Lerou at the membership meeting of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce in Odd Fellows' hali*Friday evening. The mayor has no great power, he continued. The “power” simply gives him the opportunity to g0 out and select the proper men for the proper places. The new charter, the text of which has already been published in both local pa~ pers, was the subject of discussion at the membership meeting. The provisions of the charter were outlined in detail, more or less, by Martin k. Jensen, chairman 'of the sub—committee of the charter commis- sion, which had In charge the actual preparation of the instrument and dur- ing the general discussion which followed Mr. Jensen's taik a number of provisions were clarified. 1t is safe to say that all present at the meeting were very favor- ably impressed with the new charter.

At the close of the menu Charles F. Wells, president of the chamber, cailed the gathering to order, and -after ad- dressing the meeting briefly turned the chair over to Mayor Lerou, who presided during the remainder of the meeting. Mr. Jensen Explains Charter. Martin E. Jensen, chairman of the sub- committee whicl: had charge of the'actual drafting of the new charter, gave a most comprehensive talk on the charter and its provisions. - Mr. Jensen explained the provisions and the more radical changes incorporated in the new charter, in more or less detail, and answered a number of questions from the audience in regard to the salaries of the paid officers. the ap- pointment of the various committees, their duties, and the workings of the ward system. Mr. Jensen called attention to the fact that under the new charter ai the ances of en care of the by officio member of this commit- 3 will prevare the city budget and after its preparation it will be laid before the board of aldermen for ap- of course, will do away em of voting appro- ty “meeting. City’s Governing Body. Jensen explained that the city's 15 body 11 members, elected by wards of the city. The mayor will not sit with the board of aldermen, which wiil be a purely legislative body. The mayor will have the power of veto. The new charter will abolish the two bodies governing the fire and police de- partments, known as the board of police commissioners and board of fire commis- and will substitute instead ome governing body to be known as the de- partment of public safety. The members of the department of public safety will be appointed by the mayor and will be citizens of the city who hold no other ublic office. This department will have entire charge of the affairs of the fire and police departments. City Comptroller’s Dauties.

For the benefit of Wells coilege endow- ment fund, two bridge parties were given Thursday afternoon at the homes of Mrs. William H. Reeves, 10 Prospect street, and Miss Susan B.

This will prevent duplication in the payment of bills, expenditures in excess of appropriations, etc.. and will provide racticing of strict economy in the handling of the city’s muiey. Asked what the salary of the city comptroller will be, Mr. Jensen said that in drafting the new charter the commission had de- cided to leave this matter with the finance committe In fact the naming of salaries for paid officers of the city has baen left in the hands of the finance committee. Will Fix Sal The charter commission decided that the finance committee, Whoever they may be, will be fully competent to fix the salaries at suitable figures. Mr. Jensen in his talk said that the water board will in as it is, two members to be eiected by the citizens and the third to be one alderman, elected by the board of aldermen from their own number. The board of gas and electric commissioners cannot be touched by the new charter, as Mr. Jensen said they exist under special state statutes enacted by the general assembly. Ward System Another matter touched on was the ward system which will go into ef- fect with the adoption of the new charter. Under this system the city will be divided into wards. Each ward will elect its own alderman or alder- men, according to the number they are allotted on the basis of popula- tion. Ea alderman must he a eiti- zen resident of the ward which elects him to office. Each ward, will of course, vote on the election of the mayor, city treasurer, city clerk, wa- ter commissioners, etc., in .the same manner as in the election of city of- ficers in the various districts as at the present. Mr. Jensen called attention to the fact that any sale of city property, and any bond issue must come before 4 city meeting for action, this being the same system as under the pres- ent antiquated charter. In answer to a question from the audience Mr. Jensen said that no more than a ma- jority of any appointive committee or commission will be of one party. Believes People Will Vote For It William J. Fitzgerald, at the close of Mr. Jensen's talk said he believes that if the people thoroughly under- stand the charter they will vote for it. He suggested that the charter com- mission appear before the various or- ganizations in the city and explain the workings of the new charter so that the people will be come acquaint- ' BUSINESS NEN RECENE FAVORIBIE PRESSONOF PROPOSED CHARTER make a successful administration.

Yes. ‘We went over the provisions of other charters and picked out whatever we thought was for. the best interests of Norwich. After explaining the charter com- mission’s decision to leave the matter of the naming of salaries for the city officers, Mayor Lerou said: I would say that $1,000 a year for a man to manage the city of Norwich; which handles a million and a quarter & year is ridiculous Mayor Lerou said that when he took the mayor’ did s¢ with but one chair two years ago he object, to give Norwich a business administration and that when he took u; a new charter he did ject of giving Norwich the ‘best. p the matter of so with tne ob- A 7 o'dock the following menu was served: .

The destination of the train was unlearned; neither was it determined whether the unsophisticated travelers caught it or mot, owing to_the hilarity in the audience.
