Work on the proposed special char.
ter for Bryan has been checked by
other important happenings which
have arisen and demanded the time
and the attention of the business men
who are engaged in drafting the pre-
liminary copy. Nothing has taken
definite shape in the charter as what
has been done has been confined to
discussing various points and pro-
visions from every angle. Work will
be resumed when possible.
