .
city Of the size OF Seattle would be one
that consolidated the legislative power in
a council having but one branch, and the
administrative power is board of public
works, consisting of the mayor. the city
engineer and the secretary of tho board,
and in tho heads of departments appointed
by the mayor and the board OF public
works. In this way and in this way only
could material reduction in the number
OF salaried officials be made and an
economical administration OF municipal
affairs be secured.

The suit Of Longworth's administrator

defendant. Mcssrs. W. r. Meredith and
w. Q. SHELTON represented the plaintiff,

ter was tenant in one Of the houses Of
Mr.. Shields. large property-owner on
Church Hin.
The plaintiff claimed that the back steps
were effectively constructed and were
without proper guards for children.
Twelve or fifteen witnesses were examined
