Revision Of the City Charter.

1t will be remembered that Mayor SAT-
ford, in his last inaugural address 10 the
city government, recommended the revi-
sion of the city charter. The mayor held
that unquestionably strong sentiment
prevailed in the city for certain changes
IN the city charter and particularly as
pertains TO the election of city officers.
He said: Il doubt not but that one of the
most unpleasant features which you gen.
tlemen referring to the city government
thus far have had to contend with. is the
pressure of those seeking for certain
ofices. We find this unpleasant condition
even pervading our caucuses, and at
times men are proposed for members of
the city council with no qualification but
that they will vote for this one or that
one.''
Continuing, Mr. Stafford said that

strong and earnest representations mad
been made to him. that this matter he
brought before the next Legislature, IN
the form of amendments to the city char
ter, whereby several OF these. Offices
which have become most disagrecable
should he voted upon directly by the peo-
pie. The amendments suggested follow:
rehabilitation by ine people Of the city
clerk. city marshal. street commissioner,
school committee ana assessors.
Second-'rhc adjustment Of the common
council.
Thrd--The adjustment OF the BOARD of
registration.
The proposed amendments have been
carefully considered and the Journal is
Informed that the city solicitor has bin
in preparation for Introduction at the
present session Of the Legislature. 1t IS
said that the bill will be ready within u
fortnight.
1t has been said that the only real argu-
ment in favor OF the existence of the
lower branch Of the city council is. that
It acts as 4 restraining influence on the
upper branch. tending thereby TO check
improper legislation. While this is I'M
loubtedly true in large cities, Mayor SAT-
cord believes that in this city, where the
officials are not far removed from the
people, that public sentiment is 4 power
'ul restraining influence, and acts in such
close touch with our city officials as TO
restrain and influence them. Much i'm
portant business is 0ftentmes retarded
by lack of quorums. and it is an undeni-
able fact that men have elected to these
high offices who. after the election Of the
subordinate officers was effected. took no
further interest in the affairs of the city.

their particular officer their fun duty had
been performed.
Those who have the Interests of me

sration is an expensive luxury. This de-
partment was created by the Legislature
and incurs an expense to the city of Sii

by the board of aldarTSn without com
pensation. 1t is thought that while this

THE BISHOP RACE.
Some Good Racing. the Soft Track Being
Taken Into Consideration.

In spite of the rainy weather, Tuesday,
about 200 enthusiastic horse admirers
gathered at the track of the Pine Tree

The track was rather soft, but in a fair

have been in excellent shape. The bank
ing of the track was very successful in
preventing all Slowing and other dangers.
Out of the nine entries only three
started. Probably some of those who in
| tended to start were kept away by the
stormy weather. The races were called
