Attorney IretteL Eight members, a
quorum of the fifteen members, were
present.
The charter commission may pre-
sent any amendment to the charter,
or Eve per cent Of the voters may
petition the commission to submit an
amendment, in which case it must be
submitted.
There was some discussion of the
matter. Sons thought there would
have to be several amendments, 50
that other parts of the charter would
correspond if the change was made.
Mr.. Tanner was afraid the amend
msnt would mean that all the public
works would ~-be done by day labor if
the council had the option proposed,
and said past experience was that day
labor was too expensive. Others
agreed with Mr.. Tanner on the
ground that the contract system was
the cheaper.
The mayor thought the city should
have the privilege that every business
man or anybody else enjoys-that of
having work done BY contract or not.
whichever he desired. The city should
have the freedom to exercise it's judg-
ment, and not be restricted in the
matter. Collusion between contfac.

was not BY any means al improbable
thing. Ono way Of guarding against

would give the oity power to decide

by contract or not; 1T by contract, It
would still give them power, the bids
being unsatisfaotory. to drop the con-
tract plan, and 60 on with the work

done any contractor. a. he risks moth
Ing till his contract is approved.
Other phases of the matter were
touched on. and 40 no amendment had
been drafted, it was decided to ad-
journ to Feb. 4th, the CITY attorney
in the meantime endeavoring to have
the amendment drafted.
The proposed amendment must be
published thirty days before election.
