the accumulation of an embarrassing

COUNCIL SETTLES
CHARTER DISPUTE
Bill for Edition Held Up for Year
by Berkeley Trustees Finally
Ordered Paid

BERKELEY, Nov. 30.-Nine hundred
copies of the new city charter have
been released from lock and key and
will now be distributed by the city of
Berkeley on account of the large de-
mand made for them on the city coun-
Gil.
The bill for the printing and bind
ing of the charters, amounting to $3.50,
was held UP by the old board of trus-
tees and the city auditor and the new
council only acted on the bill today
Only $1s5 of the sum mentioned was
ordered paid, however. as C. A. Muir
dock & Co. of San Francisco have
agreed to release the books for that
sum.
The former board gave l.. r. Phil
lips permission to have the charters
printed with annotations by him, but
Phillips is said to have entered into a
contract with the San Francisco firm
and submitted the charter to them
without consulting the trustees.
The old board refused to listen to
Phillips and the new council only acted
on the matter after a conference with
the printers.
Among other matters considered by
the council was the formal receipt of
notice given that the city was a party
to suit over the Peralta grant in the
United States courts.
The council reduced the salary of
City Attorney Frank d. Stringham
from s225 to 5000 by mutual agree
ment.
