Charter Amendments.
Attention was latterly diverted to the
proposed amendments to the city or
dinances. The amendment relating to
the appointment Of park commission
was stamped with the approval Of the
board of aldermen on the motion of
Alderman Patterson. A question as TO
whether the proposed amendments
should become effective on their passage
by the legislature arose and lengthy
discussion ensued before the second ward
member called for roll vote. Alder
man Dawson believed that such propo-
sitions should be submitted to a refer
endum of the people at a city meeting.
Others were inclined to conclr with
him in the same belief, although it
was thought that city meeting might
not tend to expedite matters, since the
amendments had been held up for some
time already. In the roll call ii de-
yeloped that Alderman Dawson was the
only member who would advise the ref
erendum mentioned under the circum-
stances. Every alderman voted on the
question. Proposed amendments pre-
viously considered at length relating to
call for recount ballots and the ex-
tension OF time in appointing officers
after the March election was adopted
unanimously.
