READY To SUBMIT IT.
Charter Commission VIII Sign
Amendments Tonight

A meeting for the charter commits
sion has been called for this evening,
when it is expected that the amend
ments that have been agreed upon will
be signed, resolution passed asking
the city council to call special cleo
ton to act upon the amendments, and a
second resolution formally submitting
them to the mayor and the city council
One interesting question will be set
tied. The commission has adopted an
amendment increasing the allowance
for the street and sewer fund from
$4,000 to $17500 and City Engineer
Rundlett has submitted a petition bear
ing the required number of names ask
ing that the amount be made 5000, 900.
Some of the commissioners have ex-
pressed the opinion that the two
amendments should be submitted as
alternative propositions, while others
believe that only the amendment sub
mitted by the engineer should be placed
before the people.
1t is likely that there will be some
discussion as to the provision giving
women the right to vote on the free
text book proposition, as the members
of the council expect they will be re-
quested to make provision for the votes
of the women.
