The supreme courts action In find
fng tho Verdier act constitutional
caused a great deal OF rejoicing In the
city hall, for two reasons. One was
that the measures for which the city
has commended, are legalized. The
other was that II gives opponents OF
the new charter terrible weapon 10
use against It
The courts action legalizes the
municipal ownership amendment to
the present charter, adopted in the
spring OF 1913, after the passage OF
the Verdier law. giving the city the
right to acquire, by purchase or con
demnation, the street railway prop
critics.
II legalizes the increase In the
city's bonding limit from two to four
per cent, thus providing the means
to begin the acquisition OF the street
railway.
II iegalizes the civil service amend
ment to the charter, also adopted In
the spring election.
II legalizes the increase OF 3d.
c0O, 900 In the bonded indebtedness OF
the water board. allowing for sadly
needed Improvements in the city's wa
ter system.
II makes possible piecemeal amend
ments TO the present charter.
These things are included IN the
new charter, and II would have been
necessary to adopt this charter, which

court had declared against the sec
ton Of the Verdier act which allows
piecemeal amendments to existing
charters.
But with the handing down OF this
decision, city hall sentiment. which al

10. Because there is no prOvi-
sion for a land tax similar 70 the
single tax, and no provision TO tax
the unearned increment on real
estate values.
II. Because there Is no provi-
sion that guarantees free speech.
We believe this matter should be
mentioned IN the charter because
we have been denied our consu-

lice commissioner.
