Many Changes in Plan of Municipal |
Government Proposed.
The proposed new city charter,'
which has been drafted by a commit- j
tee composed of Mayor Brandt, City
Attorney Shaw and Aldermen King'
and McLean, will be considered at
a special meeting of the board of al- j
dermen tomorrow night. Following
are the more important changes sug- '
gested for the plan of government:
The corporate powers of the city '.
are to be exercised by a mayor, i
board of aldermen, consisting of six
members, a board of commissioners j
consisting of four members, and such ,
other officers as are usually provided ,
for in the administration of munici-pal
offices.

The fiscal year is to begin the first
day of May of each year, and during
said month said board of aldermen
is required to make an estimate of
the probable revenues of the city for
the current year, and out of such es- !
timate, including any general funds
left over from the preceding year,
said board shall first set apart a re-sen
e fund to be used in" case of'
emergencies, the ^remainder of said,
estimate and funds to be apportion- j
ed to the various departments of the I
city, and any debt contracted by any ,
department in excess of the amount '
so apportioned to it shall not be bind-'
ing upon the city unless ratified by
the board of aldermen.
No franchise can be granted by
the board of aldermen for any purpose j
for a longer period than fifty years, |
and none can be granted by the board
of aldermen for more than twenty
years, unless the question of grant-ing
the same has been submitted to
the voters of the city at an election
to be called for that purpose, and a
majority of the qualified voters In
said election vote in favor of grant-ing
said franchise.
The following departments of the
city are, by the proposed charter,
plcaed under the board of commis-sioners,
namely: Police, fire, streets,
public property, waterworks, sewer,
light, finance and revenue and the
board of aldermen are authorized to

five hundred dollars and any contract
made in violation of this provision

Said board of commissioners is al-so
given the power to control, grade,
macadamize, cleanse, pave and im-prove
the streets and sidewalks of
the city, and to provide local improve-ments
and to make assessments
therefor.
Said board of commissioners are
also authorized to elect a city clerk,
chief of police and the police force,
superintendent of streets and such
other officers as may be necessary,
and shall fix their compensation.
Each commissioner is to have under
his special control and management
the department of the city placed un-der
him by the charter or assigned
to him by the board of aldermen,
and may suspend or remove all sub-ordinate
officers or employes in his
department with right of appeal from
his ruling, to the board of commis-sioners.
All officers of the city are to be
