CITY BILLS OF
BOARD OF TRADE
Would Eradicate PartiSanShip
From Our Municipal
Elections
NO PARTY NAMES ON THE
MUNICIPAL BALLOTS

Bills having for their object the
eradication of politics from future
municipal elections and containing
radical changes in the present form
of city government, will be presented
TO the Legislature next week, backed
by the influence of the local Board
Of Trade. Attorney r. G. Harman
aud Sylvester ID. Townsend, Jr., have
been kept busy during the past three
days whipping the proposed new
legislation in shape.
Primarily the object of the new
measure will be to have party lines
stricken from the ballots at both the
primary and general city elections
allowing any would-be candidate Sc
curing the required number OF sigma
lures to place his name ON the pri-
mary ballot without however, any
party designation. At the general
city election only the two candidates
receiving the highest number OF votes
at the primaries will be permitted to
run for office should the measures re-
ceive the sanction of the lawmakers
at Dover.
Council OF Nine Members.
The next most important clause in
the bin provides for a City Council OF
/ but nine members instead of twelve
/ the present number. Five Of the new
hudS TO be selected from the various
/ REPRESENTATIVE Districts, and the rest
to be chosen az large. This clause
it is explained by those back of the
movement will render Councils less
unwieldy and will do away entirely
with Councilmcn who seek better
ments in their home wards rathel
than for the city at large.
A Tax Board OF three members j.
provided for 10 take the place Of th'
present system OF assessors and col
lectors aud a number Of changes ar
proposed In the methods of collecting
taxes Another clause provides fO
uniting the City Engineering force un

measure will be composed Of hu
