BUILDINGS.

l. The present charter contains a
large number OF rules and regulations
providing the manner In which buildings
shall be constructed Under modern
methods of construction these rules, for
the most part, have become obsolete AS
regulations of this sort are subject to
frequent change, it has been thought
wise not to incorporate in the charter
any rules or regulations of this kind, but
TO provide that the mayor when the pro-
posed charter goes into effect, shall ap-
point committee of five persons, Of
whom two shall be architects, two build
ers and one master plumber, who shall
frame an ordinance regulating all mat
ters concerning the construction of build
ings, and propose the same to the COM
mon council. The city attorney and the
commissioner of public works are ex-
othcio members of this committee. If
the common council pass this ordinance
1t is thereafter prohibited from suspend
ing its operation IN particular instances
or amending 1t to suit particular cases
1t must always be of general application.
In case of subsequent provision of
building regulations, the common coun-
ell may authorize the mayor to appoint
a similar committee for the purpose of
advising the council on the matter.

markable for this climate when we have
not rented at least one house to a nom

made for residence houses, and even

price of building material and the I'M

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

l. The present charter provides that
not to exceed $4,000 a year shall be APP
propriated for the support Of the public
library. The library board is now or
ganized under a general law of the
state, the members are appointed by the
mayor, with the consent of the common
council. and have exclusive control OF
library property and matters. In the pro-
posed charter it is provided, first, that
such an amount may be raised as in
the opinion of the common council ia
necessary for the support Of the library:
second, in case a site for a new library
building is obtained and a h,,ildtne -
erected thereon at a cost of NOT less tha1
5000 600, from funds donated to the civ
Tor such purpose, then the city shall raise

THE PUBLIC FREE SCHOOLS.
No changes.

LIE / CDLNC FREE SCG1OOl1S.
l. Prior to 1889 the maximum amounts
which could be raised for support of the
schools under the existing charter were
such sums as accrued from tax levy of
212 mills; In addition to the amount de
rived from this levy there accrued to the
city, under the state laws, the proceeds
Of the 1-mill county tax and the city's
proportion of state funds devoted to the
purposes Of education. Owing to a de-
crease in the assessed valuation of all
property within the city, the amount ac-
cruing from the city and county tax levy
was very materially reduced, and the
schools were left without sufficient funds.
To remedy this evil general law was
passed in 1899, applicable to the city OF
st. Paul, authorizing the levy of an adj
dtt1onal tax for school purposes, net to ex-
coed a mill and half. AT first the SUI
prene court held this law to be uncon-
s1tutional, but subsequently, upon recon-
sideration, declared it to be valid. Both
the law providing for the 21s mills tax
and the law of 1899 have been Incorporated
in the proposed charter, authorizing a to-
tai maximum levy by the city of four
mills.
2 AS the proceeds of the additional tax
levy authorized under the law Of 1899 can
not be realized before the latter part of
1901, and as existing school buildings are
Inucn IN need or immediate repair, $7o,-
900 is authorized to be appropriated out
of the general fund in the year 1901 for
such purpose.
B. The provisions for revenue from the
tax levies authorized under the existing
laws, while ample, perhaps, as soon as
taxes derived from levy under the law
OF 1899 to produce sufficient revenue for
the present needs of the schools, is vet
inelastic, and, in the event Of a reduction
in the assessed valuation of property in
the city or a rapid increase in attend
ance, might lead to a recurrence of the
present inadequacy of school revenues.
Accordingly, the proposed charter pro-
vides that when the sums accruing from
taxation and from the state apportion-
ment are insufficient for the economical
support of the schools, an additional
amount may be set aside out Of the rev.
enue of the city derived from sources
other than taxation, provided the total
amount raised for the support of the
schools, exclusive of the cost and equip
old buildings, shall not exceed sum equal.
to $25 per capita, based on the average
daily. attendance in the public schools
during the preceding year. This latter
provision Is a general limitation upon
the entire amount which may be expend-
ed in any year for all school purposes
except cost of construction and equipment
of new buildings and additions to old
buildings.
4. No changes have been made in the
organization Of the school board or in
matters OF administration.

police department under the present char
ter is vested in the mayor, who appoints
all of the officers, with the concurrence
of the assembly, and makes all removals,
with the concurrence of both bodies of
the council. Those provisions authorized
arbitrary removal and frequent dead
locks have resulted between the mayor
and the council. Under the proposed
charter this power is taken from the
mayor and from the council and vested
in a ponce commission, composed of five
members. The first board shall be ap-
pointed by the next mayor. Members of
the board serve without compensation
and for term of five years The terms
of office of the said commissioners are
so arranged that a new member is APP
pointed each year. The commission has
general power to make regulations for
the police department, but no officer can
be removed except for cause and after q
hearing, at which the officer has right
to produce witnesses in his behalf.
Under the existing charter the council
may fix the number of police officers and
their salaries; under the proposed char
ter these matters are under the exclusive
control of the police commission, the
council merely having power TO appro
pirate the total amount TO be expended
by the commission.

STREET sPRINKL1Nc

The existing charter provides that the
city shall be divided into sprinkling dis
tricts and contracts let annually for do
Ing SUCH sprinkling within the districts
as shall be ordered by the common coun-
ell. The cost of the sprinkling is paid for
by special assessment upon the abutting
property The present system has re-
suited in great annoyance, injustice and
unnecessary expense, and it has been pro-
Vided that the cost of street sprinkling
should be paid for by the city without
making any assessment upon the prop
erty. The work may be done either by
contract or directly by the commissioner
of public works. The amount of money
that can be expended for street sprink-
ling is $4,000 annually. This amount is
slightly in excess of what it now costs
to do the work, after deducting charge
made for water by the water department
and the cost of collecting the assess
ments. The commissioner Of public
works Is required TO divide the city into
'sprinkling districts and to fix the ag-
gtegate number Of lineal feet to be
sprinkled in each district. He has no
power, however, to designate the particu-
1ar streets to be sprinkled. The common
council then determines which streets
shall be sprinkled, but cannot increase
the total amount of sprinkling in each
district over the estimates of the COM
missioner
