VOTERS APPROVE
AlL AMENDMENTS

tCentinusd From First PaSs.)
ct the submission act regarding city
trsaaursrs and commissioners Of the
revenue will be attacked IN the courts.
No objection will he made TO the
amendment referring ~ forms Of city
government This provides that the
General Assembly shall have power 70
grant to cities charters which pre-
scribe forms OF government different
from those now snandatory--for In
stance by q bicameraI council The
end aimed At Is commission govern
mont TOR those cities which desire It
and which indicate by the votes OF
their citizens that they waLt II.
The amendment regarding city COM
missionsrs Of the revenue would so
change the Constitution that these
ofncials may be elected by the people
and be allowed TO continue in office
indefinitely. At present. they are elect
ed by .he people under at Of the
Legislature, but may nos succeed
themselves IN Office. The Constitution
provides that IL appointed by the
courts they may be eligible to reap
pointment.
At present the Constitution provides
that city treasurers may not serve
longer than two successive terms. the
reason for this limitation being de-
sire to have these officials settle with
the public occasionally, when they go
out OF office.
These two amendments We're voted
on At the election In November. 1910.
and defeated at the polls. In order
that city treasurers and commissioners
now In Office might &c enabled to be-
como candidates for reelection next
year. the last Legislature re-sub-
mittsd the amendments. The appeal to
the courts win be made on the ground
that the amendusnts were not ratified
by two successive Legislatures.
In most OF the cities and larger
towns Richmond being q notable In
stance, the advocates OF the amend
ments regarding city onicials had re-
representatives. 1t each precinct. work
ing hard all day for ratification In
addition. the party machinery was
used in some places, the claim being
made that the amendments were Demo-
cratic party measures. At some pre-
cincts-for instance. Second Jefferson

cd out nude ballots along with ON
cial tickets, showing he voter how 70
cast his ballot for the amendments.
