Expense would BE Greater.

Further he pointed u that If the
state, the county, the city and the Board
of Education Of the city should all
hold their own civil service examina-
tions the expense would be much
greater. Mr.. Goodwin stated that local
civil service commissions had never
worked out well where they had beer
established and claimed that out of 22o
cities In the United States which arr
under civil service one-third were un-
der State control. He said that he

BOOMER" LYONS LOSES
CITY APPROPRIATION
New Brunswick's Industrial So.
IicitOr Deprived of Cash.
Especial 70 the Newark start

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 16.-War-
rem K. Lyons, a local real estate agent,
can no longer add the title Of city In
dustrial solicitor to his name. Common
Council has deprived him of that honor
by cutting out the appropriation for his
work. Today Mr.. Lyons is undecided
whether to continue his work at his
own expense OF to go to one of the
several cities which have been en-
~deavoring to secure his services as a
boomer.
Mr.. Lyons has had a unique career
here. Several years g he became
Gctive in trying to induce manufac-
turers to locate here. He met with
success, and several plants were
brought here through his work. The
| public became interested and supported
his work by public subscription. Five
| years ago Common Council took notice
| OF hts work and made al appropriation
which 1t placed at his disposition, and
digniied his work by making him city
Industrial solicitor. But he was gen.
orally called by his friends Boomer
Lyons, In recognition Of his hustling
abilities.
The city appropriation has ranged
from 5000 to $500 a year, and the money
was used for bringing parties interested
IN manufacturing plants here and
showing them the advantages of the
city. other real estate men looked
with envious eyes on the appro-
priation and declared that, as Mr.. Lyons
was interested in the sale of land for
factories, on which he got a commits
on. he should not get n subsidy from
the city for his work.
When the new Board of Trade was
formed Mr.. Lyons became a member,
no some of his friends thought that
he would be made it's secretary, an
office which pays $ $500 a year; bvt he
lid not get the Office, and his relations
With the board were not pleasant. for
he recently resigned his membership.
The Board OF Trade now has a COM
n'ttee which looks after the industrial
interests of the city, and the aldermen
thought that a continuance of the APP
preparation for Mr.. Lyons was not
necessary, and cut 1t off.

INITIATIVE, RECALL
AND REFERENDUM
WITH The CHARTER
Revision Board Adopts Plan De-
signed to Make Commission
Government Effective.

At a conference with the members
of the State Civil Service Commission
and officers of the National Civil Serv-
ice Reform League last night the Char
ter Revision Commission further dis
cussed the adyisability of having the
referendum, initiative and recall In con-
nection with the commission form of
government which the new charter pro-
vides, and County Counsel William P.
Martin, who brought the matter up
and apparently has made 1t a study
was authorized to submit a draft at the
meeting of the commission next Thurs
day. The intention is to prepare a sup
Elementary bill providing for these
three powers and have them voted
upon separate from the charter bill. II
the commission reaches an agreement
on the matter at the next meeting the
charter bill and supplement will be or
dered printed and a public hearing will
be held previous to introducing both
matters to the Legislature.

citizen. Deem Them Necessary.

During the discussion on referendum,
initiative and recall, Mr.. Martin ex-
planned that many citizens were inter-
ested in the matter and that some of
them thought that a commission form
of government was not much better
than the present system unless these
three provisions were adopted and
made part of it. He insisted that If
the people are to give the great power
to a commission which is intended they
should retain the power to recall them
If they were not doing the right thing.
If they refuse TO enforce an act of the
Legislature there should be the initia-
tive to compel them and II they enacted
something without approval of the
Legislature or against the law there
should be the referendum.
He explained that petition Of Is per
eent. Of the voters OF the previous cleo
ton would be necessary to order a spe.
cial election for these purposes. It
was remarked that this would mean
every time an expenditure of about
$4,000, and also that the fact that the
people had these COVER was one of the
reasons that they would have to be ex-
ercised only on rare occasions.
Mr.. Martin will submit a draft along
these lines at the mex meeting of the
commission.

Largest Home Rule scope.


1t was decided to eliminate the local
civil service commission feature FROM
the draft of the new city charter, which
had originally been ms. sted upon TO
provide for the largest possible meas
ure of home rule.
Another change which was made in
the charter after d lengthy consultation
with ]. K. Sterrett, of Price, Water
house & Co, the expert accountants
who were employed In the auditors
office after the disappearance of former
Auditor Forman, was TO create the
office of city treasurer. to have sole
charge of the collection and disburse-
ments of money. Under the original
draft the city comptroller was made
the chief financial officer of the cit,
with power to collect and dtsburse the
c.ty's money.
Under the present plan the comp
troller is the chief financial officer of
the city and the keeper of the general
accounts. The auditor, who originally
was intended to be a department head,
responsible to the commission, viii he
subordinate to the comptroller, but the
treasurer, who was formerly not pro-
vided, will be a department head.
Eliminate Local &. 3. Clause.
on the question of having a local
civil service commission appointed by
the Mayor under the provisions of the
new charter DIR. Fletcher w. Johnson,
president of the State Civil Service
Commission; Commissioner James X.
Mullikin, Gardner Colby, secretary and
chief examiner of the commission,
Charles w. Eliot. former president OF
Harvard University and president OF
the National Civil Service Reform
League, and Elliott Goodwin, secretary
of the same league, appeared before the
commission giving their reasons n
arguments why the work of the State
commission should not be interfered
with and showing that municipal civil
service commissions had never worked
well where they had been operating.
The arguments were convincing to the
charter commissioners and the motion
of Mr.. Martin to eliminate local civil
service from the charter was carried
unanimously.

Service Commission, In opposition TO
the plans of the Charter Commission,
