These committees nave completed

When this is done ii is the plan of the
league TO call a mass meeting of all ill.,
terested Salt Lake business men at the
Commercial club AMI have the new
scheme fully explained and discussed.
1t is believed that with the interest
that is already being displayed in the
idea the proposed mass meeting will
kindle an enthusiasm thai VIII go TAR
toward securing legislative enact melt
of the bill that is to be introduced.
The two committees OF the Improves
ment league that have had the framing
OF the outline of the proposed new
charter in hand have worked with cop
les OF the Galveston. Tex, and Wash
ington, D. c., charters as guides. As
Orson II. Hewlett, member of the char
ter committee expressed it yesterday.
1--WE have taken the best from both
charters and added a few things we
believe will apply particularly we'll 10
cally.'
Plan Is Simple.
The plan as worked out by the I'm
provement league committee. IS simpli-
city itself. 1t provides for the election
Of three commissioners who are to form
the governing board Of the city. These
are to be elected at large, so that dis
trict precinct or ward fights will not
enter into their election.
These commissioners are to serve for
q term of 70 IT years. The only other
official to be elected is a controller Ac-
oording to the leagues plan. the con-
troller is to be elected for a four years
term, but is TO be elected two years for
the first term and thereafter every four
years, so that he will hold over from
one administration of the board OF conf
missioners to the next acting as a
check upon the board.
The commissioners and controller are
to be paid $1,000 year for their ser
vices.
The board of commissioners is to be
in continual session.
The board is TO appoint the city re-
corder, chief of police and other heads
of city departments.
A majority vote of the board of COM
missioners is to be final in all matters
This is the outline for the new char
ter that has been drawn I'D by the
league committee 1t is the merest out
line and there are numerous provisions
of more or less Importance to be filled
