ReUisiOnists Yield
on City Contracts


he did not know this afternoon that
the charter revisionists had yielded un
til informed by an EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER reporter.
Mr.. Schaffer in the conferences with
the charter conferees held out for the
majority vote.
He declared that if Philadelphia was
to get a representative council he could
see no reason why restrictions should be
placed around it.
'.If there are 300 900 voters in Phila =
delphia. Mr.. Schaffer told the cOnterees.
and 151 900 of them vote to continue
the contract system, through the cleo
ton Of councilmen favorable to that
system. don't you think the majority
should rule through their representatives
in council!'
The contract clause in the charter
bills was the big bone of contention,
and with it's elimination no further
serious trouble is anticipated over any
of the other provisions in the Wood
ward measures.
Fight Believed Over
Skirmishes may develop here and
there over minor details, but it is felt
around the capitol that the big fight is
over.
With the contract clause and thu
single chamber council section regarded
as disposed Of there is little else in the
bill over which either faction would put
up any serious fight.
The Ware forces object to the section
requiring the appointment of the city
solicitor by the Mayor and the section
abolishing the office of receiver and plac-
ing the collection of taxes under the
jurisdiction of the city treasurer.
''While no agreement has been reach =
ed on any other details of the bills, -
said Attorney General Schaffer this af -
ternOon, ~ think that there is a gen
ersl understanding on both sides that
harmonious arrangement will be per
fected."
