DENIES NEW CHARTER

The charge that the new municipai
charter has muddled the city's finances
is absolutely lacking in foundation. ac =
cording to statement issued by
the Bureau of Municipal Research.
Tho statement says no extraordinary
session of the Legislature is needed be-
cause of anything in the charter; and
that so far as its finance provisions are
concerned there can be no possible doubt
regarding its constitutionality.
In part. the statement discusses tn"
matter as follows:
"Somc of the statements attributed
to persons in high places that hav"
appeared in the newspapers are so
alien to what is contained In the tax =
payers bill of complaint, and are SO
sensational. that it is patent that their
primary purpose is to discredit the
charter and its supporters.
"The only point raised in the tax =
payers suit is whether the prohibition
against borrowing for current eX

after July %. or also to loans author

Many Flee in Their Nightolothes
When cambridge Street
Fire Starts
HOMES ARE BADLY DAMAGED

Scores Of persons in nightclothes ran
from their homes during fire in the
rear of 734 Bainbridge street early to-
day.
The blaze began in n frame carpenter
shop in which n quantity of furniture
was stored. Rose Meyer. sixteen year
old daughter of Frank Meyer, owner of
the shop, was the first to discover the
fire. The reflection of the flames lit up
her bedroom in the Meyer home in front
of the shop.
She aroused her parents and their
three other children and they escaped
to the street. Then Meyer awakened
Lemuel and Eliza Watson, negroes,
living in house adjoining the burning
building, and they ran to safety.
BY this time the street in the rear of
the building was peoplcd with scores of
Italians frantically running to safety in
their nightclothes or working to move
their furniture away from the flames.
The carpenter shop was destroyed
The rear of the Meyer home was badly
damaged by. fire, as was also the home
of the Watsons. Several others of the
adjoining buildings were damaged.
