Proposed Amendment to New York
City's Charter.

New York, Oct. 2.-ShouId the charter of
New York city be amended in line with
pointed BY Governor Roosevelt. there viii
De radical change in the local govern
ment OF Greater New York
The commission will meet today to dis
cuss and pass upon the work of the sew
erai suo-committees. 1t is said on good
autnority that the members Of the com
mission. with two exceptions, are a unit
upon all questions. and that the radical
will be sent to Governor Roosevelt be-
fore December with the approval Of the
commission, the minority agreeing to sign
the report.
The main proposal IS to give each Dor
ough local self-government in the man
agement of street cleaning, police, fire
water supply. parks, highways and street
ton that the heads of these departments
shall be appointed by the presidents OF
the several boroughs, thus giving local
home rule in a broad sense to the voters
Of each subdivision Of the city. Under this
arrangement the taxpayers would be q BILE
to hold their local officials and not the
mayor responsible. but the change also
would have far-reaching effect in polits
ical issue.
There IS a unanimity on the proposition
% abolish the municipal assembly and to
c board of aldermen composed Of two
men from each assembly district in Great
or New York. or in all 120 aldermen
The revision commission viii bring in
plan to subdivide the assembly districts
the men to be chosen as near to the pso~
pie as possible. The revision committee
5000 voters will be reasonably responsive
TO public sentiment in nearly ali districts
Of the city. The aldermen will be elected
every two years. and the question of SAL
airy Is not yet settled. They viii have a
large measure of legislative power.
It Is estimated that the heads of / 900
office holders will be Topped of, and near
" 81. coo 600 a year will be saved in ssl-
aries should all the proposed amendments
to the charter prevail
The plan for borough home rule and the
creation Of 120 aldermen are the really
radical changes proposed.
