strumsnt Against Attacks.

From The World OF Saturday:
Pursuant to announcement a pub
lie meeting was held in Firemen's
hall yesterday afternoon at 3.3(
o'clock to which citizens had been in
yitei TO hear the new city charter
read A goodly number attended the
meeting including some fifteen per
sons who objected TO the charter
for one reason or another.
The charter commission was rep
resented by committee OF five gen
tlemen and the charter was read by
Attorney Clarence e. Martin, secre-
tary of the commission. 1t is notable
that those who came to protest
against the charter or part thereof
In their own behalf live outside of
the present city limits and one, Mr..
John ]. Hetzel, lives outside of the
proposed boundary line on the south
side, though he has important inter-
ests inside the corporation.
Attorney II. Fl. Em1nert appeared
in behalf of certain citizens in Frank
enberrytown and vicinity who pro-
test against being incorporated in
the city ON account Oh their distance
from it at present and the small
benefit they expect to derive from
Mr. Hetzel protested against the
charter because the people had not
been afforded sufficient tine TO care
fully consider the same in all it's
phases and how 1t would effect those,
who were to be annexed
to the city, many of WHOM. he said
were opposed to it on the grounds
mentioned. Mr. Hetzel had in mind
evidently some people on the Doom
for whom he was the no@thpiece.
1t is noteworthy .faot that the
objections to the chatter were based
for the most part n the proposed
boundary lines alone except Mr..
VIM. Westrater who objected to the
boundary lines in the fifth ward
The meeting was enliyeaed by
rather heated tilt between Mr..
Martin ana Mr.. Emmrt, but the for
mer was able to answer every OBJ
lection to the charter without hest
fancy.
