: The New Charter.


= Our city readers will receive this
week with r b Q II er q d copy
of the proposed new charter. Al
though rather voluminous, it de-
serves perusal by every voter.
The document follows to great
extent the present charter, but ia
changed in several essential matters.
No change il made in number. du-
ties or salaries of officers, or in the
boundaries. There were many con-
tradictions and Inconsistencies in
minor details in the old charter.
which have been eliminat ted.
The new charter will give the coun-
ell power to issue bonds to fund the
floating debt, which at present is
nearly $4,000. 1t will not be pos
sible under the new charter to create
q floating debt, as the council can
not allow bill against any fund un-
less there is money in the treasury
to pay it.. The officers violating this
provision Are made individually lia-
BILE for the amount.
A valuable provision in the new
charter Is that which will give the
city power to anticipate its tax e.
ceipts, After a levy has been made,
in case funds are particularly needed
for temporary use, the council may
issue tax certificates, to run lin
tied time, to an amount so per cent
or less of the levy. When the tax
money comes in these certificates
must be paid, there being no option
in the matter. The action would lie
practically borrowing by the city
OF it's own funds.
The section relating to public i'm
provements is partly based on the
system used in St. Paul. A board of
public works is created, three men,
bers, to serve without salary. But
the council supervises and governs
tbs work of the board. When local
improvements arel made, it will be
possible in the future to..get at them
in a businesslike manner.
The provision OF most current in
tereet is the one giving| the council
power, should it be deemed wise, to 5
issue $40, 600 bonds to build q bridge.
across the Mississippi at Broadway.
The vote will show whether the peo-
pie want a new bridge or not.
After the charter isl adopted, all
future bond issues, must be sane
toned by the people.
And of tho best results of q new
charter is that by alive per cent pe-
riti IN Of the voters, changes may be
proposed and submittedlto the peo-
pie. Under the present charter this
is an impossibility.
Copies of the proposed charter may
be got from the city clerk, or at the
newspaper Offices.

S,i 900 900 in dividends.
Mr.. Chambers was also largely inter-

several years member of the state SEN
ate of Utah. and was interested in nu-
.,lerOus business enterprises in Salt Lake
City. His various interests included
.ruit growing in California and cattle

owner of great deal of real estate in

Until the organizatio of the Amalga

interest in all these properties. pre-

believe the bank bought that property;
so it is doubtful If Mr. Chambers had
any interests whatever in Butte at the
time of his death.
There was no question as to one thing.
and that is the faith Mr.. Chambers had
Iii the future of Butte. He told all his
friends here he did not believe there was
another camp in existence that could
compare with Butte. To show his faith
il is only necessary to add that he was
always willing to join in any enterprise
suggested by his business associates
here.
AT various times he had a great many
interests here. Among others he was
at one time extensively interested in the
Isaly Banking and Trust company, which
was then known as Hoge Brownlee & CO.
While not resident of this city. he was
Il frequent visitor here and was known
almost as well as Marcus DAILY himself

discussing the news Of the passing of

Mr.. Chambers came here from Salt

way in the development of the Alice

they were given shelter and protection
by the Catholic Celts.
The impression which the Irish chief
tain. Hugh O'Neill, made upon Queen
Elizabeth, and the story of how ne in
duced her to send lead over to Ireland
with which tc bIild his castles. furnished
an entertaining and amusing part of
the lecture. Instead of building castles
with lead. O'Neill cast the metal into
bullets, and before long Elizabeth had
a war upon her hands. Treachery again
defeated the Irish.
SO the story run along from the
Tudors to the Stuarts and up to Graf
tan's parliament, the act of union, the
rebellion of 1898. and the latter day at
tempts at home rule. Mr. Finerty's
closing was impassioned and dramatic.
ending with the recitation of an Irish
Poem.
The Meagher Guards acted as escort
to the orator and John Mcguire in a
procession to the Grand before the
lecture. "
