S;lverton Must
Change Charter

Silverton, Sept. 9-The new cleo
tion law enacted by the last legis-
lature seems to conflict with the
charter of the city of Silverton so
far as the time of election is con-
ecrned. and unless Silverton speeds
up little in the matter OF Great
ing a new charter, the city is likely
to be without officers for at least
one month this year If the officers
comply with the charter.
Heretofore elections have been
held the first Monday in May. The
council proposes to comply with
the state law this year and the
next municipal election will be
held in November at the time or
the general election. Under the
provisions of the city charter,
newly elected officers are supposed
to qualify at the next regular meet
ing OF the council succeeding the
election whihc will come this year
on the first Monday in December.
terms of retiring officers expire as
soon as their SUCCESSORS qualify.
But the state law provides that the
newly elected officers shall take
their offices on the first Of Janu-
airy. Consequently, between the
first of December and the first of
January there will be no city off.
cials IL the charter and the state
laws are complied with, unless IA
new charter is granted by the peo-
pie by or before that time.
