WOULD PLAY BALL
FOR CnARITy'S SAKE
Mayor Murphy PrOmulgates Idea of
Game by City Officials for Purpose
of Providing Necessaries to the
Needy.

At the close of the council meet
ing Tuesday evening Mayor Murphy
broached the idea that with the ap-
preaching advent of cold weather
there would be found needy ones in
our midst shortly, and promulgated
the idea Of a ball game by city Of
ficials for the purpose of caring for
extreme cases when found.
The idea was not discussed by tho
body at this meeting but will likely
be taken up later. It IL good, and
but follows in the line Of thought
promulgated by. former mayors. In
this connection, however, the Enter
prise would make suggestion
that when the game is pulled of the
players on the one side be selected
from among the present city officials
while the opposing team be COM
posed of recalled aldermen and de-
feated candidates for city honors
who have fallen in the battle Of bal
lots within the past twelve months.
We would also suggest that the
chief of police be selected as UNI
pire, and that the mayor be placed
at the head of the knocking list on
the one side of the combat.
We believe such<a contest would
draw like mustard plaster, and that
the poor would not need for coal
or food during the entire winter. q

CHARTER COMMISSION
AUOuRNS SINE DIE
Last Meeting Of Original Commission Held
at City Hall Last ht.---Poposed
Amendments Left for Successors to
Report Upon.

The original charter commission
having in charge the framing of
the existing city charter under
which Virginia is now governed,
held it's last meeting at the city hall
last evening and upon motion of w.
H. Eaton, supported by W. +. Han
naford, adjourned sine die, the time
of service of the mem bers expiring
by Limitation on August 22nd.
The meeting at this time was
called by President Fanuing to con-
slider proposed amendments to the
charter and reports of special CON-
mittees appointed thereon, but in
consideration of the fact that new
commission would have the final
adjustment of the questions before
their submission to the voters of
the city it was deemed unwise to
take formal action on the questions
under consideration, dealing with
the police and fire commission and
the light and water question (re-
garding the appointment and dut-
les of light and water com mission
in case of municipal ownership of
light and water plants) and Secre-
tary Poirier wac instructed by mo.
ton to file with the city clerk all
papers, reports and supplies in his
Office pertaining to the charter COM
mission aud i,s work.
The original charter commission
was appointed on August 22, ,9OS, by
Judges Ensign, Cant and D'bell, of
the district court of the eleventh
Judicial district, their term of Office
being for four years, under the re-
vised laws of 1905. The members
as appointed were Messrs. NJ. E.

Chief of interest to citizens in
general in the proceedings nf the
city council Tuesday evening was
the ratification of an agreement ar
rived at in a conference between
City Attorney Morgan and Messrs.
Mitchell and Thomas, representing
the Mesaba Railway Company,
whereby in consideration of the priv
ilege Of changing rout5 from Larch
10 Sage street the com9an, agreed
to use iron poles III the city limits
as far north as Elm stree: The
change in route is opposed by resi-
dents of Sage street on the ground
that tits a narrow tho :ougnfare, and
property owners present al the mee:-
ing asked remuneration on the
ground that the car lin3 would prove
detrimental to prop3rty valuee. H.
ter a consideration OF the propo>1-
ton, however, the council decided to
stand by the agreement entered into
and gave an ordinance granting the
desired change it's first reading.
The light and water committee
made recommendation that, in view
of the absence of the secretary Of
the Virginia Electric Power & Water
Co. in Europe, the request of the
company that the time limi: for the
filing of formal ans xer of a:ceIt-
auce or rejection of the profrer of
the city for the purchase of the pant
be extended, such extension being
granted until September 30th. Mr..
Buck, secretary of the ompanJ, is
expected home from his European
trip about September 18th.

the trust through his removal from
the city. his place on the commits
sion being filed by the appoint
ment of John D. Lamont. The
charter as framed was presented to
the Hon. Andrew Hawkinson, may
or of the city at that time, on Feb.
20, 1909, and later adopted by the
voters of the city by substantial
majority.
The working out of the charter as
framed has brought out some trltl-
ing defects in certain particulars
although as a whole the document
has stood the test of time in good
shape and has given the city bet
ter law under which to work than
was afforded by the state law under
which it was formerly governed.
These trifling defects have been
given consideration by the commits
sion, and have been placed in euch
shape that their consideration by
the succeeding body will be mat
ter of less work than would have
otherwise been the case.
At the close of the meeting list
of some thirty6ve citizens who
would be eligible to appointment
under the law was made for sub
mission to the judges of the district
court, from which selection may be
made OF fifteen names for appoint
meut on the commission for the
ensuing term. To become eligible
citizen must have been a resident
and property owner in the city for
the five years preceding the date Of
appointment, and while for rea-
sons some names of those forming
the present commission were omit
ted eleven OF the number are IN
cIuded in the list tor submission
and it is n.ore than likely some of
these same men will be ereappointed.

