AMENDMENTS TO
CHARTER EXPLAINED
Representatives of Civic League
and Experts Consider the
Proposed Changes

Representatives of the civic league
discussed with Expert II. A. Mason and
Clerk w. r. Hagerty of the board of
supervisors yesterday the effect of the
SO charter amendments which will be
voted upon November 15. Attorneys
Joseph Rothschild, Adams and Marshall
for the league and Expert d. M. Ha-
gans of the Merchants association re-
viewed with the boards representatives
the amendments submitted at its initia-
tive, finding some objection to the ones
comforting the right upon the board to
exceed the 81 limit for permanent i'm
provement purposes; to use the weekly
Municipal Record for the public print
ing and to sell or transfer public lands.
1t was explained to them that the
purpose as well as the scope of the last
amendment was to directly empower
the supervisors to exchange the outside
Yosemite park lands owned by the city
for those in Hetch, Hetchy owned by
the federal government. Further, that
the single publication in the Record
would suffice, as nobody ever reads the
five day publications in the official
paper except those especially inter-
ested. The practical lifting of the 81
limit in the tax amendment was
claimed by Mason and Hagerty to be
necessary, as demonstrated by the last
four years financial history of the city
and was shown to be purely for the
purpose of making permanent improve
ments, building construction or street
repair.
The civic leagues representatives
were partly convinced of the wisdom
of the changes suggested by the
board and will issue a statement to
the voters covering the scope of all
the 80 amendments submitted. The
boards own summary of the effect of
the several proposed changes will be
ready for distribution to the voters
soon.
