meeting OF the council commltte
on charter and city legislation will
be held Saturday afternoon, at which
City Clerk Charles A. Nichols will sub
NIT a charter amendment embracing

present charter limit Of $50, which Is
exceeded in 81 of the 155 districts.
Mr.. Nichols figures that the new
plan would require about 275 dis

elections would be no more, as the
count would be in earlier. and II would
not be necessary to pay double wages
to the clerks and inspectors.
