BENNETT ACTIVE FOR
MUSKOGEE CHARTER
Special to Dailv Leader.

Special to Daily Leader.
MuskOgee, Okla, April 22.-Mayor
Leo t. Bennett introduced a resolu-
tion before the city council asking
that the charter of the city be changed
TO provide for . commission form OF
government instead of the present al
dermanic plan. His reason for this Is
that the city has SO much business
that IL Is impossible for the present
council members to look after the
city business and their own personal
affairs, and he proposes 10 call an
election to vote on the proposed
change of the charter at the same
time that the next bond issue cleo
ton Is held which will probably be
within sixty days
Mayor Bennett says that within the
next five years Muskoeee will spend
several million dollars for public i'm
prOyements and that IL should be
spent by men who are paid for their
time and who devote all their time
TO the citys business and are respon-
sible to the people At present the
members of the city council receive
only $50 per year for their services.
