HOME RULELAW
TIES HANDS OF
CHARTER BOARD
Impossible 10 Change System \Of
City Government for Years,
Says c $. Crane
SUGGESTS AMENDMENT
TO PRESENT MEASURE
Bill to Correct Unsatisfactory
Features Will Probably
BE introduced

Charles S. Crane, a former assistant
prosecuting attorney and candidate
for the charter commission in the
Fourth ward, believes that the home
rule law should be changed In some
respects to facilitate the work OF
charter revision in Detroit. Mr.. Crane
has taken the matter up with one
member OF the Wayne delegation, and
1t is understood that a bill will likely
be presented TO correct the alleged
fault
Those who believe that radical
changes In our municipal govern
ment are possible under the present
so-called home rule bill are not IA
miliar with the act" said Mr.. Crane.
las a matter OF fact the charter
commission will find It's hands tied
in many important particulars. The
clause which most effectually blocks
changes Is paragraph ID OF Section
No 8, which states: No city shall
have power to change the salary OF
emoluments OF any public Official
after his election or appointment or
during his term OF office; nor shall
the term OF any city Official be
shortened or extended beyond the
period for which he was elected or
appointed, unless he resign or be re-
moved for cause That clause pre-
vents the putting into effect OF either
the federal plan OF government or
the commission form OF government
for a great many years. For In
stance, the term OF the public light
ing commissioner to be appointed by
Mayor Marx next spring will not en-
pre- until 1919. That means that II
the commission were TO favor q new
form OF government II would take at
least six years to put 1t into effect.
"At present the fault In Detroit's
government Is that the scattering OF
responsibility takes the power far out
of the hands OF the people. A com
missioner Is appointed BIZ one mayor
and holds over into the term OF an
other, the different departments OF
ten being antagonistic to the chic
executive. Our city departments ar,
81 many little republics. each inde
pendent OF the others, and OF tn
mayor who is the nominal head OF tn
city. 1t speaks we'll for the chara'
ter OF the men who have held publ
Iof.ce that Detroit has had such goo
government under such a loose syI
tenn.
Il would like TO see the home rul
bill amended SO that the charter con
mission could make changes whic
would tend to unite the city govern
ment into a single organization, n
sponsible to the voters and easil
reached by the voters II results ar
Unsatisfactory"

Says Ii Would Require Police.
man on Every Corner TO
Enforce Measure

II would require police officer on
every car to- enforce the proposed
Penniman-Kiefer ordinance limiting
the number OF passengers TO be car
ried in a street car, said Fred Van
Fleet, who was secretary TO Mayor
Breitmeyer.
And the officers will be needed to
prevent passengers from crowding
into the cars, rather than force the
company TO obey the ordinance. The
people want more cars, lower fares
ard better service, but when you try
10 limit the number OF passengers TO
be carried in a car you are running
up against Different proposition.
The average passenger wants to get
10 and from his work as quickly as
possible. He will growl about the
service and the rate OF fare, but he
will board the first car that comes
along, even II he has to squeeze into
a crowded car. When you legislate

car you are bound TO cause trouble"
