Dear Sir:

Some of your subscribers may not
have seen the attached statement of
opinions of the Merit System.
They are from not only men of
prominence and influence, but men
of character, good sense and expert
ence, not from inexperienced theo-
rists.
The Merit System is provided for
in the proposed so-called "City
Manager Charter" and has been, to
the regret of many of our people,
omitted from the charter that Sena-
tor Culhane is offering the city.
Yours very truly,
F. S. CHASE.
