Citizens Unit Warned
Home Rule Bill Will
Breed Ward HeeIers'

A charge that the McCarran
'home rule" bill would breed ward
heelers" and other unsavory political
elements was made last night at a
meeting Of the Dupont Citizens As
sociation held at the Mayfower
Hotel.
L. M. Leisenring, local architect
and member of the association,
made the statement in listing his
objections to the proposed bill.
Besides creating undesirable po-
litical characters, Mr.. Leisenring
said, the bill would provide for only
limited suffrage and would not pro-
vide for District representation in
Congress.
Under the terms of the bill, seven
Commissioners would be elected
from seven city wards. The COM
missioners would appoint a city
manager for a six-year term at
$4,000 year, subject to conflrma-
tion by the Senate.
Illness prevented Senator McCar-
ran from attending the meeting to
explain the provisions of his bill.
He sent word that he would try to
appear at future meeting.
In the absence of Senator Nc
Carran, President William Clark
Taylor explained several provisions
of the bill. Mr.. Taylor said sup
porters and opponents of the bill
would be invited to speak at a future
meeting.
The association passed a resolu-
ton calling for future licensing of
Christmas tree dealers. In addition,
the association went on record as
favoring a s25 deposit to be re-
quired from the dealers to insure
the removal of unsold trees.
