After discussing the matter pro and con, the charter revision committee last night decided to stand guns in the number of assessors and voted not to reconsider its action at by its a previous meeting when the number was placed at two. The committee went over its recommendations care- fully, but with the exception of ver- bal or technical changes let the amendments stand as they were. It was the last meeting of the body. Those present were Mayor Quig- ley, Judge B. F. Gaffney, Clerk E. H. Prior, ex-Mayor George M. Landers, Corporation Counsel J. Cooper, Thomas H. Kehoe, E. W. Christ and Severin Johnson. The City Court. Judge Cooper reported on the city court matter, presenting a tentative report, which, he said, was not satis- factory to himself or Judge Gaffney, al sub-committee. . :He believed a bet- tér 1Job Gould” be done’ on” it*because of- & fufitber of. inConsistericies.’, He wished it to be Teferred to Senatpr Geéarge' W, Klett for the purpose of perfecting it. Judge Cooper thought it would ‘¥ & ‘good ided t6 draw up a new draft on some points and al- low: the lawvers in this city {to shoot at it.” He was inclined to think that | Senator Klett and Judge J. T. Mes- kill were deeply intérested in the mat- ter and could offer very valuable points in regard to it. It was the opinion of Judge Cooper and Judge Gaffney that th¢ compen. sation of a judge of the city court should be commensurate with the hours he, would necessarily devote to the work. Many cases involving small amounts are fought out at great ‘length and ‘a judge of the city court would sometimes sit all of an after- noon on.a case that involves an amount. that seems ridiculously small. If a man of Judge Meskill's caliber, for instance, were selected for city court judge, the salary should be in keeping With his knowledge, acumen, temuerament and general judicial abil- ity. & The draft was referred to Senator Klett, Mr. Kehoe wanted to discuss the system of taxation by districts but ‘Mr. Prior rose to a point of order dnd said it was proposed sim- + ply ta g0 over the amehdments for verbal changes. Mr. Landers did not believe debate should be shut off. Mr. Humphrey agreed- with: Mr, Prior and saig &hat if .any c¢hanges are’ desired a motion to reconsider should be made. He made this as a ruling, | acting as chairman in the absence of | Mayor Quigley, who had stepped out. ‘The Board of Assessors. Regarding the number of assessors, two adopted: by the committee, Mr. | Landers believed it to be a radical | change from the present plan. He believed there is a great difference of opinion in the public mind and many think there should be more than two assessors. 'Mr. Landers said it | was he who had the law changed -0 that assessors are appointed by the mayor although he would not oppose their election by the voters if the com- mittee considered this a better plan. Mr. Humphrey said Senator Klett was in favor of three appointive as- sessors. Mr. Landers stated that he was not taking politics into consideration but he was'in favor of three assessors. - Judge Cooper remarked that it made little difference to him whethe | there was one or twenty assessors so long as they were appointed by the mayor and one devoted all his time to the office. Mayor Quigley, Mr. Christ and Mr. Prior were of a like opinion and on motion of Mr. Landers it was decided to reconsider the previous action. It was then suggested that there be three assessors, one to be permanent. The initial appointments would be for one, two and three years and thereafter for three year: Mr. Kehoe id that because a few dozen people—more or less—wanted | three assessors he did not believe the g committee should back down from its previous stand and he for one, was willing to stick to his guns. | “You'll find that the part-time men will not do the work, believing that Value Ever Ofered i ot Water Bottle r No. 40 Wearever—made o seams to leak, no bindings to come struction ing easy and adds strength where tles leak fi e, greatest to give protects hands from hot rst.

Judge Cooper moved that two drafts be presented to the council but three was objection to this plan. He then moved that the original draft stand and this was passed. It was voted to amend the charter so that a person in the employ of | the city receiving money through the compensation act could not receive I[i- nancial aid from any pension fund. !
