We are Still Under Old Charter.

Intendant Brown, by instructions OF
Council, went to Columbia to get the
Attorney Generals opinion in regard
to the status of our town charter, ana
to ascertain whether or not we are now
under the general Incorporation Act.
It will be remembered that we have al
wavs contended that before a town
could surrender its charter and come
under the provisions of the general
Act the matter would first have to be
submitted to the voters of the town
after due notice. In this opinion we
are sustained by the written opinion OF
the chief law officer of the State. The
opinion is as follows:
DEAR SIR: You request to be advised upon m
the following question: Whether town OF be-
tween one thousand and five thousand lnhaolt-
ants chartered by the General Assembly prior
to 1895 is now under the operation OF the gen
eral corporation law in reference to charterlng
towns and cities Of that size y Stat, 81, oy VT
tue Of an Act to be found in p Stat, page 4o4,
and il not what must be done to BRING tne
town under the operation OF tne iormer Act:
The first Act provided for the incorporation
of towns and cities and. as an incident
thereto invests them with taxing powers,
police regulations, administrative ofhcerS, etc.
The later Acts endow all municipal corpora
tionS with the powers enumeratea IN .ne @ ms
Act. These powers beng in addition to those
already enjoyed by the municipalities. rms
Act does not affect the charter Of the munich
palities but simply adds to such the powers
Stated in the general incorporation Act Hence
q town operates under its own charter, as there
in empowered and directed, and has IN ADDITION
thereto such extra powers as granted Dy toe
general Act. The old charter is, Of course, Stlll
Of force and its provisions must be followed.
Then If there are separate additional powers in
the general incorporation lawlthey can be taken
advantage Of. The Supreme Court, in Hill VS..
CITY council, 50 S. c., 396 treats Of this Act, In
cooperating in his opinion very full decree by
Judge Aldrich.
II the town desires to operate under caar-
ter unSer the general incorporation law it can
surrender it's charter after an election submit
ting the question to the qualified votes OF the
town on twenty days notice, provided IN Sec
tion e5 Of the General Incorporation

Town Election.

There seems to be little interest in
coming town election, but unfortunate
", it is confined to very few individ-
uals. Everybody should become inter-
ested. The individuals VINO are inter-
esting themselves may be unselfsh in
their desire to elect certain men, but
whether they are or not, it is no reason
for the people who will have to pay the
town taxes to remain Indifferent till the
active few succeed in electing a ticket.
If they wait after the election has been
held, there will be no sense IN dong
any grumbling. because OF the fact that
men are elected that you are opposed
to. The various tickets published so
far do not amount to anything, II the
people desire to name a ticket, these
published tickets are simply an eX-
preston of an individual or perhaps IN
an instance, the expression OF few IN
dividuals. What is wanted to get at a
wish of the people, is for the lntendant
to call for a town mass meeting, and at
said meeting let the affairs of the town
be discussed; the Improvements pro-
posed, the probable cost, and whether
the people are desiring of being taxed
any more than at present. Then when
these matters have been disposed of,
let nominations from Mayor down be
made. and let the nominees selected at
this mass meeting be the ticket to be
voted on election day. If the 1ntendant
calls mass meeting and the citizens
do not take advantage OF it, the fault
will be theirs and they cannot complain
if ticket not to their liking is nomi-
mated. In the larger towns a primary
IS held, but in towns Of this size mass
meeting is sufficient and should be sat
isfactory.
We are not interested in any proba-
BILE candidate, but as taxpayer we de-
sire to see the town under a wise, safe
and an economical administration.
