The Proposed New City
Charter and Its Opponents.

Waterville citizens will watch with
unusual interest the engrossment OF
the proposed new charter for the city
OF Waterville, which will be one OF the
early readings of the legislature For
over year. the Good Government com
mittee, appointed at a mass meeting
have been carefully devising a eharter
which they feel will meet with the
general approval and be a substitute
for the city charter now in vogue. The
new charter places the city govern
ment on the commission basis and
eliminates the ward politics and gives
the control of the management of the
business affairs To mayor and four
councimen.
Tn" proposed charter has been cut
To pieces and revised several times and
public meetings have been held al
which time the citizens have had an
opportunity of suggesting improve
ments. Tie committee was OF the
unanimous opinion that the mayor
should be elected for a term of three
years. next following the election and
that four councilmen, two for a term
of two years each, and two for a term
of one Year each, next following such
election At the expiration of the above
mentioned terms. the successors of the
mayor and the successors of the Coun-
cilmen shall hereafter be elected for Il
term of three years. The number of
councilmen shall be four. and except.
as aforesaid. or as otherwise provided.
no other officers shall be elected at
any other election. The mayor and
councilmen shall be elected ny the
qualified voters of the city.
The new act provides for preliminary
and special elections. The preliminary
elections shall he held one week prior
to the annual elections and ballots will
be printed bearing the names of the
candidates. The present wards will
be divided into precincts. Wards 1 and
= forming Precinct l, Wards 3, and )
constituting Precinct > and Wards 6
and 4. Any person, DESTROYS of being
a candidate. in order to have his name
printed on the preliminary ballot. must
file with the city clerk seven days in
advance a statement with the petition
attachment of at least - qualified vot-
ers. No party name shall be printed
on the preliminary ballot.
The two persons receiving at pre-
liminary election for nominations the
highest number of votes for nominal
ton for an office shall be the candi-
dates and the only candidates for that
office whose names shall be printed on
the official ballots to be used at the
annual election.
Should the proposed charter be Civ
en- q referendum by the Legislature
and be accepted by the citizens at a
special election, the present govern
ment would be abolished and the NUM-
cipal council instituted The council
shall organize the first Monday in each
year and those whose terms of office
begin shall take the oath. The council
will organize with the choice of a
president other than the mayor.
The mayor shall be chairman and a
member of the board of overseers of
the poor. The administration of the
city affairs shall be divided and CLASH

Opposition to New Charter.

was first proposed and preliminary
sections drawn. there has been some
opposition and Friday morning Fred
w. Clair one of the leading attorneys,
came olt in statement that he VIII
oppose the charter. with charter
Which he himself is devising. He will
have it in readiness for the Legislature
and will doubtless present the same in
person when Charter No. l. so-called. is
presented.
This announcement came as sur
prise to the workers for the new char
ter. which we will now call Charter
No. | Mr.. Clair has at several of the
public meetings stated that he was al
together in favor of the charter as
proposed and feels that while no effort
is made to change the parts mentioned.

only official that should draw pay as
he would do the work. The Superin-
tendent would have full charge and
engage his own help. In this way the
city would save a considerable amount
of money in salary.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Clair to
have as near the old time town govern
ment as possiblye, as he believes that
it is the best possible. He considers
the city too small for such radical
charges as appear in the Charter No. /.
Another important matter which Mr.
Clair is adjusting is the matter of the
preliminary elections, which under
Charter No. /, would DE held one week
prior To the annual election. This. Mr..
money and in reality is two elections.
He would change this by having nomi-
nation bv petition.
The recall Mr.. Clair considers worth
less and he will not embody the same
in his charter. He thinks that the city
is ton small and that il would never
be nut in force.
These are but a few of the changes
that Mr.. Clair is making and as soon
as completed the charter will he given
in fG,l. This IS an important matter to
the citizens ard Just where the matter
VIII end none of those interested know
