City Attorney Preparing Opinion
to Place the Matter Before
the Council, and May Go to
Direct Vote of the People.

The liyeat issue in city politics has
been sprung BY an initiative petition
fled at the last meeting of the city
council to amend the charter on the
matter of appointing the water board
The city has adopted public owner
ship of city water and the charter
amendment adopted by the people
contains provision for election of
four members of the water board by
the city council. These four water
commissioners and the mayor will be
the water board. The terms of the
water board named by the council are
for four years, and they are contin-
uous body, and not subject to the re-
call. The initiative petition filed
with the city recorder aims to change
the manner of selecting the water
board, by making II consist OF three
members, and all three named by
the mayor, and to hold during his
term, so that each mayor will be re-
sponsible for the water board during
his term. This board proposed is to
be non-partisan, and not more than
one to be Of the same political party
Referred 60 City Attorsey.
The city recorder laid this petition,
signed by 1877 names from all parts
OF the city, before the council, and
Il was referred to City Attorney Cor
by, and he is getting up an opinion
on the same. He finds that, accord
ing TO an ordinance adopted June,
1910. the petition was filed II days
too late. II was filed October ~,
and section six OF the ordinance pro-
vides that II must be filed 60 days be-
fore the city election to be submit
ted. Section 10 OF the ordinance is
In harmony with section 10 of the
state law governing the initiative and
provides that the city council may
within 80 days before the city election
December 8, submit an initiative pc
tition to the voters at the general
city election. The council has no au-
thority by ordinance to set aside pro-
visions OF the general law of the
state. giving the citizen the right of
the initiative and referendum, which
are also guaranteed under tho con-
stitution. City Attorney Corby is In
ciined to take the citizens side OF
this matter.
Power of Recall Involved.
The initiative petition is signed by
many OF the property owners, who
take the position that they do not
want a water board that is so far re-
moved from the control of the peo'
pie as the one proposed by the char
ter amendment proposed by the coun'
ell 20 the people and adopted by them
They say they were voting on public
ownership, and not on methods OF
administration and that is still to be
settled. They say they want "A water
