revision convention. Such is not the
fact. The charter revision convention
approved only the nine amendments
numbered on the petition from to IL,
as followss
(s) Australian ballot and majority
elections; (10) alternative amendments,
to remove party names from the ballot;
Old the initiative, referendum and re-
call; C2) empowering the city to buy
street railroads; G3) establishing con-
ditions for the grant of franchises;
90 extending the age limit for certain
employees to 80 years; f15) raising the
salary of supervisors to 5000 a month

empowering the supervisors to con-
struct tunnels and forbidding grants of
exclusive privileges to use them.
Owing to the great expense of cir
culatfng petitions and the large num-
Der OF signers required. the charter re+
vision conventions campaign commit
tee agreed with the similar committee
from the municipal civil service EN-
ployes to combine their forces for the
sole purpose of securing sigma lures.
The charter revision convention is in
no way responsible for the amendments
proposed by the civil service employees
association; nor is the latter in any
way answerable for the amendments
proposed by the convention. The voters
are expected to examine each amend
ment on its merits and to adopt or
reject 1t as they see fit. Very truly
