 BEFORE COUNCIL
Discussion on Important Points
 at Wednesday Session
HEARINGS ON BUS LINES
Bristol Mfg. Co. Rcccivership Ter minatcd-Twelrth District School Row In Limellght Again-Cham- Der of Commerce Election.

II Is understood that a number of
 proposed changes in the city char
 ter will be pr 'nted at the special meeting of the city council at 7:3O
 o'clock tomorrow evening in the council chamber.
 ! According to a prominent citizen, | Q drastic innovation will be offered ] 10 the effect that all future perma- nent paving in Bristol be paid by the
 general city. At the present time the abutting property owners pay | tWo-thirds of this expense, one-third
 for each side O. the street, and the remaining one-third is assumed by the city. This proposed change
 however, is apt to meet with consid- erable opposition due to the fact that the taxpayer in an outlying district will feel that he is entitled to per- manent paving just as much as the property owner located nearer the center and the paving program would be subjected to considerable criticism each year.
 The matter of abolishing the sprinkling tax, it is believed, will all so be brought up. The reason for this is that most of the streets Of the city are being oiled at present. although q few or the more centrally located ones are served by the old sprinlIing wagon each day. Many believe that the oiIing of streets tends to keep the dust down a great deal better than by sprinkling water on them twice q day and for this reason would perfer the oil.
 A suggestion has also been made that the city be divided into six wards and that one councilman be elected from each ward by the pri- mary system, instead of having six councilmon at large. Another solu- ton of this situation has been to have one councilman from each of the present four districts and have the other two councilmen elected at large by the voters. The latter ar rangemcnt seems the more feasible to many citizens as it would not ne- cessitate rCdistricting the city and each ward would be represented.
 It is understood that the appoint ment of a finance board will also he brought up once again by the Bristol Real Estate board. who orig inally suggested such a course 10 the council some time ago. Their letter of recommendation at that time, however, was simply read and placed on file where it has remained un- disturbed ever since.
 Any proposed changes will be giv- en due consideration by the council and as a matter of course referred to the general assembly with the local body's recommendations.
 To Inspect Reservoirs
 Mayor John r. Wade. members of the city council and the board of water commissioners will make a joint inspection of the city reservoirs | tomorrow afternoon. This inspection is made once each year to famil- iarize councilmen with the work of the water department members.
 "Captain AppIcjack" This Evening
 Captain ApplejaCk" will be pre- sented this evening in the Commun- ity theater by the Bristol Commun- ity players and will mark the tenth of the local organization. There has been an extremely large advance sale of tickets and the pros- poets are that every seat will be sold before the first curtain is raised.
 Voting Machine Instruction
 Voting machines have been set up in the four voting districts of the city for instruction purposes and will De available to the voters tomorrow. and Friday between the | hours of to each afternoon and | from to in the evening.
