CHARTER REVISION.

|. For long time there has been
a growing conviction that the Sauk
Centre city charter was radically
defective and inadequate. There
are provisions in it which are
equivocal and others impossible of
application. The duties of the
council are ilI-defned in many par
ticulars and limited in others.
Taken all in all there is broad mar
gin for improvement, and the only
way to correct the numerous de-
fects is by such thorough revision
as will practically amount to a COM
plet" new charter. To that end the
ci.. council requested Alderman
Bennett to take the steps preliml-
nary thereto, by circulating Pc
tition for the signatures of eight
per cent. of the legal voters, as re-
quired by law, requesting the dis
trict judges to select commission
of fifteen freeholders to frame a
charter.
The names suggested for the
comission by the council are, in
tn order recorded: Chas. F. Hen
otyx, Geo. c. Ingram, c. H. Ben
nett, S. Pendergast, M. c. Kelsey,
L. R. Barto. M. Hogan, N. H. Miner,
D. Wilcox, w. S. Dean, P. Lamb,
c. M. Sprague, L. Kelis, E. J.
Lewis and j. F. Cooper. 1t is the
purpose to get charter ready for
submission to the people at the
election to be held in April. 1t
will require the affirmative vote of
four seventh of all cast to adopt
the charter when submitted.
There is a feeling that the i'm
mediate prospects of Sauk Centre
are most encouraging. Both pub
lie and private enterprise is being
aroused, and there are a number
of Improvements which will be
made within the next year or two,
and it is quite necessary that they |
be not hampered by charter
which is not satisfactory.
The commission held its first
meeting on Wednesday evening,
and the work will be followed up
with vigor.
LATERAL the meeting on
Wednesday evening it was dis
covered that certain legislation now
pending is necessary before a
charter can be framed. 1t will be
to get it ready for SUBJ
mission at the April election, but
special election will be held.

Charge Dismissed.

In recommending that the charge against
Policeman Dennis ODonoghue of entering
a barroom attached to a brewery and re-
naming therein twelve minutes be dismiss
ed, Chief Sylvester today requested the
Commissioners to dispose of the matter
without prejudice to the sergeant who made
the charge. WHO should, the chief believes,
be commended for vigilance in the matter.
Chief Sylvester also states that although
the charge is dismissed because the officer
was found not guilty by the trial officer, 1t
should be understood by officer O'Dono-
ghue that 1t is well for members of the
force to place themselves above suspicion
in such matters. All of which the Commits
sioners have approved.
