WINSTON WILL HOLD A
 |C|TY COMMISSION CONGRESS-

gested that the first step necessary to complete rehabilitation of Calves ton was thorough reorganization of the city government. It was seen and understood as every keen observer knows, that an efficient city govern ment encourages the people, stimu lates them to activity, invites capital and creates prosperity. The Deep Water Committee, therefore, decided that there was an imperative neces- sity that the charter of the city be completely overhauled and applica- tion should be made to the state legis- ture for a new charter along broad CT and better lines, and that some ac- tion should be taken looking to compromise with the holders of the city's bonds, as to the interest on the outstanding bonds for period of five years.
 R. Waverly Smith. president of the First National Bank of Galveston, lawyer by training, and who, for four years prior to that time had held the office of city attorney, and who was a member of the Deep Water Committee. and now its chairman, suggested the appointment of con- mittee from the organization to thor oughly revise and rewrite the city charter. Accordingly sub-commis- tee of three from said organization was appointed, consisting of Mir. Smith, Col. Walter Gresham, jaw yer and a former member of congress and F. D. Minor, a lawyer of high character and splendid ability. This subcommittee procured copies of the charters of a number of cities, in cluding the law governing the city of Washington, D. C., copy of the act creating the taxing commission Tor Memphis. Tenn, after the g'eat yel- low fever epidemic of 1s7a and 2

They secured and paid for the ser. vices of board of three eminent en- gineers which resulted in devising plans for the great seawau and rais- ing the grade of the city, which have been completed at total cost to the city and county jointly of more than $4,OOO,OO0; they rebuilt the city hall; rebuilt the waterworks pumping sta- tion; extended the water system: built three engine houses; repaired the different engine houses over the city damaged by storm; repaved with brick the streets throughout the en- tire business section at cost to the city of $183,027O7; built rock and shell roads at cost of $1S1,064.0l: provided large amount of drainage at cost of $245.664.47; extende the sewer system and adjusted the ques- tion of interest on the bonded debt by obtaining reduction in the rate for a period of five years. Altogether $609,755.5S has been expended out of the general fund for paving, she'll roads and drains, with the exception of $48.088.07 which was obtained from sale of bonds. The city has al- so paid off number of old judg- ments, inherited from former admin istrations, aggregating $19.026.65 and retired $462,O00.O0 of the bonded debt -has purchased new fire engines and other equipment. The city employees have been paid promptly in cad6 and the summer seasons passed through without borrowing a dollar. All this has been accomplished without a bond issue or dollar of increased taxation, excepting the bonds issued for protective purposes.

 The commission feature of tho new charter were suggested and were drawn by MT. Smith, and the coa- trolling idea was the creation of a governing body which should con folm, as near as possible, to the organization of a great business cor pcration. providing the duties, sharp ly defining the responsibilities and through the heads of the various de- partments, concentrating both power and responsibility.
 In presenting the proposed char ter to the legislature tor adoption. the Deep Water Committee" issued a remarkable address, setting forth in strong language the urgent needs of Galveston. This address, which was written by R. Waveriy Smith, stated in part: We believe that mu- nicipal government as it has been administered in this community for the past 20 years, is a failire. It did not require the storm 10 bring a realization of this fact, but it brought 1t home with greater force upon us. We are seeking relief from the mu- nicipal destruction and despair star ing us in the face. It IS question with us of civic life and death. This committee has labored diligently and earnestly to prepare and present to the people of this city, and to the legislature remedial legislation ade- Quate for the grave emergency con- fronting us. Months have been given to it's preparation. It is hoped that the central idea of the new charter that of a -embodies the practical solution of that hitherto unsolved problem; how to govern, cheaply and we'll municipal corpor- ation. We are asking for charter placing the entire control of the To- cal government in the hands of five commissioners, designed to benefit the people rather than to provide sine cures for politicians The passage of the Commission Charter bill through the legislature was accom- plished only after long and bitter fight. As two-thirds vote In favor of the bill was not secured. 1t did

not go into active operation until 90 days after the legislature adjourned. It was just 12 months after tn great storm of September 8, 1900, before the city government passed into the hands of the board of city commits sioners, the new charter becoming eff fective September IS, 1901.
 How the Plan Operates.
 The business of the city is divided into four departments, each depart ment being under the charge and di- rection of commissioner. These four commissioners and the mayor, collectively, constitute what is termed the Board of Commission CTS, of the City of Galveston The mayor is the president of the board and the executive head of the city government. He has all of the rights, powers and duties conferred upon the office of mayor by the constitution and laws of the state,, has the right to vote upon all questions. but has no veto power. Majority rule always prevails.
 The commissioners at the first meeting after their election, or as soon thereafter as possible, by ma jority vote, designate from among their members one commissioner who shall be known as commissioner of finance and revenue,'' and under whose direction is placed the offices of the city assessor and collector, the city treasurer and city auditor. He is also charged with the duty of ex- amining into and keeping informed as to the finances of the city, and with the advice and assistance of the other members of the board he pre- pares the annual budget of the city. Great care is exercised in preparing the city budget and it is never ex- ceeded in expenditures.
 Another commissioner is designat- ed commissioner of waterworks and sewerage" He has under his special charge the construction, maintenance and operation of the waterworks and sewer systems departments. The su- perintendents of these two depart ments and the joint secretary and all employees are under the direction of this commissioner.

Ting with aphorism, preaching the

livered in the house today by Repre-
sentative Hamilton of Michigan. 1t
pictured nine months OF increasing
revenues and encouragement of Amer

1t drew on the legitimate spoils of
trade and the policies and declara-

attributed the high cost of living to
increased gold production. to de-
mand crowding supply, to extrava-

to almost everything else but the tar

Mr.. Hamilton Is the chairman OF
the territories committee of the house
and his speech is likely to figure con-
specuously in the next republican ma

vored the creation of bureau in the

CENSUS ESTIMATES ARE LOWER

The Sentinel this afternoon was
furnished an estimate of the present
population of the city by officials of
the postoffice, who are probably in a
better position to know than men en-
gagged in any other branch of the
city's business.
Judging from the increase in fl
nancial business and from the in
crease of the amount of mail handled
they place the estimate at 1880 but
this included the several additions to
the city so that the population of
Grand Junction proper, in their opin-
ion is about 0,400.
Census Supervisor II. ]. Baird
however, in an unofficial estimate
somewhat throws a damper on this
bright hope by placing the estimate
at 800 for Grand Junction proper.
1t is thought that it will be at least
six months before the truth is known.
