CHARTER
FOR CAMDEN.
Bill As introduced Gives All
Cities a Chance TO Adopt IL
Of Local Interest.

TRENTON, Feb. 2S.-What is de-
scribed as a model city charter bill
was introduced in the legislature last
week. The measure is made applica-
BILE to all cities to escape the constitu-
tional prohibition against special leg
islation. but il is known as the Cam
den charter bill, being prepared to
meet the needs of that city.
1t is reported here that there will
be much opposition to the bill in
Camden, mainly on the ground that
it vests the mayor with too much
power. A radical departure from the
rule in cities the size of Camden is
that salaries are provided for the
members of the common council. A
regulation which will doubtless meet
with some disfavor is the II forbid
ding all public officials to accept free
transportation on trolley lines or 9TH
er public conveyances.
The bill is one of the longest and
most comprehensive measures ever
presented to the New Jersey legisla-
ture. 1t was introduced by Assem-
blyman Jones, one of the three Cam
den representatives in the lower
house, and was referred by Speaker
Robbins, to the committee on NUM-
cipal corporations, or which Assem-
blyman Scovel, of Camden, is chair
man.
