The City With Commission FOrm of Government Assumes Large Indebt edness for Local Improvements. The city of Houston. Texas, has the ' commission form of government, which ; was explained and exploited here by . Mayor Rice at. the recent municipal ' convention. One oi" the reasons why some of the Charlotte people favored , this form of government was because ' it was understood that it reduced to a minimum the need for bond issues. 5 In this connection an interesting ad-j vertisemeiiT appears in the issue of the United States Investor for Decem ber 12th. last, in which bids are asked for four separate issues of bonds. amounting altogether to $775. nOO. The News does not know how much the prest-nt bonded indebtedness of the city of Houston is. It inav or may not 1" large, but at any rate it does not j see in to obviate the necessity of bond issues. It is only fair to say, howev er, that these bonds are improvement bonds and not to meet the1 current reve nues of the city. The first issue is for $225,000, 4 1-2, ;:0-year bonds for darinage sewers. The second issue is for 223, Out', 4 1-2 30-year bonds for sanitary sewers. The third i.-.sue is for $1 0t. 000, 4 1-2. 20-year bonds for the extension of wa ter maius. The fourth issue is for $150,000. 4 1-2. 3't-year bonds, for the construction of wharves and slips on Buffalo Bayou.

A real row is on in Charlotte where a eharter revision is being attempted There are evidently some warm citi zens over Charlotte way, and the char ter is not accepted yet. This charter business is something else. The city barter comes pretty close to the home rule line aivl the people are very sens itive on this matter of local self- government and are very cautious about agreeing to an instrument that does not leave the reins of government in the hands of the people. Charlotte's fight, is none of ours, for which we are thankful, but we do not hesitate to say that it would be best to give and take and have done with internal wrajigling. The meeting of Ihe aldermen last night was evidently a very lively on" in which brotherly love (?) prevailed and several declara tions of independence were oratori-J c.ally recorded. The proision for tne election of a mayor by the board of aldermen was the cause of the fire, and if real progress was made in se curing a charter it would be hard to discover. Concord Tribune.
