Members Of Charter Body
Talk Strong For This
MEET HELD LAST NIGHT
Ward Boundaries Will Not Be
Slashed; Many Matters Are
...E Discussed

Changes in the ward boundries
of the city were not favored by the
charter commission members last
night at their meeting held in the
city hall. +. NJ Currier, chairman
OF the committee appointed to look
into the advisability of changing the
voting precincts and ward boundries,
stated that that was the conclusion
of the committee. 1t was thought
that the elections could be handled
in the several precincts by putting on

]. MahoWald the recommendations
of the committee were adopted, and

concerned, no changes will be made
in ward boundries. .#
Chairman w. r. Hammett of the

said that he had not called his com,
mittee together, but his personal
should be held in the fall. New city
officers taking their seats in April
were put at a disadvantage in the
way of getting spring work prop
erly started. He stated that if the
city elections were held in the fall,
and the officers take their seats
say January first, proper time would
be given for the getting Of material
and of letting contracts for work in
the early spring. Mr. Hammett said
that for that reason he was strictly
in the fall He would also favor the
holding of the school election at the
same time, which would result in a
great saving to the tax payers. ..

be favorable to fall elections and the
holding of the election on Mondays

statements of Mr. Hamiston. Adolph
Mueller also favored fall election for
the reasons stated by Mr. Hammett.
