CHAR TER REVISION
As ALTERNATIVE
Favorable Vote Will Bring Action
Only if Home Rule Amendments
Fail of Passage.

Tuesday nights council meeting
took on the nature OF an old ladies
tea party. The aldermen were in Q
gossipy mood and the routine bust
them, so they swapped stories among
themselves, discussed the weather
the estimates or idly contemplated
the ceiling through the riffs In the
clouds Of cigar smoke. Several times
President Gutman found 1t necessary
to rap for order. and once or twice
he threatened to have the sergeant
alarms clear the lobby unless the
buzzing ceased.
After the council had adjourned
Aid. David Rosenthal, OF the Thirt
ward, came rushing down the center
aisle, waving aloft copy OF reso
luton which, he declared, had to &C
through 1t was In connection with
the death of Estimator Storm and
called on the aldermen to attend the
funeral, Thursday, In body. II was
too late to take any action on the
resolution, but the matter was called
to the attention Of the various alder
men and most of them will heed the
request.
The only semblance to a debate was
the rather desultory discussion which
attended the report OF the committee
on city and charter legislation, sub
mitting without recommendation the
resolution OF Aid. McCarty, which
provided for the submission to tn
people in April Of the question OF
general revision of the city charter.
The report was accepted, but when
Aid. McCarty moved the adoption oil
the resolution, Aid. Vernon was ready
with a substitute. making charter
revision contingent on the legisla'
ture failure to pass the amendments
to the home rule bill.
Aid. McCarty finally accepted the
substitute and 1t went through with
roll call attached. Under the Vernon
resolution. the proposition will be sub
mitted to the voters In the following
form:
Shall a charter commission be
elected for the purpose OF revis-'
ing the charter Of the city OF De-
troit, in case the law governing
the matter at this time Is not
changed by the legislature OF the
state of Michigan at its present
session, 80 as to make 1t possible
for the city Of Detroit to amend
its existing charter, without first
revising II through the medium
of such a charter commission.
Aid Lodge put through resolution
providing for the submission Of the
special act increasing the city's bond
ing limit from to 3 per cent.
The council adopted the sane

sale OF toy pistols, blank cartridges
and dynamite frecrackers on the
