Judge John H. Light and H. A. iirond.
Outside of this mutter .thc discussion
at the meeting was general.
John McMahon. one of the members
of the committee. made a motion that
the committee should improve the city
charter enlarging the powers of the
mayor. Mr. Bond amended this so
that it read that the purpose of the
charter revision committee would he
to simplify the charter to fundamen-
tals: to increase the powers of the

to adopt such features of the commis-
