Citizens Discuss Charter
Under the auspices of committee
named by the Chamber of Commerce
a citizens meeting was held Friday
night in the First National Bank
building. One or two other social
functions were in progress at the
same time and it is thought that due
to this cause number of interested
persons attending was reduced to
approximately twenty-five. In view
of the fact that meetings of various
kinds have been held in the past
with no better attendance, it is
thought that very representative
body attended the meeting. The
present charter which dates from
1907 was thoroughly discussed to-
gether with the amendments That
have been added during the inter-
vening years. There are about sew
en- amendments scattered through as
many different codes. After the
present charter was looked over the
recommendations of the committee
were discussed. The chairman, al
ter allowing plenty of time for de-
liberation and discussion of each
proposal, the recommendations were
adopted. Those present gave the
proposition much thought and de-
liberation, the meeting being in ses-
sion until after IL p. m. Among
some of the proposals adopted to be
incorporated in the charter is the
change from Alderman to Mayor in
vesting him with the powers that go
with the office. Changing the name
of districts to wards; making Town
