May Have TO CALL
SPECIAL ELECTION
Is Before City Council, But
They Have Taken No
Action as Yet.

Will the new city charter be voted
upon at the general election Novern-
Der 3, or at a special election called
later?
Just at present this question is per-
picking members of the charter COM
The charter has been submitted to
the city authorities, and the council
is to fix the date for balloting upon
1t. The proposition was not submitted
to the council at the last regular
meeting, and. a few days after. Mayor
O'Leary called special meeting to
consider the question. Only three
members reported, however, and con-
sequently no action could be taken.
The election is one week from Tues
day, and. If the charter is to be voted
on at that time. the council will have
to take immediate action. Otherwise,
a special election will be necessary.
The charter has been printed in
pamphlet form, and is being distri-
buted today.
One of the important provisions is
the re-districting of the city into five
wards. with an alderman from each
instead of four wards with a ward
alderman and two at large.
The ward boundaries are described
The first ward shall embrace all
lands lying south Of the Red Lake
river within the city limits.
The second ward shall embrace all
lands lying north Of the Red River
and south of the tracks Of the Great
Northern Railway company in said
city.
The third ward shall embrace all
that pat Of the city lying east of the
west line Of section one (1) and north
OF the tracks Of the said Great North
ern Railway company.
The fourth ward shall embrace all
lands lying between Dover avenue
main track of the Great Northern
Railway company In said city.
The fifth ward shall embrace all
lands lying within said city and not
embraced in any Of the wards herein
before described.
Water Commission Retained.
The Water and Light commission.
which was first appointed in 1909. is
retained. The present members of
the commission are to retain their Of
fices until their terms expire and un-
til their successors have been appoint
ed. The powers and duties Of the
commission are practically the same
as at present.
Another important provision is that
regarding the payment OF liquor IL
cense fees. Liquor licenses first were
granted in April Of each year. but a
couple Of years ago the present coun-
Gil changed the time Of issuance to
November. The new charter provides
that they be issued and paid for in
January. This. 1t is believed, will
take the liquor license question out
Of politics. 1t gives the council elect
ed in the November election the pow
er Of saying who shall have licenses.
The charter commission has spent
practically all summer in drawing up
the charter. The provisions make a
few important changes. but for the
most part they are designed to make
the charter At present-day conditions.
The changes. 1t Is believed, will work
for the better adjustment Of city af-
fairs.
