Charter Discussion.

Mayor Andrews thought a new char
ter most essential.
AID Atchison favored an entirely
new charter commission, as the pres
ent commission would be apt to sub
nit charter very similar to the ones
voted down.
1t was stated that the commission
is appointed for definite time, but
suggestion was offered that the
commission could resign.
City Attorney Schmitt thought that
some of the present members should
be retained, so as to point out the
pitfalls and call attention to the
amendments that had been given great
thought.
The matter was laid over until the
next meeting, and the committee will
frame up with the city attorney some
thing definite to present to the coun-
ell.
The health officer was requested to
meet with the health committee and
city attorney to 60 over the ordi-
nance that he had presented regulat-
ing hotels and eating houses as to
cleanliness, morality, etc.
Amel Rosquist addressed the coun-
ell in favor of opening an alley near
his place and was informed that the
matter was in progress.
, The matter of printing the city en-
gineer's report in pamphlet form was
referred to the committee on printing
with power to act.
The bills were allowed and the coun-
ell adjourned early as two of the al
dermen had other engagements.
