In accordance with section oS of the city charter, the city council at special meeting on Tuesday, De- cember IS. will consider any pro- posals advocating change in the city charter. The charter provides that such a meeting be held during the month of October in the year pre- ceding any regular session of the Connecticut legislature. but through oversight on the part of the city clerk and other city officials, the meeting was not held at that time. While it is not anticipated that any changes will be proposed, in the event there should be, very little time would be availa ble for the drafting of a bill to cover such re- visions, and the necessary advertis- ing of such changes. Section 53. the article in question. reads as follows:

 During the month of November of said year, the council shall ad- vertiSe in one or more newspapers published tn Bristol any changes to the city charter, which said council may have agreed upon. and at the same time notice of meeting to be held the same month at which any , elector may appear and comment upon such amendments as are de- sired by the council.
 If any further changes are de cided upon, they shall be advertised in t.s salN3 manner and no measure amending the city charter of Bristol shall be j1.rQtncod into the legisla-
 ture by any oaicial of the city Of
 Bristol until said bill or sub s;itute for same shall have been ad- Ncrtised in one or more newspapers
 pubNshri in the city Of Bristol. and the electors shall have hern given an
 opportunity to be heard by the city council on the same.
