|fDlTIONOF CHARTER
|. MAY Be DESTROYED
Berkeley Board Will Be Asked
to Refuse Payment on Vol
umes and Burn Them

BERKELEY, June 2S.-If the recon-
mendation Of City Auditor M. L. Hans
com is followed by the board of trustees
the entire edition of the new charter
recently ordered printed by the board
at cost of $3.50 will be destroyed.
The books have caused the board and
city authorities more trouble than any
other set In the last five years and
their destruction will be probably or
dered to prevent further difficulty.
The board awarded the work of an
rotating the charter to L. Ernest
Phillips, a lawyer of this city. Be-
fore the bill was paid or the book ac-
cepted by the board, Phillips had sent
more than 100 to various cities
throughout the United States.
This was discovered by the trustees
when settlement was asked by Phil
lips, and they further discovered that
he had taken credit for municipal
seal devised by Mayor Francis Terrier.
Today it was discovered that Phil
lips had arbitrarily numbered the vari-
Gus sections contrary to the number
ing on the official charter.
Hanscom will ask that the books be
destroyed and that Phillips be allowed
only his personal expenses for the
work.

to Display Caution

about the bay declined to bid for con-
tracts to supply the county with drugs
for the year, and today when the board

firms refused to take risk of losses.
The question will be discussed at a
fater session.
Contracts were let as follows today
after opening of bids:
The Pacific fuel and the Western fuel
companies and p. C. Frederickson were
awarded contracts to supply coal. Jo-
