THE CITY CHARTER
Mack has been said in opposition to the proposed city charter.
Most of the candidates for city office have issued statements in
oppoEt»r to it. and nobody bat the city attorney has come to its
defense indudmg. surprisingly enough, even those who wrote it.
Pghaps it is doe merely to the fact that there is little that is
good that eas be said for it
1. Under its provisoes there is no guarantee that important
alters wiD be pabiohed in printed form in a newspaper so that
the pubbe wiB be kept adequately informed as to important
nr4imw<»»s notices, or documents. The definition of “publish
order the terms of the proposed charter, would permit the mere
posting in Sve “conspicuous places rather than require printing
sc a newspaper of wide local circulation as is now done.
2. Under the t erms of the charter there is no assurance or
requirement there be competitive bidding on contracts for
pnbhe and local improvements of leas than $10,000
1 The right of the dtj to dispose of real or personal property
without a vote of the people is increased to a limitation of -30 000.
4 There is no provision for a primary as well as a general
eiectoc
5. There is no provision which woold allow the people to
decade by election whether they wished an appointed city manager -
council or an elected mayor-council form of government. The
preponderance of votes favoring the elected chairman in the
borough election suggests the people no longer want a manager
form of government The people should be afforded an opportun
ity to vote on this—as soon as possible
We trust thae those e:ected to the next city charter conxmis
smb wiB wake provisions permitting the people to vote on such
alternate provisions within the overall ramewrt of any sew
charter proposed. Latitude SOT limitation is what the people
Aould have.
