COMMITTEE BUSY
 ON NEW CHARTER
Good Progress Being Made and Con- nnitteemen Enthusiastic. Judge Bur- nett ard E. w. Lewis Added to Com mittee.

Another meeting was held last night of the city charter committee and the
 members present showed a great deal
 of enthusiasm over the public work in
 which they are engaged. They are go-
 ing about it systematically for the
 purpose Of obtaining the best results, and are making good progress.
 The temporary organization was
 made permanent, Frank AIkire. presi-
 dent, and Selim Nicholson secretary. The subcommittee appointed to secure copies of charters from other cities for comparison and study, reported the re-
 ceipt of several copies ana stated that
 others are expected daily. This com
 mittee consists of E. B. O'Neill, H. J.
 Lee and C. L. LaUver. Judge J. M
 Burnett and F. w. Lewis were added
 to the committee that their legal advice might be had in respect of the numer- Ous questions that will arise where there may seem to be a conflict of ideas, or of the interpretation of the law. The next buiness of the commit tee will be the perusal of the charters of other cities, that their good points may be incorporated where practical, in the draft of the new Phoenix char ter, or that their suggestion may lead to something covering the same ground more suitable to Phoenix. It is desir- ed that nothing important be overlook ed and with these for a guide there is assurance that the work will be thor Ough.
 It is bSiefed that a rough draft of what Phoenix needs, or a charter out line, will be secured at the next meet ing of the committee. Alter this has been worked out the draft will be sub mitted to some competent legal au- thOrity to determine in what respects if any, it is in conflict with the organic act, the statutes, or the court decis- ions. Should any be developed the
 weakness will be corrected at a sub sequent meeting.

LIMITED NUMBER OF LEelsLA-

EtRtl ED TNO VT TIVE CLERKS-The twenty fourth legislature is not going to be oyerrun with clerks who have been so numer- ous in the past as to get into the way of members and so obstruct legislation. There will be only as many clerks as are absolutely necessary this time. Governor Kibbey has the call and it has been announced that he will hold the attaches down to the number which will be required for the transaction of business. There is a federal provision for the payment of a certain number Of the clerks and it has been the prac- tice for generous members to make ap-
 prOpriatiOn for the payment of others
 until sometimes there have been as many as two clerks for each of the members. It has been stated that nu
 bill making an extravagant apprOpria-
 ton for this purpose will receive the
 governors approval
