MANY CHARTER TYPES IN

Only Method Considered, T.
r. White Announces

The tentative draft of new city charter
submitted to a subcommittee of the Cen
eral Committee on the Revision Of the City
Charter yesterday by Clinton Rogers Wood
run, former chairman Of the Board Of
Registration Commissioners and secretary OF
the National Municipal League, Is not the
only bill to be considered. Thomas Rae
burn White, member OF the subcommittee
announced today that other proposed char
ters would be drafted and that after all
have been carefully considered public dis
cussion of the different plans would be in
vited
The subcommittee took no action on the
tentative draft as submitted and in n
statement announced that 1t would study
It carefully. II also invited discussion
OF the general propositions advanced from
any or all citizens interested in the move
ment to change the Bullitt bill and make
the city government more up to date
The subcommittee, which met and which
received Mr. Woodruffs proposaI ono based
on model charter prepared by the Ma
tonal Municipal League, was appointed a
short time ago by John c. winston chair
man OF the General Committee on the Re.
vision of the City Charter. The subcom-
mittee was to prepare drafts OF any change
or changes TO be proposed in the present
Bullitt bill The point seemingly enpha.
sized IN the name of the committee ia "Re
vision of the city Charter" Mr. woodruff
offered completely new charter. 1t Is
believed that his proposal going SO far
beyond the scope indicated by the name
OIL the committee. led to much discussion
In the meeting and finally to the halting
of the plan to publish the copy Of the
charter And, further, to the announce
ment that the copy had mot even been
tentatively approved"
In political circles It was understood
tho diplomacy of Mr. White and the com
mlttee In general was prompted by a de-
sire on their part to remove any idea
that the Committee on Revision might be
distinctly antagonstlc to the present city
administration. In fact, the general com.
mittee, of which Mr. Winston is chair
man, has indicated TO the Mayor its desire
to work In harmony with him for the pub
lie good and in a campaign of education
