FINISHING
CHARTER DRAFT
Opposition DeVeIOpes to Pro-
posed New City Ward
Boundaries
MAYOR GETS THE
BILL ON THURSDAY

The City Charter Commission,
under the law creating it, is required
to turn the proposed new city charter
over 90 Mayor Harrison W. Howell
by February I. which is Thursday
The charter will not be completed at
that time, however. il was stated by
member of the commission today,
as it is in the hands of the phraseol-
ogy committee. consisting Of Thomas
f. Bayard, Armon d. Chaytor, Jr., and
Colonel George W. Sparks While
the unfinished draft will be turned
over to the Mayor Thursday TO COM
ply with the law. the commission will
continue at work on it to furnish it
as soon as possible AS soon as a
synopsis Of it is prepared it will be
read at a meeting Of the Wilmington
Civic Association.
II has developed that there is TO be
/ a systematic fight made against the
adaption of the charter In its present
form by the labor organizations. It
was said today that several of the
unions have urged their members TO
] be present at the next meeting Of the
Civic Association and enter q protest
against the proposed new ward
boundaries. which make Eighth street
a dividing line for the two wards.
The proposed charter divides the
city into a northern and a southern
ward Three councilmen arc TO be
elected from each ward and three
from the city at large. The labor
men claim that under this arrange
ment at least two Of the three mem-
bers elected at large would come from
the northern ward. thus giving ma
| iority from that section.
That the members of the trades or
ganization are going TO fight the
proposed charter is assured and one
day last week. the executive commit
tee of one body considered means
whereby the proposed elimination OF
| wards could be combatted.
In speaking Of the new charter TO-
dav a member Of the commission said
that considerable work was yet 20
be done on the document and he SAID
that when it became public 1t would
cause a great upheaval because OF
its many changes. from the present
system.
The Charter Commission will have
a meeting tonight and another meeting
tomorrow to go over the phraseology
Of the proposed new charter. While
all the members have agreed upon the
outline. the wording is yet to be adopt
ed. The phrsseology is being framed
by Mr. Bayard, Mr.. Richards, Mr..
Kurtz. Mr.. Chaytor and Colonel
Sparks.
Even after the Civic Association
makes suggestions about the charter
at it's meeting early in February. some
changes may be made in the LAM
guage Of the charter. Under the law
while Mayor Howell is TO receive tho
charter by February /, it does not
have TO be distributed in pamphlet
| form before March l.
