DECIDES
TO AMEND
CHARTER
oontinu.d d from paee one.

COnNhnutu from pnKe one.
Chief deputies and second deputies of
city departments, unskilled laborers, in
cluding teamsters and artisans of a
special craft. may be exempt from civil
service when demanded by the head of
department and approved by a two
thirds vote of the council.
No member of any commission of ap-
pointive officers may be removed from
office during the term for which they
are appointed except for unwarranted
neglect of duty, malfeasance in Office or
incompetency.
Adopted by the Council
Dlvested of their legal verbiage and
boiled down to plainest terms, the
above are the amendments to the char
ter that the council yesterday voted to
present to the people at the next NUM-
cipal election, December 4, 1906
These were the amendments recon-
mended by the charter amendment
committee appointed by the council
last week. This committee consisted of
A. B. Cass, c. D. Willard, A. S. PETER
son, Charles D. Silent and Arthur Har-
per. All passed the council by vote
of six for and one against, Houghton
uelllS Tic SOllldfy LleHlDeT present WHO
opposed any of them, and he opposed
them all.
As to Franchises
The street railway franchise amend
ment is to take the place of the one
voted on by the people two years ago
limiting franchises to twenty-one years.
By making all franchises expire in
January, 1910, the committee has sug-
gested a plan making 1t possible for all
existing franchises to expire at prac-
tically the same time and gives the city
right to assume control of all at the
end of the next thirty three years.
At the end of that time the people
have the right to vote on the question
of whether the franchises shall be ex-
tended for a period or whether the city
shall own aid control them munich
pally.
When the amendment was introduced
Increasing the salaries of the city en-
gineer, health officer and secretary Of
the board of public works, Houghton
and Healy made a strenuous move to
have the salaries of the members of the
council increased also. Houghton at
rai-ed from 800 month to $3.50, but
finally he agreed to allow it to go be-
fore the people at 5000 monthly. These
two councilmen were the only ones to
vote favorably on the measure, and
Healy'S support grew weak when he
learned that such an amendment would
not be effective until after the enxt
three years.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-03
ExpIaIned by willard

y. u. wizard, a MEMBER OF the char-
ter revision committee, told the council
that the committee had agreed that the
salary of every elective official was en-
tirely too low, but he pointed out that
If an amendment were voted on to in
crease the salaries of elective officials
at the next election they would not be-
come operative for three years, while
the state legislature this year is ex-
pected to pass a bill permitting free
holders charters, such as Los Angeles
possesses. to be revised at the will of
the people and without action of the
state Legislature. When this time ar
rives, Mr.. Willard declared, the city
can revise it's charter entirely and all
elective officials may be given a hori-
zontal increase in salary. The salaries
of appointive officials may be changed
at any time.
In giving the board of public works
the privilege of using bond money and
conducting its work without action by
the council the board will be placed on
the same plane as the school board, the
water commission, the library commits
sion and other city departments that
operate independently of the legislative
body, although part of the city gov
ernment.
Red Tape Is Cut
This will also relieve the board of the
necessity of asking the council and wa
ter commission to approve every little
thing that is done on the Owens river
and will cut away yards of what is con-
sidered unnecessary red tape,
The amendment providing for the dis
bursting officer is for the purpose of per-
mitting the board to name a man, who

the men employed in constructing the
Owens river conduit in the valley or on
the desert, wherever they may be
working. To compel the workmen to
come all the way to Los Angeles as
would be necessary under the present
system, would mean a costly loss of
time and require twice as many en-
ployes to do the same work.
Five members to constitute a quorum
of the board Of education will relieve
that body of a great difficulty under
which ii now labors when six members
are required. There are but seven
members of the board, but in order to
transact any business six must be pres
ent at meeting. There are nine mem
bers of the city council, but only six
are required for a quorum.
