THE NEW CHARTER
A Copy Of the Proposed Instrument Is
Filed With the City Clerk

The new city charter as it is proposed
to be amended by the suggestions of the
League for Better City Government has
been filed with the city clerk.
The League, by the amendments it pro-
poses, designs to clothe the mayor with
all the responsibility for the local ad-
ministration. 1t confers upon the ex-
ecutive great powers and gives to him
about all the city patronage.
The offices of superintendent of streets
and city engineer are consolidated. The
city engineer Is made ex-officio super
intendent of streets. The mayor has
the appointment of auditor, treasurer
and all of the auxiliary officers.
Ward representation in the city coun-
Gil is obliterated and the nine members
of the council are elected at large. Seven
members Of the school board are also
chosen at large.
OF course the city council will have to
call an election and the voters can in
dorse the charter or reject it,
Among other things 1t provides for the
consolidation of the offices of city and
county tax collector and city and coun-
ty assessor.
If the voters were to approve the new
charter then the legislature could give
1t to the city. Should the voters reject
1t then it would be killed.
1t Is not designed, so 1t Is understood,
to have the new charter go into effect
before April, 1898.

factured products. The following reso-
luton was passed by unanimous vote:
Whereas. We are informed by the Of
f1cers of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association that an exhibition Of
home manufactured products will be
held under the auspices of that associa-
ton in January, 1897.
Resolved. That we cordially endorse
the proposed exhibitions as a worthy at
tempt to make known to the public, both
residents and tourists, the variety, ex-
tent and importance of our manufactur-
ing industries; as 1t will tend to develop
and foster a still greater diversity Of
home enterprises, we heartily commend
1t to the support and patronage of our
members and Of the public at large.
The Academy of Sciences of Southern
~
Kinney the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we invite the regents
of the University of California to open
the forestry station at Santa Monica to
responsible students. Responsible bot
anists are, undet the present restrictions,
prevented from pursuing their studies
on the forest trees at this station.
This resolution was adopted by the
board Of directors and copies sent to the
regents Of the University at Berkeley
Resolved, That the welfare Of South
ern California demands the preservation
of the mountain water sheds. The only
serious damage to the mountain water
sheds and government reservations in
this part of California is due to fire. For
est fires diminish the water holding
power Of the mountains, diminish the
summer flow of springs and streams
and increase torrent and flood action.
Resolved, That we believe a system Of
management with forest patrol Is an
immediate essential for the safety Of the
large horticultural, farming and city
population of our valley.
Resolved, That we invite your co-op-
Grafton in securing such management
for our mountain forests.
These resolutions were adopted by the
board of directors and copies ordered
sent to the president Of the United States,
the secretary of the interior and the SEN
| ators and representatives Of California.

HIS MONEY RETURNED

Some weeks ago at Westlake. park Po-
lice Officer Calhoun placed under arrest
one William e. Borchering, whom he
claims to have found acting improperly
Borchering prevailed on the officer to
accept 81 as security for his appearance
in the police court next morning, and this
fact, coupled with the distress of the
lady who accompanied the accused, in
fluenced the officer, so he says, to re-
lease the prisoner. Borchering never
turned up. The officer afterward de-
cided to turn the money over to the
mayor or the chief OF police, but both of
those officials declined to receive it. 1t
was then placed with Secretary Men
denhall Of the park commission, who as
certained the addres OF Borchering and
forwarded the money to him at Ell Paso,
Texas. Secretary Mendenhall has just
received an acknowledgment of the re-
cipt Of the money.