denied. $5:~~
The matter of the Blasting at the
Mad mine, brougkt before the
council at q former meeting by resi-
dents of the second. ward, was re-
ported upon by the city attorney,
who holds that such is a private
matter and should be- taken up with
the court instead ofzthe council If the
petitioners feel that action should
be had. The report was accepted.
A communication from the police
and fire commissions. called for the
passage Of an ordinance against
the visitation of girls and boys under
a certain age at public dances, and
the attorney was instructed to draft
same. q
A report from the committee ad-
vised that the Comodore mine could
rot furnish dirt for filling in Of the
proposed market site, owing to the
fact that the overburden from this
property had been: disposed of to
other interests, and the committee
was instructed to seek dirt from
some other source. Work on filling
of this site progresses nice]y, but
a lack of dirt hampers the work.
The clerks and treasurer's report IS
were read, the mayor objecting to
the overdraft of some $4,000 shown
against the Park Board. The Board
does much work this season, and has
money coming from past approl' ia
tions, however, to square it's account.
A report from Aldermen Heritage
and NOLAN and DR.. Grove, commit
tee appointed to look into the rela-
tive merits of air pressure and gas
power street flushers, was accepted
and the council ordered the purchase
of a Studebaker machine at $1,100.
The quality of cement sidewalk
work being done this year was the
subject ot:sf.an.s e sttack & by Mayor
Murphy, who alleged that the werk
was more rotten than ever in the
history of the city. The mayor al
legged the fault laid to a degree with
the engineering department. The
inspector on the work in question:,
on Spruce street, was Gust A. Pehr-
son, whose appointment was opposed
by Engineer Johnson on the ground
of alleged incompetency, bat whose
appointment at the time it was made
was heartily espoused by Mayor
Murphy. AS to where the fault may

rightly lie we know not, but the
above are facts.
The proposition of the>purchase OF
5000 copies Of a pamphlet advertis-
ing the city. brought up at previous
meeting, was opposed by Mayor
Murphy, who stated that while he
believed in advertising he did not
believe in going too far; that he be-
lieved the administration was hit
+ ting too fast a pace on expenditures.
The attorney reported that while he
believed the charter could be 80 con-
structed as to permit Of such an ex-
penditure he could find no place
where it had ever been done, and
upon motion the proposition was re-
manded to the table for another
week.
In the auditing of the monthly
bills the bill of the Virginian In
the sum of $22.50 for the publishing
of the mayors proclamation anent
the closing of saloons on the last
special election day, brought forth
minority report from Alderman
Heritage as a member Of the finance
committee, who refused to sign same
on grounds specified in writing.
These objections recited that the
work rightly should have gone to the
Enterprise, under contract, and that
the Enterprise for such work in the
past, had charged $1.20 as against
the $3.50 contracted by the mayor
at the office of the Virginian. The
account, however, was allowed and
ordered paid, but not until Mayor
Murphy had told Alderman Heritage
that If he had. been az particular
"over lumber bills" the city would
have booked a saving In the past.
As regards this account, the views
of the Enterprise editor have been
fully exemplifled in the past, and al
we have previously stated it is not
the amount of the bill so much as
the principle to which we object,
the reason for the placing Of the
order with the Virginian by Mayor
Murphy being too apparent to any
to need elucidation.
A city warrant in the matter of
the injury of Ethel Bruno, allegedly
caused by a detective sidewalk on
Oak street on July 14th last, In the
sum of $500 in full settlement Of all
claims, was ordered drawn in favor
Of the injured child and her parents,
William and Charlotte Bruno.
The ordinance establishing flre
limits on Maple street was laid over
for one week, the deliberations Of
the council having taken up four
full hours, and adjournment of the
body was taken at the midnight
hour.
