CHARTER BOARD
NEARLY THROUGH
City Ownership and the Health
Board ChaptsEp Only Big
Matters Unfinished

The charter commission, In session
Monday evening, finished its third
reading of the charter, with the ex-
ception of the important municipal
ownership chapter, the health board
chapter, and few minor items. The
commissioners believe that they can
finish their work this week for sub
mission to Gov. Ferris.
Park Commissioner Dust asked to
have the paving of the boulevards
returned to his department, but by a
vote of IL to 8, the commission re-
fused to make the change, and left
the paving with the d. p. w. A resO-
luton was passed permitting the pub
lie lighting commission to furnish
current for private lighting. The
control OF the proposed municipal gas
plant was taken from the street rail-
way commission and given to the
public lighting commission. The re-
creation chapter. and that on the Ia
Dor welfare department, were adopted.
The municipal ownership commit
tee fled q report drawn up by Attor-
neys Frazer, Moore and Gates, re-
storing the municipal ownership pro-
visions, which Commissioner Ferris
had scattered through the charter, to
single chapter, with the original
wording by Mr.. Moore. A change
was made In the municipal owner
ship amendment as adopted last year.
This required that the 100000 which
may be used by the street railway
commission for the preliminary ex-
penses OF acquiring the street railway
system be paid back from bond is-
sues for purchase Of the railway. It
Is now suggested that the common
council be given power to appropri-
ate this amount for expenses.
Commissioner Heating proposed
that the civil service commissioners
be paid a salary. This will be taken
up Wednesday evening. The health
board will be given hearing In the
same meeting.

Then he disappeared.
II Is feared that Jewell lost his way
In the clouds, and was carried out to

but other aviators believe someone
would surely have witnessed such an
accident.
Jewell is q newcomer in the ranks

he was forced to obtain a license in
