Work Immediately
Plan For New County
Government Will Be Voted
On In 1914

With approval Of the Charter

of Montgomery at last Tuesdays
election questions as to the future
program are naturally being
asked. While it is too early for
the elected members of the Char
ter Board to announce their

Under the State constitution, if
Montgomery County adopt home
rule charter it will become largely
an independent government unit
bound by Statewide laws or laws
passed by the Legislature which
effect two or more counties.
The county, under an elective
county council, could adopt the
legislation which is now drafted for
the county by the Legislature and
in addition could assume the local
regulatory powers which are now
exercised by the County Commits
sioners.
There are only three limitations
of particular Importance placed
upon the activities of the county
council under a charter. Laws
passed by the Legislature which
affected Montgomery county and
one or more other counties could
not be repealed, the county's
bonded Indebtedness could not ex-
coed seven per cent. of the as
sessable basis of the county, the
county council under a charter
would not be permitted to infringe
upon the express powers granted
by the Legislature 10 an incor-
porated community.
Aside from these restrictions the
charter board will have a free hand
in drafting a charter for Mont
gomery county.

prepare the charter are as fol-
lows:
TARLToN BROOKE, of Norbeck,
farmer and director of the Saw
