DEADLOCK OVER
CHARTER CHANGE
Two Branches of Council Seem
Hoptlessly Divided on De-
partment Transfers.

With tho two branches OF the City
Council now at deadlock over the
proposed charter changes. there Is some
chance of a change of position on the
part Of the Board of Aldermen when
II meets on February 10, for 1t has been
authoritatively stated that there may
be enough votes then to swerve tho
Board to concurrence with the Council
on the points now in dispute.
The measure over which there has
been the most debate, and on which
the two branches are the most hope
empower the City Council to place tho
Police. Fire and Health Departments
under the control OF the Administra-
tive Board, IL such u change should
ever in the future be deemed expedi-
ent. The opponents of this measure
base their opposition chiefly on the
fear that the employees OF the three
independent departments might be dis
organized by the constant threat OF
changing their control. Morgan r.
Mills has suggested that q compromise
be effected by meeting the Issue d.
rectiy and asking the Legislature to
give the control of these departments
to the Administrative Board at once.
This would meet the views of many
who arc now opposed to leaving the
matter to the discretion of some future
Council. and their votes would be suf-
hcient to bring about the adoption OF
the measure.
Another point that has caused much
dispute Is Alderman Melton's provision,
inserted by the Board of Aldermen,
that any member of the Administrative
Board be inhibited from being a can
didate for any remunerative municipal
office while member of the board, or
within. one year after the expiration of
MS term. The Common Council voted
n~I
Melton will probably insist that the
measure be retained in the charter
changes when the Board meets again.
II the Board of Aldermen fails Of
concurrence. the only recourse left Is
TO ask for committee on conference,
and that can come only from the AL
dermen Otherwise the matter will be-
como a dead issue. and there will be
no chance for change in the charter
until 1916.
