CHARTER Commission
MEETS AGAIN TONIGHT

Members of the City Charter Com
mission, consisting of the Mayor and
City Council, and ten taxpaying citi.
zens. vii hold another meeting tonight
in the Municipal Building
The fact that greater interest has
been shown by the members, as indi-
Gated by the attendance at the past
two meetings, and the several sub-com-
mittees have been at work for several
weeks on the problems that were laid
before them, it is thought that some
thing definite by way of budget of
proposed legislation TO be submitted
at the present session of the Legisla-
ture. will be decided upon. The pro-
posed annexation OF Eastport and Ger
mantown territory. and several other
questions have been thoroughly
threshed out at previous meetings. so
it is felt that one or more final re
ports of committees may come before
tonight's meeting.

PLANS FOR MEMORIAL
HAVE BEEN REVISED
Governor To Co-opefate In The
States Tribute To
Heroes
FOR EARLY CONFERENCE

Possibilities of an early conference
between Governor Richie and Mayor
Broening of Baltimore on the subject
Of a/memorial to Maryland soldiers
and sailors who died in She war now
loom bright. Both the Governor and
the Mayor declared they were willing
to cooperate in the appointment OF a
single committee that could plan the
memorial and establish 1t with mini
mum of friction.
Il will be glad to talk with Mayor
Broening or. with anybody else about
| it, said Governor Ritchie. Before
we take any action, however, should
like to be sure whether or not the old
committees appointed by former Gov
ernor Harrington and Mayor Preston
are still in existence If they are
they should be consulted. But | think
the idea of joint committee appoint
ed by the Mayor of Baltimore and the
| Governor of Maryland is good one"
Mayor Broening said:
81 have had the idea of such a joint
committee in mind for some time. and
have recently considered. asking he
Governor to cooperate in the appoint
ment of a soldiers andl sailors me-
mortal commission that Should repre-
sent the whole State, and Baltimore

1t will be remembered that 1t was
the existence of two committees work
ing at cross purposes thar delayed
action upon the wal memorial more
than a year ago. One was appo,nte1
bf former Governor Harlils.na ana
one by former Mayor Preston. Not
only did they differ as to the nature of
the memorial itself, but they could not
agree upon the scope of its signifi-
canoe. The Governors committee
wanted the memorial to represent the
States reverence for the memories of
every soldier in the State of Maryland.
The Mayors committee wanted 1t to
represent Baltimore city alone.
Nothing has been done and even dis
cussions of the matter have ceased
since the early weeks in 1919. John r..
Bland. chairman of former Mayor
Preston's committee, has declared that
that body is officially out of existence.
Members of former Governor Harring
tons committee are uncertain whether
that body is still functioning or not or
whether it ought to be.
