ton on Nonpolitical Basis-Voters

In view of the fact that the camnaipn
ror revision OF the charter of the city
OF Richmond is already bearing fruit,
the adoress or Arthur Glasgow. of Lon
oon and Richmond, last night, to citi-
zens OF the East End in the auditorium
or Chimborazo School was of particular
interest The public addresses made
ny Mr Glasgow In behalf of reform IN
the municipal government to secure
more efficient administration are large
~ responsible for an aroused public
sentiment. which led to the effort of
Councilman Carter c. Jones, of Madi-
son Ward. to introduce in the Council
last night a resolution calling for
the appointment of commission TO
frame new charter for the city.
In discussing the present city char
ter. Mr.. Glasgow said that the people
had had two years to see how it would
work and ask themselves. Does 1t at
ford a certainty of getting the best re-
suits or even the barest possibility OF
getting efficient governments"
PRESENT CHARTER MEANS
LNEFFICIENCY, SAYS GLASGOW
General experience would have told
us that our present charter meant ex-
ecutive inefficiency: and we have now
bought and paid for our own SPECIFIC
experience. If we are willing to profit
By this combined experience, and will
deal unitedly with the situation in ways
which will soon be indicated. It can
be remedied at the next meeting of the
legislature"
Mr.. Glasgow urged the removal of
the limitations on the eligibility of

spective lines-to act as executive

NO ADEQUATE SUPPLY
OF TECHNICALLY TRAINED MEN

essential to the efficient administration
Of our city"
Mr.. Glasgow urged that the new
charter should take into consideration
the plans for Greater Richmond"
which Will require the expenditure Of
huge sums OF money in its develop
ment. This money, he said, should
he spent under the supervision OF ex-
perts In order to get the best possible
