OPPOSITION To
Commission
FOR WAYCROSS
Charter Changes, However, Will

WAYCROSS, June undetermined
opposition has developed here to any
change in the present form Of city
government that leans toward com
mission government. The revision of
the charter is favored partially be-
cause 1t is recognized that some
changes must be made, but when
there is any talk of getting an all
time Mayor or giving any one man a
lot Of power right there kicks begin
to appear.
The proposition to get a charter
that would give Waycross a comblna-
ton commission aldermanic form of
government will hardly be approved.
although an election may be held to
find out just what the majority OF
people. here want.
1t IS thought that the only changes
that viii be finally approved will be
the creation of Recorders Court,
the changing in the time for the city
election from January to December,
and a provision calling for the expen-
diture Of fixed sum annually in per-
manent improvements, as well as an
increased appropriation for city
schools
The bill calling for these changes
will be submitted to an open meeting
at the Board of Trade next week by
charter committee Of thirty. How
ever, if City Council at Tuesday
