CHARTERls
| TALKED BY CIVIC LEAGUE

The fact Of the matter Is that the
charter is a duplicate OF the Hunting
ton charter which has been IN salts
factory operation for a number ot
years and which has been amended
from time to time as defects were DIS;
covered in It's actual workings. The
amendments passed TO the Huntins'
ton charter at the last session OF The
legislature are Incorporated in the pro-
posed Fairmont charter bringing y up
to date. The main point Of difference
between the Fairmont charter and the
Huntington charter Is that the FAR.
mont charter has provisions for the
Initiative, Referendum and Recall
which the Huntingt ION charter does; not
contain. ' - 2
The Point Of Difference,
In the Huntington cbartcr The city
council has only negative, or veto
powers, serves without salary and
may recall commissioner for cause,
or. veto an ordinance or franchise, but
has nothing further 10 do with the
transaction OF the business Of the city
which is all ito be done by the com.
missioners. ,ss
Huntington made this provision as
sort OF substitute for the Recall and
Referendum. believing it would be a
dangerous policy TO place too much au.
thority in the hands of limited com.
mission for long term Of years with.
out some sort of check or balance and
carries out the old form Of gyern-
ment by giving the peple : Of each
ward representation on the council
while the commissioners are elected
at large. 81
The Fairmont charter has the same
provisions hut In addition to has the
, Initiative. Referendum and Recall II
the people want to invoke this harsh.
er method of getting what they want
I The council by exercising these pre-.
rogratives may save the city the ex-
pense OF holding recall election but
In the event they do not the provisions
for these elections are plainly made
and may be exercised by petition x
