Mr.. kurtz Explains.
William r Kurtz. a member of the
Charter Commission and one of the
most active champions Of tho charter
draft, today made the following state
ment in further explanation Of the
proposed charter
In the closing hours Of tho cam
paign for the proposed new city cnar-
ter, there are so many false and mis-
leading statements being made about
what II does and does not contain.
that h is impossible for me 10 trace
and answer all Of them I will. how
ever. attempt 10 answer two that are
founded in ignorance and prejudice
II with no worse motive, and have
been so presented 10 the parties inter
ested.
Il want 10 say a word 10 the fremef
and policemen. You will all agree that
the new charter must have some pro.
vision with reference 10 those sub.
iects. Among the home rule powers
which II would grant are: To pro.
vide an efficient fire system and po-
lice force. fire alarm and police tcle-
graph system, and TO make and en-
force within said city such fire and
other regulations as shall be deemed
to be expedient to protect persons and
property maintain the public peace
prevent crime. and promote the pub
, lie morals.
Section so gives the Board Of Ad-
ministration the power to appoint the
chief Of police. The new charter abol-
ishes the present police board. as It
abolishes the street and sewer board.
water board and park board II ANAL
gamates all these boards into one
board. the Board OF Administration.
and centralizes this power for the
sole purpose of efficiency and TO avoid
/ friction and lost motion. This is the
only change made in the police de-
partment.
The policemen now in the city's
employ will not have to undergo a
civil service examination Future
appointments under the new charter
would have to submit TO such an ex-
animation. Ths police pension fund
is retained There is absolutely moth
ing in the new charter that should
tempt a policeman 10 vote against IL
because of purely selfish reasons.
There are scores of reasons why as
a good citizen he should vote for II.
AS TO the fire department. Section
/ Sc provides. The said board OF ad-
ministration shall appoint fire chief
and assistant or assistants. who shall
have charge OF control Of the sys-
tenn for the protection Of the city from
| fire and shall have command of the
! fire companies and the members
thereof. and who shall perform such
other duties as may be prescribed for
him by the board Of administration -
The new charter therefore. pro-
poses TO take from the fire companies
their present right to elect the chief
and his assistants. but In no other
way does II interfere with the ire de-
partment as now constituted. Under

Watertowns to Have
Commission IPlll an !

AT the special election held BY the
city Of Watertown last Saturday to
vote on whether the city Of Water
town should retain its old charter or
go under the commission plan Of gov
ernment, the commission plan won out
by majority of 81 votes and was a
great surprise to even the supporters
Of the new plan Of government.
Quite a spirited opposition was put
up by the opponents Of the commission
plan while the supporters Of the plan
did practically nothing to advance
their cause, but the citizens Of Water
town have evidently given the matter
consid derable study and consid deration
and were ready to embrace the new
and modern method of city govern
ment.
Five commissio will be elected
instead of three as it was optional

the change.
