what town they own their own prop
erty in under this new charter.
The legislature in 1915 passed law
allowing municipal corporations to
change their charters by vote of the
people, but this charter could not
stand the inspection of the public.
1t was sent over to Tallahassee and
passed under a special act. 1t is my
belief that Messrs. Light and Crosby
did not carry out their wishes, but
carried out the instructions from their
political bosses. 1 went over to Tai
lahassee and carried a petition over
there with one hundred and sixty
names on it asking that the referen-
dunn clause be added to this charter
so that the people could vote on it in
Ocala. However, these gentlemen did
not see fit to let the people vote on
this matter. If the people of Ocala
have sense enough to accumulate
property they certainly have sense
enough to know how to vote on
matter governing the same.
Also note with interest DR.. Chace's
open letter to Judge VIM. M. Gober,
and in the same the last paragraph
reads like this: ''I state further that
the people had passed upon the char
ter most favorably in well advertis-
ed and a most representative mass
meeting, and that only those who
we're anxious to defeat the charter by
further delay and controversy, were
interested in having the matter sub
mitted to popular vote"
Now, the way I understand this por-
ton of DR.. Chace's article is that this
was mass meeting for the benefit of
the public, but if you do not agree
with this new charter and the people
that wrote it, you were only trying to
defeat it, instead of having the mat
ter submitted to the voters. l was
at this meeting, and I counted the
number Of people in the room, and
there were only 81, representing a
town of seven thousand people
took this matter up. with the chair
man, DR.. Chace, and asked him if he
did not believe that this was too big
a proposition for a small crowd of
citizens like this to handle without
vote of the people? His answer to
me was that it would only save a de-
lay. However, we had about seven
months to pass this charter in, so
see no reason for rush, and just at
this time must say I am in favor of
change in the city council The
candidates who are opposing the coun-
cilmen who are now in office are all
property owners and gentlemen that
show good business records There
would be no reason why they should
not be given a trial
Respectfully submitted,
II. W. TUCKER.
