Some of the provisions of said char-

some of the people as to whether the
right to vote to reestablish the dis-
lricia in the city had been taken away
by the charter. and therefore the leg-
tllaiure was petitioned to' authorise
the taking of a vote to reestablish the
district within the city. and the follow-
in! statutewas enacted:
ported as to whether or not it would be i
a good thing to go back to the district l
system. Judge Light said that the;
placing of a woman on the committee
was suggested. but not ordered. and
that as he had understood it the com-
mittee was to report'on the statutory,
proceedings towards going back andi
not to go against the vote of the people
