Whereas. This organization. repre-

in fact the rate considering the as

Charter
AGAIN Discussed
Chamber of Commerce Fav-
OrS Amendments to the
Measure
COMMITTEES
WILL WORK AGAIN

At the luncheon of the membership
council of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday the committee appointed to
confer with the Civic Association with
respect to the draft OF the proposed new
charter, made report favoring amend
ments to the present charter along the
lines Indicated in the annual address of
John j. Satterthwait president of th'
Chamber of Commerce, rather than that
an effort be made to have new char
ter measure enacted
Irving Warner. ON behalf of the char
ter committee of the Civic Association
filed an answer TO some of the obiec.
tiuns of the Chcmber of Commerce com
mittcc to the present u.aft, closing with
the request that the charter be referred
back to the committee for one more
conference, which was by resolution de-
cided ON.
The Chamber of Commerce committee
reported that it had no fault TO find in
the general outline of the draft and de-
clared that the city was in need of a
non-partisan business government. The
committee suggested AN amendment Of
the present charter. The members fail.
ed TO approve the plan submitted under
which a board Of five commissioners i.
elected from the city. as they bcliev,
that such plan would eventually plac,
the city in complete control of tn,
dominant political party. II is set fortl
that this phase will require grave an,
mature consideration, especially So be-
cause the election board is to be ap
pointed and removed by the commission
ers.
The draft submitted, reported the
committee, does not contain provis-
ions sufficiently specific to even guide
the commissioners as TO their duties
in carrying on the municipal govern
ment. I'VE can see no way in which
the government of the city may be
carried on during the interval be-
tween the retiring of the present Off
Gers ard employees. and the COM
mencement of the new regime" states
The committee, "for the reason that
the present council cannot pass
orGinancs absolutely essential 10

the proposed charter. It has no au-
thority TO do so: and under the pro-
visions of the new charter il must

Then add with an air convincing she
wishes she'd never seen
A person who thinks so little of
breaking a woman's heart,
And since he is-well-what he is
it's better that we should part.
Now, no man enjoys this performance

He doesn't want to hear them named

The Hills of Rest.

Beyond the last horizons rim,
Beyond adventures farthest quest,
Somewhere they rise, serene and dim,
The happy, happy Hills of Rest.
Upon their sunlit slopes uplift
The castles we have have built in
Spain,
While fair amid the summe drift
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours We did not live go by
To soothing note, on scented wing;
In golden-lettered volumes lie
rhe songs we tried in ain to sing
They all are there: the days of dream
That build the inner lives of men;
The silent, sacred years we deem
The might be and the might have
been.
Some evening when the sky is gold
I'll follow day into the west;
Nor pause, nor heed, till | behold
The happy. happy Hills of Rest.
