GIVES EXPLANATION OF
COM. AND NEW CHARTER

Continued from page one.)
is ended when the charter has been
voted on and adopted If they can
revive themselves when the charter
is found invalid two months after its
adoption they can revive themselves
If it was held invalid two years or any
length of time afterwards which would
be treading on dangerous ground,
In my opinion commission has no
authority to reassemble itself because
the charter has never been properly
submitted than it would If held inval-
id because of any other defect. Amend
ments and changes necessary have to
be made in the charter in order to
properly resubmit it and if the Char
ter Commission could make some
changes thew could make any number
of changes they desired and practical
ly submit a new charter.
For these reasons it seems to me,
without question, that the Charter
Commission cannot act again without
being reelected"
After reading the above you will
see there was nothing further that
the Charter Commission could do,
and while we regret the expense and
effort lost, it was an error very large
ly chargeable to the office of the
States Attorney and not to anyone
locally.
If the citizens of Belding are still
DESTROYS of having a new Charter it
will be necessary for the City Council
to make provision for the election of
a Charter Commission at the next
spring election in the same manner
that was done before. If this is done
would suggest and recommend that
the same Charter Commission be elect
ed, if they can be persuaded to accent,
inasmuch as they are familiar at the
present time with the new Charter as
submitted, and with the general con-
ditions surrounding Charters covering
municipalities of about our size.
Many small comrnumities have been
largely benefited by adopting a SIM
liar form of government as proposed
in the new Charter.
Many serious defects of the present
Charter some day, unless changed, will
cause this community more or less
trouble and expense.
Yours very truly,
r. HI. Hall.

Apostle spoons. also called gossip
spoons" were gilt spoons given by the
sponsors or ''gossIps" TO a child at its
christening. They were so called be-
cause each spoon had a eyure Of an
apostle on the handle. Wealthy peo-
pie gave the whole twelve Apostles;
those Of less means and generosity
gave the four EyangeIIsts; while poor
er persons had to be contented with
one, being generally the figure of the
donors or Of the child's patron saint.

tributor to our literature has 20 vivid
ly brought out this fanciful use Of
bells as has Edgard Allen Poe In his
poem entitled "The Bells"
The feature which characterixes the
programs Of the Dunbar Quartette Is
the absolute blending Of their selec-
lions into a complete whole. There Is
a consistency In these programs which
has distinguished them among all the
Lyceum and ChautauQua attractions
Of the last double decade. No feature
will be remembered longer than the
beautiful chimes and harmonies which
are introduced In their sacred selec-
lions. Their original transcription In
which are heard excerpts Of beautiful
songs sung by the players accompanied
By the bells will be counted by many
the most beautiful music they have
ever heard. The young men introduce
. suflicient amount Of humor to Ieaven
the program properly and to sustain
the reputation long held By the Dun
bars ~ musical entertainers sxtradtl

A Surprise

On Thursday evening a company of
ladies were most happily entertained
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A.
Wheeler, but not by invitation.
In some way it got out that Mr..
Wheeler was out of town and so the
ladies simply walked in, each carrying
a. small parcel which later proved to
be something good to eat.
A social good time was enjoyed.
Mrs. Wheeler recovering from her
surprise, lunch served and then they
went home.
