DAWSON TO LAMYEDA, Dec. 23.—Alameda is engaged in a fight for a new charter. The citizens of this commu- nity feel that the city has outgrown the present law under which it is working, and all of the resi- dents of Alameda who are interested in the advancement of the city are working for this reorganization. The gentlemen interested have so far succeeded that the Board of Trustees has called a Freeholders’ elec- tion for February of next year, at which time the voters will select men to frame a new charter for them.
