 Phoenix. Arizona March II. 1913 To the Chairman and Members of the Committee of one Hundred and Twenty five:
 Your charter sub committee re spectfully submits this report which embraces it's labors in the prepara- ton of amendments to the charter disapproved by the governor. which. in our opinion. obviate his objectins thereto,
 Your committee also found it ne cessary to correct. alter and amend certain provisions of the charter, oth- CT than those dsapproved by the governor. in order to bring into har- mony the various provisions Of the charter and remove antiquities there in. However. such alterations and amendments in no way materially change the fundamental principles contained in the charter.
 Your committee under the author ity granted to it to change any DOT lions of the charter which conflict with the state constitution. and u make any other corrections or al terations they deemed necessary, did not deem that il was authorized to change alter. or amend the charter in fundamental matters therein con tained: therefore it confined it's work to preparing and submitting amend ments removing the objections of the governor thereto. and supplying obvious omissions therein so as to harmonize and clarfy the charter as whole
 We herewith submit the amend ments prepared by your sub commit tee. which we believe fully remove the objections of the governor to the charter supplies the omissions therein contained harmonizes its various provisions and clears up its antiquities.
