After the wordy tilt showed that no

ment and plan of the charter was good
though, perhaps, mistakes in phraseol-
ogy were made. Mr.. Gehlhar stated also
that several hundred citizens of the
city had been consulted by the commits
sion TO find their views on the matter
To this statement Councilman Spauld.

that if any one was to be consulted

He said he wanted to hear the plan

certain phrases. He said there was
scarcely a law on the Oregon statute
