Montgomery Charter
Proposal Praised
|By Charles P. Taft
Cincinnati Two-Porty
System Wos Strengthened, !,
Ex-CounciImun Says

Charles p. Taft, former member
OF the Cincinnati City Council, in
a statement to the Montgomery
County Charter Committee, today
asserted the argument against the
council-manager government in
Cincinnati that it would destroy the
two-party system had been proved
untrue.
Mr.. Taft, author of "City Man.
agement-The Cincinnati Expert
ment." book on local government,
wrote the committee that the ma
jority party in that city, because
of the. opposition of the fusion group
made up of the independents and
the minority party" became
stronger, and the minority party,
very weak when the charter went
into effect, became greatly strength
ened also.
Meanwhile, statement by H.
King Mularkey, chairman of the
Citizens Committee to Defeat Char
ter, attacked what he called two
flagrant failures of the terms of the
pending charter to abide by the di-
rect requirements of the Maryland
State Constitution
| Shortcomings Cited.
These shortcomings, he said. were
failure to keep the executive and
judicial powers of government sep
arte and misleading" provision
for voters Of the county to repeal the
charter by referendum amendment.
Mr.. Mularkey charged the charter
gives unpaid members of the coun-
ty council 80 days of legislative juris-
diction and power, and II months Of
administrative an dexecutive juris-
diction during each of the four years
OF their respective terms
The deception" in the referen-
dunn vote provision he said, "is that
there is no procedure authorized by
the Maryland constitution and the
Statel aw to repeal a charter once
it has been adopted by voters of the
county.

Taft Praises Charter.
In his letter to the Charter Com
mittee, M. Taft said, "a number of
excellent county charters have been
passed and put into effect within
recent years, among them the
charter for San Mateo County. the
southern half of San Francisco, and
Henrico County, surrounding Rich
mond, Va. Your charter comes as
close. to these excellent models as
the Maryland situation permits, and
it certainly deserves the hearty ap-
proval of the voters at the election
in November.
