CHANGES IN THE CHARTER
POSSIBLE RESULT OF THE ATTITUDE
OF THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY
TOWARD THE BOND
ISSI-ES

The action Of the Municipal Assembly In holding
ND bond issues for needed public improvements
which have been authorized by the Board OF EstI-
mate and Apportionment has caused considerable
discussion as TO changes E the city charter that
are needed prevent such interference with the
oity's business. There probably will be recon-
mendations by the Mazet Committee for legislation
on the subject and Il is expected that the advice Of
Controller COer and some other prominent Demo-
Gratis will be followed in plans to deprive the Mu-
ncipal Assembly of its present power TO hold up
bond issues and block public improvements
Il has been recalled that ex-Mayor Gilroy who
was member OF the Charter Commission was op-
posed strongly 20 the plan favored by William c.
De Witt who drew the legislative chapter Of the
charter. for a Municipal Assembly to be composed
OF an upper and lower house. and TO have great
powers over appropriations OF money for improve
ments. Mr. Gilroy cOntended that the Board Of
climate and Apportionment was the proper body
20 control the financial affairs Of the city and he
warned his colleagues on the Charter Commission
that the men elected TO the Municipal Assembly
would not be OF the kind to be intrusted with such
control Mr.. Gilroy's advice did prevail. and
the Charter Commission adopted the provision
which gave to the Municipal Assembly joint juris-
diction with the Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
one Of the arguments in support Of Mr. De Wits
,,ar AZ me time the charter was framed was that
70 reople. knowing thai the Councilmen and
Aldermen would have greater powers in financial
Affairs would elect high-class men such offices
How little there was in such an argument has been
demonstrated by the acknowledged inability OF
some Councilmen and Aldermen now in office TO
understand the simplest financial questions brought
10 their attention and by their personal unhtness
N hold any office. Some of the members OF the
Municipal Assembly have been reported 10 he in
combination 10 block public improvements for their
own personal gain.
Controller Coer not In the city yesterday.
and neither was Corporation Counsel Whalen
Nothing therefore. done about the institution
Of mandamus proceedings TO compel the Municipal
Assembly 10 act the bond issues. 1t Is thought
unlikely that anything will be done until after
TUESDAY, when the Assembly Will meet again, and
r.orsihlX some of the issues will be passed.
