TO REOPEN DAMAGE CLAIM.
irregularities In Case Of D. v. r
Victim Are Aiieued.


An attempt to reopen the case OF
the estate of Frank Swiezekowski.
letter known as HANDEL, against the
ID. u. r., will be made in Judge Don
ovan's court, Tuesday afternoon.
Kandel was one Of the victims of
the ID. u. r. wreck at Cady's Corners,
year ago Christmas, when an In
terurban car loaded with Christmas
visitors left the rails. Shortly after
the accident his brother, Joseph, came
TO Detroit, and OH the suggestion OF
ID. u. r. lawyer. II Is claimed, had
himself appointed administrator OF
the estate, and accepted $1,000 in set
element OF the claim. As is customary
in such cases. he was placed under a
nominal bond OF 500. and after get
ting the money went south. The pro.
bate court was not consulted In the
matter OF the settlement, and knew
nothing OF 1t for several months.

Mcintyre. Steve Swiezekowski has
been appointed administrator. and suit
will be brought. The man killed

SPLITS ON CHARTER
REVISION PLAN
Council Divided As To Whether Gen.
eral 0verhauling Or Piece-meal
Changes Is Best.

Whether the city should have a gen
eral revision OF its charter or wheth'
er II should appeal to the legislature
for an amendment TO the home rule
till that would permit all cities OF the
state to amend their charters by the
piece-meal plan are questions likely
to cause lively debate in the com.
mon council, Tuesday night. Aid
Gilman and McCarty are strong foI
submitting the question OF a general
revision TO the people in the coming
election, and one of them may go SO
far as to introduce resoluti1n To
that effect, Tuesday night. In that
case they are sure to draw the fire
OF Aid. Vernon, who Is absolutely op-
posed To submission of the question
at this time and will oppose IL to
the last ditch.
Mayor Thompson has already taken
the initiative toward securing. an
amendment to the home rule bill by
preparing a communication, for sub
mission tonight, urging the council
TO take immediate steps TO bring the
matter before the legislature, and 1t
is not improbable that resolution
along the lines OF the communication
will be forthcoming.
IL do not see any reason for not
submitting the question OF general
charter revision to the people, said
Aid. Gilman. Tuesday morning.
Some people are raising the cry that
a general revision would give the
Municipal league an opportunity to
INCORPORATE its plan for a mission
form OF government in the new char
ter, That's all right. III the people
decide they want q commission form
Of government I'm not going to stand
in the way simply because IL would
lcgislate me S-ontA of ONCE, I'm Tor
anything the people express pref
erence for. and the sooner they are
given an opportunity to express that
preference the better"
Aid. McCarty takes credit FOR be-
ing the real father of the suggestion
for vote on the question OF gen.
eral revision. III any resolution is In
troduced he will probably be the one
to introduce 1t.
He saws: IL know one thing the
council might as weel vote to submit
the question. for If IL doesn't II VIII
be submitted by petition he said.
There is some agitation already go
ing on for a petition, and unless the
council acts quickly such a petition
will be In circulation"
II opposed IL the other day In our
informal session and | will oppose II
again." said Aid Vernon. We don't
want a general charter revision.
The mayor, in his communication
to the council, points out that, AT
very modest estimate, charter re
vision would cost $4,000 or $7O,OOO'
with no certainty that the charter
would be approved by the people. he
also cites the experience OF Grand
Rapids. Pontiac, Port Huron and oth-
er cities to show that the undertake
ing In Detroit, before the new charter
was finally approved, would consume
nearly two years. And IL the char.
ter we're rejected. the work would
have TO be done all over again. he
recommends that the council lend
their weight Of It's influence" to secur-
ing an amendment to the home rule
bill along the lines indicated.
