LAWYERS AGREE TO
 REVISE ORDINANCES
.,,or,eys of City to Donate Their Services as Civic
 Duty
p., Suggested By ex-m.yor Mae
 donald To Be Followed

Attorneys having agreed to tender .sa;- seryices as a civic duty to their ...y there is every appearance once
 -. that there will be a revision of ss'.;tg charter and ordinances accord slo to tbe plan developed by Postmas- @ srrhibald Macdonald when he was s.syor and which he inaugurated soon as,sr assuming the chief executives Tbis new development in the situa- .s.r involving the eity's obsolete or s.,arres and certain sections of the atsrter. s.', came about Monday when q s,a.cial committee of the common coun- slI made up of Alderman-at-Large p,ebard. Aldermen Rogers. Ames and T,,,bois and headed by Mayor Chapde- is;ne pnid a visit to the several law COTS of the city to enlist their services = inc task of getting the revision ,sork done and that at an early date. This they succeeded in doing. and if ,bs attorneys go through with 1t this .i,ne the city should have an up-to- date charter and set of ordinances be- fore great many more months have rolled by.
 Started Work Two Years Ago
 The plan in 1922 was to assign eer- tain ordinances to certain attorneys who would confer with city officials in redrafting the ordinances under con- alteration. These assignments were made and conference committees nam ad and the revision work went ahead. Rut it had not gone far when it abruptly stopped. No one, apparent ly. knew the exact reason why.
 Since then there has been much agitation to get the revision work done. because it is so greatly needed.
 As the plan suggested by Former Mayor Macdonald had not worked out in practice and had the appearance that it could not be done," the Cham her of Commerce advocated that the revision work be done by some lawyer having freauent conferences with the proper city officials. It was suggested that not more than Si 900 be appro- nriated to get the work done. It seemed to the Chamber that this was fine onlv way that the revision would he attended to speedily and effective k.
 Attorneys Agree to Proportion
 But city officials, who are giving their time without expense to the city. believed that the attorneys of Putnam would also like to perform civic duty for their city, by contributing their time and talents, free of charge, in do ing the revision work planned. With this in mind, the common council com mittee. with the mayor, on Monday ap- healed ta the attorneys to take up the work where they had left 1t off. And they agreed to do this.
 Some of the ordinances have already been redrafted, and there was evidence teday that all of them would receive proper attention and would be ready for adoption in the not far distant fu-
 ture.
