NEW CASTLE. Marcn ~, lo3L
The general topic in New Castle last
evening was the new charter Mayor
Boyd in speaking of the affair said that
the best legal talent had furnished the in
formation that the present charter is no
good The city has no control over its
streets. The Mayor has no power If tested
and 1t Is about time that New Castle
people should do something to place the
city on solid footing.
j. Harry Rogers and John Fl. Martin
were also among the number Of those who
had good word to say of the proposed
charter, but felt that all those who had
any suggestions to make should make
them through the proper channel.
Other parties were found who did not
favor giving $4OO year salary to the
mayor. If he makes big fees then let him
keep the same. City council should not
be allowed to ride rough shod over the
people.
A man who owns his own house said he
paid $l4 year city tax and he could not
see how it would be reduced By the powers
to be vested in city council For years
past four men have received all the work
that has been done or the streets. There
have been hundreds of men who would
have been glad to do few days work dur
ing the past in order to pay the taxes on
their property but the same old standby's
had to be taken into camp.
The Legislature will be asked to add o
rider to the charter making it compulsory
on council to give minority representa-.
tion in the outlay of the money OF the city
on the Improvement of its streets. 1t Is
oil right for men to howl about progress
but whole lot of them never paid 81
of tax in their life time.
