The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-06

The important issue contvrntlng the people of Waterbury today is not should Waterbury adopt city manager proportional representa- tion ("P. R." for short) charter?"-- but instead, Should the people of Waterbury, in accord with the prin- ciples of home rule, be given the right to vote on a city manager P. R. charter?" No attempt is being made by the Citizens Good Govern ment Association to force charter on the City; but the Association does say emphatically that the peo- pie should be given the right to vote on 1t. And that is the purpose of the bill introduced by MT. Guasta- ferri, sponsored by the c. G. G. A., in regard to the city manager plan. (Of course this does not refer to MT. Guastaferri's ripper bill," which is entirely his own, and with which the c. G. c. A. has nothing to do what soever).
 House Bill No. 401, the city man. ager-P. R. charter bill, specifically provides for a referendum on the third Tuesday after the governor approves the bill. If the people of Waterbury reject the proposed char ter at this election, it will not be- come effective at all. That certainly is fair enough for everyone. There fore, it is not expected that any great opposition will be offered to the bill in the general assembly, for no legislator would want to put him. self on record as opposing any move
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-06

to let the people of Waterbury de- eide such an important matter themselves. Nor is it to be expected that any important feature of the bill will be amended or rejected by the geenral assembly or the com mittee on Cities and Boroughs. be- cause the bill as now drafted is, in all essential features, the famous Cincinnati plan" charter, which is generally regarded as being the best form of municipal government in the United States today. No legisla- tor would want to put himself on record as opposing any part of a charter that is substantially the charter proposed by the Waterbury Charter Commission to meet the specific needs of Waterbury; and as brought up to date by including the moderkn feature of P. R., which has produced such beneficial results where ever tested in the United States.
 Every person interested n good government should advocate letting the people vote on this modern charter. Let your representatives at Hartford know that you want a chance to vote on this charter. Talk to your friends and neighbors about it. Go to meetings where the char ter is discussed. Call the Citizens Good Government Associate 4-8576, and ask them to provide your club or other organization with a charter speaker so that you may
