MOVEMENT FOR A NEW CHARTER FOR OAKLAND Petition Asking Council to Call Special Election of Freeholders, | SELOEC DL Present City Charter Has Been Torn | Full of Holes by the Ope- ration of General Laws. Pl Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 21. A movement has been started in Oak- land toward securing a new charter to supplant the present patchwork affair un- der which the city has been working for ten years. A petition has been prepared and is being circulated and very largely signed asking the City Council to call a freeholders’ election for the purpose of framing an entirely new plan of city gov- ernment. The present city charter was framed in 1889, before the adoption of the constitu- tional amendment making city charters | supreme over general laws. As a conse- quence the charter has been torn full of holes by general statutes. This, with some amendments made & few vears ago, has rendered the present instrument most un- satifactory. The new movement bears evidence of success. The text of the petition is as follows: To the Honorable City Council of the City Gentlemen—The undersigned and taxpayers of the city of Oak- ereby respectfully request your hon- orable body to call an el provided by section § le XI o itution, freeholders to y of Oakland. rter was a great ier one, far better * v‘*% R e e e R e B e o o e 2 n the main, an instrument draft- ‘wisdom and good judgment, still an rience of eleven years under this chars | ter has disclosed many particulars in which | further improvements might be made, In- cluding several changes which seem to be =t advisa nd urgent. The particulars in which changes should be made are so nu- merous and varied in character that we be- lieve it unwise to attempt them in the way { iurther patchwork by amendment. This er expedient would be unsatisfactory at the best, to say nothing of the possibility of a_chaos in the instrument by the passage of some amendments and rejection of others. With the light of these past years under the existing charter and many judicial {in- terpretations bearing upon it, we belleve | that & carefully chosen board of freeholders | —men of high abi mature, busine Judsment and experi ‘municipal affal —would draft and submit such a clear, con- | sistent and able charter as would place the | Eovernment of the city upon a sound, wise | and progressive basts, would prove of ines- timab ue to the city and open up f era of prosperity. 2 P 'WHIST GLUBS | R R SR S AKLAND, July 2L.—Word was re- cetved to-day by cablegram from Paris of the death of Rev.
