The special committee on char.
ter revision Is losing no time In
perfec1ing its recommendations,
and IL Is believed that the entire
work of revising the Charter SO
that 1t may conform with the new
provisions will be completed In
time for the December meeting
OF the council.
The subcommittee, consisting
OF Alderman Ordway Pullcr. and
Counciimcn r. l. Peters and Nor
gan r.. Mills, will make . supplc-
mental report To the general com.
mfttec. which has been called to
meet this afternoon at S O'Clock.
and which will be passed on to
common council tonight.
This report will suggest time
for a joint session OF council to
receive nominations for the places
OF four directors, to be nominated
by the mayor; compensation for
the directors and quarters in the
city hall for the new officers.
Name New Directors.
Under the new charter, the mayor
must nominate directors for the fol-
lowing departments:
Public works.
Public welfare. '. y
Public utilities.
Public safety.
The heads of the departments Of
law and finance are elected >directly
by the council. The other four direc-
tors, who are to be nominated by the
mayor. are to be confirmed by coun-
Gil. This, of course, really puts the
whole matter up to council, for II the
nominees of the mayor are not ac
ceptabie to that body they need not
confirm.
While there has been little public
talk about the probH BILE personnel of
the various directors. 1t Is known that
some energetic activity has been dis
members OF council have been besieged
by friends Of various candidates.
1t Ia probable that the committee
at its meeting this afternoon will fix
upon the middle OF December as the
time for the joint session. This will
give all candidates plenty of time to
conduct their campaigns, 1t Is believed.
and It will place a limit upon all &C
tivities and give the heads OF the d.
visions two weeks within which to ia
miliarixe themselves with the work.
There is some differences Of opinion
among councilmen as to the salary
limit. 1t is generally conceded that
where men are to be secured for tech
ntcal knowledge. al we'll AZ for ex-
ecutive ability 1t will be no easy job.
unless an attractive figure in salary
is attached to the offer. For instance.

partment OF utilities. who must be an
expert in water. gas. electricity, would
demand a large salary. This detail,
however. will be discussed and settled
