AN !
! AWAIT ACTION.

rhc advocates of the new city charter
are deeply interested in the movements
of the Legislature in the next four days
with respect to the bills which were
presented several weeks ago by Repre-
sentative Baynard in the House and
Senator McNulty in the Senate.
Sentiment for the passage of the new
city charter and its submission 10 the
people at the city election for approval
is growing. Many PERSONS who hereto
fore have treated the subject lightly,
have been impressed with the fairness
of the proposition of the Trainers of the
charter to have apopular vote as to
its acceptance.
The advocates of the bill urge that
some relief must be afforded the city
quickly. siIce it is practically bank

those for pal tisans but the whole people.

The local government, it is held, is in

The new charter bin would simplify
the methods of conducting municipal
affairs. II would reduce the number Of
office holders and eventually he say

salaries alone.
No action has yet been taken by either
branch Of the General Assembly and the
question is being asked why is action
held up? j
