STATE HOUSE. Dover. Del, Jan.
Representative Brogan, OF will
mington, introduced a bill in the
House this morning which, If It be-
comes a law. will probably greatly
decrease the number OF assaults with
revoivers, because OF the drastic pro-
visions OF the bill
An effort is being made at the sug-
gestion of the Federal Government
to get a uniform law on the penalties
for carrying revolvers in all the
states. and the Brogan bill is carry
ing out that idea.
The Brogan bill provides that IL
an armed person who has no per-
nit to carry a revolver attempts n
crime he shall be imprisoned for
FIVE to ten years, and for second
and third offense this imprison-
ment may he doubled or tripled,
and for a fourth offense the guilty
person may he imprisoned for life.
NO unnaturalized foreign born
person nor any person who has been
convicted of felony would he per-
mltted TO own revolver or have
one in his or her possession. and
II convicted OF having such a weap-
on would be liable to five years, i'm
prisonment.
The Chief Of Police I'm Whining
ton or the Sheriff OF any of the
counties may issue q permit to
carry a revolver when satisfied the
applicant has reason to fear bodily
harm and under certain restrictions.
Their sale Ia also regulated under
numerous conditions and heavy
penalties and for selling to a minor
n dealer may he fined from 500 TO
81 900 and serve from three months
to a year in Jail.

$500 for each commissioner. with
$500 additional for the Mayor.
Members Of the Mayors Advisory
Board divided on the salary ques-
ton at the meeting yesterday. ma
jority favoring a higher figure than
$500. believing that sum too low to
attract competent men for the
work
In this connection It has been
reported that Mayor Harvey at the
previous conference OF the Advisory
Board with Chairman Walker
on the proposed charter. ad-
vocated a salary Of $4,000 a year
for a city manager. This statement
was erroneous, the Mayor naming
no figure whatever as a city man
ayers salary.
Mr.. Walker, who presided at yes
terday's meeting read those sections
of the draft of the measure which
were not taken up at the meeting
last Friday afternoon. There was no
discussion of the proposal to elm
mate the Board OF Farbor Commits
sioners from the operation OF the
proposed commission-clty manager
plan OF city government.
Will Get Final Revision
The draft OF the bill now goes back
to the Citizens Charter Committee
for final revision and approval Mr.
Walker is hopeful that this work can
be completed this week so that the
bill will be ready for introduction
at Dover, early next week. He viii

in few days.
Prospects for the passage OF the
bill by the Legislature are regarded
as doubtful Informally, some city
oficials attending Yesterdays meet
ing expressed the opinion that the
measure could not pass unless 1t is
made more acceptable to the Dem
ocrats, who control the General AS
sembly.'
Democratic opposition Is expected
to be concentrated on that feature
of the measure providing for a COM
mission or Council OF Ave members
elected at large. Democratic leaders
take the position that this feature
would result in the election of five
Republicans and point to the seven
member school board as an ex-
ample.
When the bill reaches Dover. no
matter what it's features are. It is
certain that many OF them viii be
changed by amendment and It is
not at all certain that the Republi-
cans themselves will not offer several
amendments.
At the conclusion OF the meeting
yesterday, a motion was passed un-
