NEW CITY CHARTER
Sunday Selling Provision Is Only
One That Meets with OBJ
lection from Citizens.

TIL proposed new city charter, the
provisions of which were made public
at the meeting of the charter commits
sion Friday night, is meeting with the
approval of the prominent citizens, to
all of whom the idea of the centraliza-
tien of municipal government appeals
strongly.
Some of those interviewed are opposed
to the provision of the charter which
leaves the granting of Sunday liquor
selling licenses in the hands OF an ex-
else commission Of three members, but
in all other ways the charter gives gen.
eral satisfaction. Among the opinions
on the charter expressed by the city's
w~eIl-known men are the following:
Praise from senator Osborne.
State Senator Harry V. Osborne
ITO my mind, the proposed new city
charter. in the main, is very good,
something that We have been wanting
for some time. OF course, there are
several provisions and features that
will have to be eliminated before it is
all that We want, but this will come
later. a bad feature in the charter,

The Rny Dr Janos Vance nastor
Of the North Reformed Church-"T am

selling, and the proposed new city
charter clearly gives the power of
opening the saloons on Sunday to a
three-headed Excise Commission. This
Is wrong, and l don for a minute be
heve that it will pass the Legislature
in its present form. Otherwise it meets
with my approval, for am an advo-
Benedict Prieth, a member of the
Board of Education-"rhis proposed
new city charter appeals to me,
and ought to work out all right.
! believe that it is a step in the
right direction. l have studied local
conditions thoroughly, and am in a po-
sltion TO know WHEREOF | speak. The
provisions of. one-headed commissions
is an excellent feature, for then if any
thing goes wrong, persons will know
exactly where to place the blame.
The charter itself is for better excise
conditions, and will eventually give the
voters something that they have been
wanting for some time, n in my
opinion ought to haVe-home rule. 1t
is now up to the voters to respond. /
hope that the thing will be threshed
u thoroughly for the good OF every
one concerned
