1t Is not my purpose to urge, either
that a charter government should OF
should not be favored, but the OBJECT
of what have said is TO induce some
arrangement for payment OF the eN
penses. II the expense comes. For
Under no modification of the form oi
city government, can the obligation TO
pay debts be escaped
And If the necessities OF the city
only leaves some sl5,Soo OF puDhe
works, and possibly the water depart
ment expenses in some measure, upon
which the skill in saving oil charter
commissioners can be exercised, they
cannot save 1t all, but must spend
some money on streets. bridges, sew
ers. water works. Can they save
enough to pay the 10000 to $4,000
additional for installing and paying
charter officials, and stIll do justice to
the city. or how will these extra en-
penses be met.
Had the petition for charter con
vention been presented before the tax
levy ordinance of November, 1910,
the council could have provided for
the ultimate expenses required by an
| increased tax levy of some or 3
mills on the dollar; or II filed month
| later. the expense of the election TO
| determine whether the city wishes

been nearly all saved, by holding the
| election on the same day and with the
| same election machinery as the regu-
lar city election.

Mr.. T. C. Graden,

durango, COloraOO.
My Dear Mr.. Graden:
Your letter OF the 14th inst which 1t
seems you inadvertently sent to Sen
ator Guggenheim, was forwarded to
me and just received this morning
along with the decision OF Hon. 8. "
Proudfit, Assistant Commissioner OF
the General Land Office. rendered on
December 3rd, In the case of William
Glassner.
at once went to Mr.. Proudfit and
had quite lengthy conference with
him personally. and he called in the
law clerk who prepared that decision,
and l explained to them the hardship
OF that construction of the law. They
stated that they could see where 1t
was likely to work hardship; but
they said that they could not do
otherwise than follow that circular OF
enber 9Th, 1910.
l thereupon went to see the Secre-
tary of the Interior and had personal
interview with Mr.. Ballinger himself
He examined the decision and that cir.
cular, and called in his private secre
tsry and told him to have the matter
investigated again. He said he did
not believe off hand, that that con.
struction. which appears In section 2 OF
the circular, was correct construction
OF the intent or meaning of the act OF
June 22nd 1910.
l presented the matter think quite
forcibly to Mr.. Ballinger and | am
going to write him and the commits
si0ner formal letter. urging them to
reconsider this decision and the rul-
ing and see If we cannot have a con-
structlon put upon the law that will
ed 1t to do. homestead entries upon
coal land believe / am going to
secure some relief.
explained to Mr.. Ballinger that
it would be practically impossible
TO secure any remedial legislation from
Congress at this session, and that
meant putting the matter off for over
year, which would be a great hard
ship on the development OF our state
Trusting that may be able to write
you more favorably in the near future
and with my kindest regards, remain
Yours very respectfully,
Edward T. Taylor.
