NEW CHARTER.
It's probable that Pasadena's days as a city
of the sixth class are numbered and that at no
very distant date the people will be called
upon to vote on new charter which will
bring us up to ffth-class municipality. AS
will be remembered, at the last general cleo
tion an amendment to the state constitution
was voted upon and passed granting cities of
the fifth class the right to frame charters of
their own, instead OF working under the gen.
eral state charter
In order to get the special charter through it
will be necessary to hold two elections. The
frs for the purpose of electing ten citizens
whose duty it win be to draw up the oh arter
and present it to the voters of the city for ap-
prevail.
This last will also have to be by an election,
so that there promises to be abundant op-
portunity for voting during the coming year.
There has as yet been but little discussion on
the question of new charter, and Just what
advantages it may be able to offer not
very clear. There are, however, a number of
improvements which have long been desired
in our present charter, and this will afford an
opportunity for making the changes.
