The Charter Question.
Editor Coubieb: I was informed that
the new oharter, it adopted, would deprive the city of Glare ot one ot our supervisors, but I looked up the law and
found that my information was incorrect.
Then I began to look up the law on several other points that I had heard talked
about and found that those who were
raising their objections are wrong. My
idea, after doing the best I can to compare the two, is that the new charter is
the best for us. It is almost identical
with the old oue in most respects and I
can find nothing in it. that justifies Ire
claim bein,? made by some that unlimited
power is granted by it to the common
council to incur expense. As a matter of
fact the council is limited in this regard'
just as it is under the pfcesenfc charter,
and the limit is no higher ill one than in
tlio oth«r. Councils have in the past
been compelled to go as far as this limit
but they could not go beyond it; neither
could they do so under the provisions of
the new law. People, who are urging
that the expenses ot the city in the way
of salaries, etc, would be increased, overlook the fact that the city has reached
the limit of expenditures and could not
increase them, except with the growth of
the city and theiucrcase of taxable property. I brlisve tbat tho "proposed plan
to have a city board of equalization is a
good thing and that every person who
pays luxts will think with me, if ho gives
the matter any thought. It can't work
worse than tho present method for that
is as bad as can be. The taxpayers of
the second and third wards nre the hardest-hit, of course, but the taxpayers of
the first ward aie hit hard enough, it
seems to me, to make them welcome any
change that promises improvement.
The board of equalization made no
change in the roll of the first .ward, but
ti e cotnm ttee recommended and the
board adopted au equalization that reduced every township but one, thus relatively raising the first ward v-ryhigh,
ISfow the very person whose name is signed first to that recommendation is the
most conspicuous in his efforts to defeat
tho urw charter whioh perhaps, may take
away some of his power. "Why should ho
work so hard to keep the law as it is?

Adjourned Again,
The Courier-Herald, Saginaw, of-yesterday contained the fallowing regarding the
trial of Wm. Crawford, of Dover, on a
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretences: "The trial of Wm. Crawford on
the charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses, was begun before Judge
Stempell yesterday afternoon. Tho com
plaiuant charges that in October, 1893,
Crawford came to Saginaw from Clare
and purchased goods to the amount of
§200 from the Hoyt Dry Goods company
on credit. At that time he represented
that he owned a farm of 120 acres and a
saw mill free from incumbrance. It is
charged that- all his property was encumbered, so that when the local Jirm tried
to collect the bill Crawford sent their
representative to A. J. Doherty, a hardware dealer of Clare, who held a chattel
mortgage on his property. Prosecuting
Attorney John Qumn, of Clare county,
appeared for Crawford, and J. H, Davitt
for the complainant. Doherty was on
the stand yesterday, bat as there was a
dispute about the chattel mortgage the
case was adjourned till Dec, 10, to produce thafc document.
