 In a a.Christian Citizenship sefyicesSun4 5day night at TIT rtnity aIetfodqsts piscopai church. James e aacpherso1s one of che members of the special chaetar revision commission. spoke the final pabffc word in adNocaty of the adoption of; tae revised charter for Norwich by the citizens at the city election today tAIpnday)
 MT. Macpherson called attention at the outset of his talk 10 the fact that this was hot a political or partisan question, but the whole tendeney.,s nf the revised charter waste extracts politics as far as possible for the city business AdQp= tion of the charter would De the openlng of the door of new opportunity for Nor
 wich. The revised charter had been forTnulated by a commission of five re puJicaIs and four demicrats, appointed
 by the mayor without previous sconsulta- ;srfon with any of them, and the instrument they had prepared and were submitting F.to st4le voters Ehas the unanimous approV- al of the nine members of the commits: sion. l Norwich is. the first city to take al vantage of the .home rule plan 1T adopting q charter and, ihere are some vital changes made from .he old charter that will bring the city up to the aland-
 ard of all the progressive cttiss around us. The city is a business enterprise thai l does aaebusiness annually of -bet@een I million and a million and aa
 half dollars, one departmeni alone handling S550,000 year and no
 under control of the city. One important i change will be to make the fiscal year D i all departments correspond to the acaleH | dar year, providing for uniformity ana agreement between the Department re l ports and the city treasurers repor i which is now impossible
 Another important change in the re l districting of the city into six district instead of four, each to elect aidermA
 in proportion to the population. Th I present central district which, since tn 1 women have been yCsing, is one of tn | largest voting districts. These will b l the central, with three a1dernen, tn north with two aldermen, and the soutl | 6Laurel HID with one alderman Greene 1 vile and the West Side will each hay i two aldermen, and the East Side c1ie: Tn ! aldermen will be elected by the voter 1 in their own districts. one alderman t 1 about TOO voters.
 l The board of eleven aldermen wi take the place of the present conmo Icouncil. the city government will D lsubdivided into three departments-leg is1ative, which is the board Of alder
