Preliminary Steps to Be
Taken to Frame New
Charter
FOR COMMISSION FORM
With City Manager Is
Plan-Public Hear
ings Later

For the purpose of laying prellml-
nary plans for the revising of the city
charter the committee of five, COM
posed of F. J. Fearnside, chairman,
]. L. Waits, B. M. Jarrett5 Frank D.
Wattles and R. F. Adams, will meet
tonight and prepare for the formal
consideration Of a charter and for
public hearing on each section as
completed.
The committee will have before it
various charters in successful opera
ton in other cities, as we'll as the eX-
r2riences of other cities the size of
Palatka in preparing satisfactory
charters. These will all be given due
consideration in framing the Palatka
charter, and any objection that may
/ be entertained by the tax payers will
be considered at public hearings.
! Abolition of all ward lines is un-
derstood to be one of the primary de-
cisions Of the committee in framing
the rev charter, electing the COM
missioners at large and from among
nominees to be made as the people see
fit. The number of commissioners
! has also practically been decided as
five, instead of three, which some
seemed to think was sufficient, tend
ing to increase the efficiency of the
! commission. These commissioners
as now being considered, would be
elected for terms of office of one,
two, three, four and five years each,
and thereafter one new commission
er to be elected every year, so that
the commission would be changed In
personnel completely every five years
Referendum and Recall
Like all commission form charters
the new charter will carry referen-
dunn and recall, as we'll as the initia-
tive. The referendum is for the pur-
! pose Of having the people approve OF
disapprove any ordinance legislation
wherever any objection might be rails
ed. The Recall would provide thai
in the event any member of the com
mission was not satisfactory that 8
petition could be circulated asking
that an election be held for his recall
The initiative provides that whenever
the citizens wish a specific bit of leg.
islaton passed and the COMMISSION de
c,ines to do so it can be initiated al
the polls.
nj other words the charter that il
j IS proposed to submit to the people
: will be a modern, city manager com
mission form, with all of the safe
guards that are usually throw
around a modern government for tht
increasing of efficiency and reduc
ton of operating expenses.
As soon as the charter is complete'
it will probably be submitted AM
read at a mass meeting where every
one will have an opportunity of rails
ing objections or making suggestions
9 1t will then be sent to the legislatur
for enactment into law. But even af
, ter it is passed by the legislature
will be referred to the people for Fl
nal ratification at the polls.

Announcement that the injunction
against the Southern Utilities COM
pany charging more than the fran
chse rate for electric current has
been sustained will cause little sur
prise here, as this is believed to be
the second phase of the case, and
basis for appeal to higher courts on
confiscation charges. The city is un-
der bond to the company, but the
granting of the permanent injunc-
tion eliminates the consideration of
a bond, it is said.
