Proposed Changes in Town Charter.

Proposed Changes In Town Charter.
In the Circuit Court at Charles Town
on Tuesday, Geo. M. Beltzhoover. ESQ.,,
corporation attorney, representing tive
residents of Shepherdstown, presented a
petition before Judge Woods, asking for
certain changes in the charter OF our cor
poration. The alterations asked for were
that the fiscal year shall begin the lst
day OF July, and that the annual levy be
made in the month of August instead of
May or June; that the corporation cleo
ton be held the second Monday in June
instead of the second Monday in March,
and that the terms of the officers be for
two years instead Of one year; that the
capitaton tax should be paid on or before
the first day of June, instead OF the first
day of March. 1t is understood that the
petition was originated by several menu
bers of the present administration, but
was not the action Of the town council.
II was not thoroughly advertised, having
been published in but one paper, and
comparatively few persons knew OF the
contemplated action. A few days ago,
however, when it became known that
the matter would come up at the present
term of court, decided opposition was
manifested, there being particular obIec-
ton to extending the term OF officers to
two years. The apparent air OF secrecy
with which the matter had been managed
was not favorably viewed, and many
persons believed that private interests
rather than public welfare was at the
bottom of the movement. The gentle
men who had signed the petition seemed
not to have been particularly interested
in it, having given the use OF their names
more as an accommodation. A counter
petition was prepared, and a consider
able number OF the leading citizens and
heaviest taxpayers signed it, protesting
against the proposed changes, especially
that which would lengthen the term Of
office. This was presented in court on
Tuesday by Geo. M. Beltzhoover, Jr.,
representing the opponents of the first
petition. Judge Woods took the petit
lions under advisement, and the matter
will come up again today.
So far as we can learn. there is no
strong sentiment here for the changes
on the contrary, we are convinced that
the people rather look upon it with dis
favor. Those who are responsible for
the movement would have done better
had they given more publicity to it and
presented good reasons to the people for
the proposed changes. A matter of so
much importance ought to have had full
consideration upon the part of our citi-
zenS.
