According to Clark Griffith, Walter

Petition For Change

On February 8, 1918, the residents of Sank Gen.
ire adopted Charter rule and guide for the
conduct of the cty's government and this document
became effective March g. 1913 and since that time
has functioned with but few changes. Demands for
serious changes in some of the chapters of this doc
ument were few until in recent years, when groups
of citizens believed that certain changes should be
made for the welfare of the city,
1t was almost twenty years ago when the elect
crate OF the city, through the efforts of men with
foresight, decided that members of the Water Light
and Power Commission should be appointed by the
District Judge, matter of keeping that depart
ment out of politics much possible. The opera
ton of the chapter pertaining to the above question
was successful and the ctys municipal plant became
of the most successful in the state
A petition is in circulation which asks that
the chapter pertaining to the appointment of COM
missioners be repealed and that it be made to pro-
vide for the election of commissioners instead We
understand that the petition now has more than
enough signers which requires percent of the to-
tai vote cast for in the city the last gem
eral election.
Dissatisfaction has crept into the ranks of the
city electorate and the demand for change has been
made because some of the people feel they have had
no voice in the selection of commissioners and that
they feel a deliberate attempt has been made to
wreck the successful operation of their municipal
plant The selection of commissioners has been made
by petition which is presented to the judge. Very few
people have known when the terms of commission
expire and beyond the necessary signatures need
ed very few knew that new commissioner was in
the making. These some Of the facts responsible
for the demand for change.
The trainers of the City Charter had definite
purpose in mind when they accepted the charter as
it stands-that was to keep the department free
from political interference to insure its successful
operation. Their foresight must be acknowledged for
the plant has made money. It has been operated sue
cessfully-a fact can deny.
The Herald everyone knows does not oppose
democratic government-the selection of representa-
tives of the people by ballotbut do believe tina:
residents of the CITY, who have the welfare Of the
municipal plant at heart should thoroughly consider
this proposition of change, before making the COM
mission and municipal light and water department a
political football. Present reasons for grievance in
the function of the commission should be brought to
light and if found to be against the welfare of the
city, demands should be made for change mmed-
lately The electorate of the city, the owners of the
plant have the right to demand efficient operation
of their business and their demands should be heed
