REBELS FORMING Circle AROUND oHAG TO RENEW ATTACK ON M CITY

Nate employees subject to the at
prevail Of the council
This is q complete deviation from
the pre&t nj charter. II places the re-
sponsibility OF all details of city
government Gu nan whose business
it is to attend 10 the details and il
a way concentrates The power. Here
tofore There have been six aldermen,
each having q certain work OF the
city to attend to; one to look out
for street and bridge work, one eS-
ercteing power over water works,
etc, The city manager shall take
this work upon himself and he alone
shall be held responsible for 1t. The
city manager idea is in no way orig
nfal with tie charter commission. 1t
/, IN voPle In many cities in Texas
Among those cities are Denton, WI
tl4ita Fails and Terrell. In the east
th: idea is widely prevalent and none
OF The cities who have adopted this
manager idea have yet found grounds
to be dissatisfied with the action.
4. The Offices Of cit. secretary
and assessor and collector OF city
taxes shall be combined He shall
be elected by the people.
AT present these Offices are sepa-
rate and distinct.
). The city attorney shall lie
elected by the city council. At
present he is elected by the citizen
ship
8 The city marshal shall be
elected by the people,
This is no change from the present
method Of selecting the marshal.
!. THE bank or person Offering
most tor tie use OF the city's funds
shall be treasurer. The city treas
urar under tire existing charter Is
eleeped by the people.
On the whole, the provisions that
have been made BY the commission
are in line with the methods that
hare been adopted by practically all
the progressive cities The idea is
TO concentrate. The people will elect
their mayor and councilInen at
large. This body appoints the city
manager and looks to him for all
detail business of the city. The citi-
zcns look TO the councilmen. The
it.ea, as said before. is merely com

Value of cocose as Butter.

Cocose is the name of a French prod uct manufactured from copra, probab- ly with the addition of small quantities of other substances, which is gaining great popularity among Mohammedans and Hindus for use as a butter. It's peculiar recommendation, as compared with other butter substitutes. is that it contains no trace of hog fat or beef tallow, and hence does no violence to religious ideas.
