I have foi. lowed in the press the reports of Judge Doan's and Judge Nave's de cision in regard to the enforcement of city ordinances by means of criminal prosecution aud can see where it is on this account if for no other reason to adopt the new law.
 q understand that the mayor and council of Bisbee have had a number of copies of the new jaw printed and mailed to every taxpayer ia the mu- nicipality. This I think is very wise course, which will be beneficial if the taxpayers in turn will cooper ate, and study the measure thorough ly- If the people will realize what an important matter this is. and give 1t their attention I do not think there is the slightest doubt but that on cleo ton day the charter will be adopted by large majority.
 "Once the new charter Is adopted and put into practice then will be the time to study the various defects and when the legislative assembly meets the next time have them remedied.
 q hope that the matter will be given careful attention as I take 2 great interest in the law, and believe that it will not only remedy the va rious shortcomings of the present in cooperating law, but will give a muni cipal government poser to operate a modern city to the best advantage of the taxpayers

BAILEY TALKS Oh CHARTER
 LAW
Speaker of Lower House of Legislature Discusses Mat ter of incorporating Measure in Favorable Terms,

Among the passengers outbound yesterday morning was Speaker Neil Bailey, of the lower house of the Twenty-FOurth legislative assembly. He spent Tuesday evening in the city attending to matters of business.
 When seen by Review reporter and asked for statement in regard to the ney charter law, which he in- troduced during the last term of the legislative assembly, and had passed owing to his influence Baiey said:
 I feel a great interest in the new charter law, as 1t was really meas ure fathered in Cochise county, and l was requested b. some of the fore most citizens of Bisbee to introduce the measure Before bringing the Dill to the attention of the lower house. I went over 1t carefully, and in several instances found portions which I would have liked to change but as they were minor points, and seemed to have been formulated by men who had looked into the matter thoroughly, I come to the conclusion, that the wisest course was to get the measure before the representative of the people, and abide by their de cision.
 '.Of course anyone acquainted with the great mass of bills which ac- cumulate .during 6 session of the legislature, can easily see the task of getting this measure, which was so vital to almost every city of any i'm portance in the territory. put on final passage was difficult, and it was necessary to concede ones own opinion in smaller matters to obtain reief On some of the greater items engaging the attention of the various cities.
 Although I will concede that there are some flaws of trivial nature in the new law, owing to the fact that Legislators are human beings and can not hope to enact laws which will be absolutely perfect, yet maintain that these points are of absolutely no i'm fortance compared with. the great
