gave the councilmen the power to
take action on matters pertaining to
any or all of the five wards, but re-
stricted the voters to only having a
voice in the election of one of them
that one being the candidate nomi-
mated from their own ward.
Mr.. Berkson advocated that this
section of the charter should be
changed SO that, while candidates
would continue to be nominated
from each ward, they would be elect
ed by city wide vote.
In other words, he said voters at
city elections, under the charter as
it now stands, can only vote for
mayor and one councilman, whereas
they should have the right to vote
for Mayor and all five of the coun-
cilmen.
Under the provisions of the chart
er, the speaker stated, this change
could be brought about through
referendum of the voters of the city
at either special or general cleo
ton. Such referendum would be
made mandatory if a petition was
presented to the Mayor and Coun-
Gil, signed by ten per cent of those
who voted for the candidate of the
office of mayor at the last city cleo
ton, which was held in 1949. 1t
could also be brought about, he said,
by city ordinance, with such or
dinance also being voted on by
means of a referendum.
In closing, Mr.. Berkson brought
out another inequality in the chart
er, which permitted members of the
police force to retire on so per cent
of their salary, but restricted the
full-time firemen to a pension of
only $4,000 a month, regardless of
their salary.

You Can Convert
Old BHdcage Into
Smart Decoration
By Douglas Tuomey

About two generations ago.
practically every house had one
or more canary-bird cages, and in
many cases a parrot sat on a
perch or shrieked at the family
from his cage.
With the change in style and
tastes, these bird-cages passed
from the scene and were stored
away in attic or cellar with the
other mementos of passed era.
Recently, there has been a re-
vival of the bird-cage as deco
rative piece in many smart homes,
but instead Of housing a bird. the
cages now hold plants and droop-
ing vines, and in most cases pre-
sent an attractive and highly deco
rative interest piece.
One of the finest examples of
this new trend was shown recent
ly, and the astonishing thing
about it was that it had cost the
owner but So.
The project started when he saw
perch in a secondhand store
and promptly bought it for a
dollar. A short search uncovered
a cage that was pretty well banged
up. which was purchased for so
cents. A few hours of work
Strengthened out the cage and
sanded of the perch, and two
coats Of white paint turned the
relics into sparkling item of
decoration.
While white-painted metal and
dark green foliage make a strik-
ing effect, the combination can be
reversed, or any other colors can
be used that might work better
with the general scheme of the
room or sunporch involved.
This is but one of the thou
sands Of small additions and i'm
provements which the average
homeowner can make himself with
ease and satisfaction.
