pastor and congregation of the little

CATION for a members meeting to be

who was asked several weeks ago to
resign and refused. says the action

is illegal.
On the door OF the church appear
two notices. one from the members
and the other by the pastor The no.
tice issued by the members follows.
"A members meeting will be held

Sections Explained.
Mr.. Warner explained briefly
the several sections. especially the
five city departments into which
the city will be awarded under
the supervision of the central
commission Of five members. which
commission would be the keynote of
the whole system Mr.. Warner ex-
planned that the proposed charter is
not theoretical charter II was pass
ed two years ago by the state of New
Jersey and adopted by Trenton rs
months ago, and the results since
then have been decidedly satisfactory.
He thought il worthy of careful
consideration. He stated that the
thought embodied in it has been to
copy of board of director government
of corporations. which has come TO
be recognized as the only successful
business government and the govern
ment Of a city is a business PROPOSE
ton.
The five commissioners have. fun
power and also full responsibility
and the initiative and referendum is
inserted as a safeguard for the peo-
pie. He said Trenton has had no
occasion as yet to use the initiative
and referendum The law expects
that a commissioner shall make good
He spoke of some of the provisions
Of the charter killed last year, and
said there is nothing m the new
charter that would prohibit the em-
ployment OF a city superintendent if
such were desired
William F. kurtz and Caleb r.. Bur
chenal also spoke in'favor Of the-pro-
posed charter bill. The former ex-
pressed the opinion that Wilmington
would progress more rapidly under
the proposed charter than under the
present form of municipal govern
ment. He said the city had been
striving for fifteen years to get new
charter and it was now up to Council
to act.
Mr.. Burchenal declared that the
time had come for a change in the
system Of governing Wilmington and
he thought the proposed charter was
the thing needed to bring the best
results.
Norman e. John told OF trip t.
Trenton where he had remained two
days for the purpose Of getting a,

and he was told there that the people
found it far superior to the old form
