progressive changes inVethe. charter.
He said in part
Those who opposed the adoption OF
the charter prepared by the charter
commission asserted that the worthy
provisions OF that document could be
secured by piece-meal amendment OF

supreme court upon the validity OF the
Nerdter bill, the home rule bill, put
beyond legal question the power OF
the municipality to amend its charter
piece-meal We who opposed the char
ter claimed in good faith that the
method OF revising the charter by
Pieee-meal amendment would result in
getting the desirable reforms without
having to take the undesirable
changes with them.
Il am here today as a matter OF
good faith TO urge upon you the pro-
priety and importance of early sub

Judge Connolly enumerated several
changes, including the creation . OF

The Magma mine is considered one of
the best copper producers in the state.
1t has not been developed into a big
producer, but its ore is of exception
