series of meetings will be held on Mon
day night. Chairman w. d. Walton
who represents New Castle, says that it
is his intention to have an informal
discussion of bills prior to the hearings
so that the committeeman may get the
views and suggestions. Numerous let
ters have been received by him, many
of them suggesting changes not made
by bills, but which he thinks the COM
mitteemen should discuss. He has
invited some of the >men making these
suggestions,
The principal bill to be taken up
next week will be that establishing
civil service for policemen and flremen
in the third class cities on which diff
ference of opinion exists as to some
details and to which it has been sug-
gested that employees of the electrical
departments be added. There will be
a talk on this bill on Monday night and
a formal hearing on Tuesday.
The next third class city bill to be
considered will be that establishing
bureau of steam and hot water fit

ting, to which Allentown and some
other cities have objected because of
expense and which is advocated by
some western cities and by members
of the steam filters organizations.
Another act is that proposing to
take away from mayors the onerous
duties of holding police courts and
combining their work to the hearing of
charges of violation of city ordinances.
This measure has been urged for years
by mayors of some of the larger cities
who object to being compelled to
hear drunks and petty offenders.
The bill changing the provisions for
the initiative and referendum and that
putting in the recall will come along
later.
