CHARTER ELECTION.

the election on the prop osltlon to
accept the city charter recently
drafted by the commission of 15
appointed by the judges of the
District Court and copies of which
have been freely circulated about
the city the past week.
The new charter offers many
points of superiority over the old
inasmuch us it regulates some
things that will prove of vast
benefit to the city. The commits
sion worked hard to get upa sys-
tenn of rules and regulations that
would fill the nneds of growing
city and the charter to be voted
on next Friday is the result.
The first change and one of I'M
portance is the change proposed
in the city clerks Office. Under
the new charter the clerk is to he
appointed and not elected. The
city council has the appointive
power. The change is made in
the following:
s'There shall be q city clerk,
who shall be appointed from time
to time by the city council to ACT
during the pleasure of said council
and until his successor is appointed
and qualified. Said appointment
shall be made at the first meeting
of the new members of the city
council after the general election
each year, or at any time there
after"
After enumerating the various
duties to be performed by the
city clerk the charter says:
ut shall he II part of the duties
of said city clerk to collect all
water and light rents as they shall
become due to said city and to
pay snch collections over to the
CITY treasurer monthly. He shall
devoto us mnole time 10 Iile cut
les of his said office, and shall keep
his of'.o $50 - 10 u rrc-'
business uodIS.
''rhe said city clerk shall re-
ceive rs compensation for his SER
vices to said city such sum as the
city council shall fix and determine
which sum shall not exceed sew
enty-five dollars per month.
Regarding the appointment of
city attorney the charter pro-
vides that the council may appoint
one if the council desires. The
compensation is fixed at $500 a
year instead of between $500 and
$1,000 as at present. The attor-
neyship has been a bone of con-
tention for several years. Many
were of the opinion that no regular
attorney was needed and the coun-
Gil during the past two years has
refrained from making the APP
pointment but has had the legal
work done by the piece. The saw
ing to the city has been nearly
$500 a year.
The treasurer's compensation
has been raised from 5000 to $40O
a year, a move that should meet
with the approval of all as the
treasurer has been very poorly
paid official.
The mayor and aldermen under
the new charter will receive $50
a year with no special privileges.
Their srlary now is $40 q year
with free light and water.
Many other changes are pro-
posed on which we have not space
to comment. Look the charter
over.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

AS long as the cold weather continues the
Butter market is likely to continue firm, and
it is possible that frmer quotations may re-
suit though a warm rain would probably
check any upward tendency Stocks though
still unevenly distributed, are moderate, and
the general market is very steady.
There is no change in Cheese. The export
demand is satisfied for the time being, but
the local demand is taking of the daily
receipts, which are rather light The market
shows no change in either direction.
Steadiness continues to characterize the Egg
situation and the prolonged cold weather is
cutting down the receipts. as will be seen. The
demand is very fair, and prices remain about
