day when the amended city charter.
adopted at the last session OF the
General Assembly. becomes effective
The new charter brings several radical
changes from the old order of things.
The amended charter has been com
piled by Richmond T. Lacy, Jr.. of the
City Attorneys office. under the di-
rection OF City Attorney Pollard 1t
includes an unusually useful index, the
amendments made at the sessions OF
the Legislature of 1914 and 1916 be-
ing separated in order 10 facilitate
speedy reference TO the new features
AT the direction of the Administra-
tive Board. Mr.. Lacy has had the
amended charter published in pamph-
distribution TO all heads of city de-
partments to-day
Probab bly, the most conspicuous
change in the charter is tina, which
brings the Police Department under
the control of the Mayor. and abolishes
the Board Of Police Commissioners.
The board ended its labors al a meet
ing last night ana Win the sounding
Of the midnight hour went out of
office.
The charter also does away with the
Board of Health and brings the
Health Department. with other divis-
ions of the city government, under the
direction of the Administrative Board.

Another new provision OF the char
ter is that no member of the City
Council shall be eligible during his
tenure Of office. or for one year there
after, 20 any Office or employment in

ment under the control of the Admin

hih!ted the Council from electing a
member Of the Council to any city
office, or until he had been out of office
for one year. This provision is re-
tanned.
II is also provided that before any
