City Charter Changes Are Imperative; Mayor To Speed Up Action On Project

Mayor Fred Atwater regards charter changes as imperative. He will not permit delay in a task which he believes so nec- essary.
 He said today, in talking with a representative of The Bridge port Times: "When the petition for charter change Is presented to me, 1 shall scrutinize it care fully and expedite it as much as possible. TEere are some things that ought to be done now; some that may be left for a later period.
 '"The ordinary course of charter getting, under the Home Rule plan, would not produce a new charter be- fore 1925 I want all the people who will vote upon the charter change question to do so in the understanding that we ought to get some important changes immediately, without waiting long"
 Considering Changes.
 What changes do you think are most necessary at once?'' he was asked.
 t'The mayor should have more power to execute the responsibilities imposed upon him. The mayor, or the other chief officer, whatever the title may be. should have authority to coordinate. and properly super wise every branch of the government, of which he is the head. I refer to executive duties. Legislation should not be the function of the mayor.
 Many things go on which are more or Jess out of tune, because the may or has no authority to intervene. The city Is like business interprise which has many competent foremen, but no general manager. ''The mayor is in a limited sense general manager. but without much power. Indeed, his very presence in some departm ents is, under our pres ent charter, an intrusion.
