council were unanimous in the opinion
that the change should be made but
under the present charter the council
has no authority TO order any change in
the names Of the streets. As the charter
needs amending in some respects it is
probable that the needed change may
be soon made. The council EXPRESSED
itself as favorable to the change as pro.
posed.
Councilman Haskins, chairman Of a
committee appointed to investigate
means Of obtaining water for fire pro-
lection, requested and was granted
further time in which TO complete the
report.
The following bills were allowed; A.
Morris, t5.40; N. i. McGrew, $3.50
q. II. Binns, 1850; +. Fetsch, 5Oc ;
Tom Smith, 81 So; Il. W. Kuykendall,
s2.S5; B. Mench, $3.50; Hair-Riddle
Hardware Co.. $26 S5.
The saloon bond OF Il. Kienlin was
presented and found correct and the
license was ordered Marshal Bell said
that it was necessary for HIM to be
absent for few days and asked that
some one be appointed as police officer
during his absence. J. N. Bacon was
appointed.
]. Il. Kerley requested that his time
for moving the Schalhorn building from
its present location might be extended
until the streets were in a better con
dltion. The request was granted.
Geo. Altpeter spoke in behalf Of the
sidewalk on Third street, the petition
for which had been found defective and
the matter referred to committee. It
was moved to advertise the building Of
the walk. The council was then ad
ourned.

The Charter.

A new charter for the city Of Grants
Pass, designed for presentation at the
present session Of the legislature is now
being prepared for publication aud
copies will be ready for distribution in
side OF day or two.
A number Of important changes from
the old charter have been made, among
them the following being perhaps the
most noteworthy; property quali6ca'
tion for voting bonds; appointment Of
police judge and city attorney by the
mayor changing time OF city elections
from May to December; registration
and use Of the Australian ballot system
In city electionsi completer provisions
fot regulating the saloon business Civ
ing the council full power to "reguate
or prohibit" There is rumor abroad
that the charter is a prohibition mea.
sure. As matter Of fact, the pro-
visions in regard to saloons differ little
from our laws already In force.
Another wild iumor In persistent
circulation is to the effect that the
charter was held up till the last minute
be rushed through before the people
could find out what II was. No iounda-
ton whatever appears for this idea.
The matter Of preparing the new charter
was placed in the hands Of the judiciary
committee and city attorney several
weeks ago. Those who read the charter,
n)te the length OF it and realize the
stupendous amount Of labor which its
arrangement represents will cease to
wonder that it took some time to pre-
para. When II Is considered that these
gentlemen worked absolutely without
compensation and that their time was
well taken up with their own business
the criticism seems to bear strong
flavor Of ingratitude, Al the veiy
earliest moment possible, even before
the work ia fully completed, the charter
is being published aud there is plenty Of
time yet to get 1t properly before the
legislature.
The new charter Is very strong and
greatly needed document. Copies will
be distributed inside OF day or two
and it can then be iutellgeatly discussed
and criticised.
