 Commission Government
CITY HAS MANY
 SERIOUS PROBLEMS
Safeguarding Paving Con struction, Investigation of Budget System and Equitable Taxation Soon to be Considered

4 committee consisting, of Mayor Christy, Ancil Matin. president of the !! board of trade, H A Diehl, president l of the Merchants and Manufacturers l association, Chas H. Aters of the Ari- ! zona Gazette, Dwight B. Heard of the Arizona Republican. and J. 0. Dunbar of the Arizona Democrat, who were constituted by the mayor of this city a committee to select d committee of one hundred citizens of Phoenix to take charge of the charter election, select the men who are to compose the charter commission, and the three men who are to serve as commission CTS of our first city commission form of government, begs leave to submit the result If it's labors.
 Among the questions which seem to us of vital importance for the prompt consideration of the committee are the following:
 A definite plan by which, with the shortest possible delay, the n-par- tisan commission form of government, of which large majority of our cit izens have shown their approval. be tSllDllNlItb dlpIlS SANAI iIAANo t'E hA'4 promptly secure to the city an effec tive charter. the board of freeholders who prepare the charter. to be Se lected without reference to partisan politics and the commissioners who shall carry such charter into effect. being selected purely for their eff ciency and integrity without regard to their party affiliations.
 Another problem which cOnfronts the city. and which should be han dled by this committee, is that or safeguarding the construction of pav- ing, that the same care for thorough construction and economy under which the paving movement was started, may continue and only such pavement shall be laid as is particularly suited to the various sections of the city, under careful specifications, thorough inspection and with competitive bids
 The problem of taxation is of vast importance to our citizens and the committee can well consider those plans of other cities who have made a success through the budget system of securing the largest possible amount of public benefits at a minimum Ii taxation.
 Arizon's capital city is blessed with q citizenship that is creditable to the new, state and this committee has faith that the new government creat- ed by the genius of the committee ot one hundred will not only result m reducing taxes, creating harmony III municipal affairs, but will for all time banish political discOrd and par ty strife, which heretofore has often interfered with the economy and best administration of justice in munlclpal affairs in this country.
 If is the purpose in appointing thls committee to make it committee or men who will work for the upbuildine and development of this city along such lines of efficiency and economy as will rebound to the beneflt oi every citizen. and this committee ear nestlv asks that every man on the following list of one hundred names respond promptly and in spirit oi rood will to this call of public duty We believe if the men appointed VII l1y aside their business affairs for time and do their duty as citizens tha' within q few years every man whos' name is enrolled in this committed will feel himself hOnored by the result of the work accomplished.
 After a very careful consideration of the many names available we here bv appoint the following committee o one hundred, who are called together to perfect an organization, at the cltA hall in Phoenix on Thursday evening January 23rd, at 7:30.
