COIIIIII IS CHARTER BILL NOT PASSED BY SENATE AS YET MEASURE WAS SIMPLY READ AND PLACED ON CALEN-) DAR; AWAITS APPROVAL OF WARD The Tallahassee correspondent of The Associated Pi which represents The Citizen, was in er- ror when he informed this paper of the passage of Senate Bil! 1599, creating a new city charter. As a matter of fact, the legislation was not completed but was read in the Senate for the first time and placed on the local bill calen- dar, which gives Senator Ward the opportunity for amendment. This is expected he will do in the form of a referendum to give the electorate the privilege to accept or reject the charter at the next city election in November. The corrected Associated Press dispatch to The Citizen follows: “Tallahassee, Fla..
