til' tderinH 1at4git-tiiameadme4its
lo the chartrr of Mutton, as prepared
bv tiie commute aiHKXnttxl by the
chamber ol commerce, were sulnnitted
to the boani.
The opnunittee's bill providod for

vowd for at the regular town election
in May To'put In a system of wat?r
works, sewerag, electric light and
street imprvemenU. The bill pro
vidm lor a board of thre uiwiilwi's
tu be' known a a board of public
works, to be elected by tlie board of
aldermen for tvrmsof two, four and
4x years. The bowd of public works
is to hare suiervi'sioii and control of
all rwitlic rorks of the town, such as
putting in the syttteins of waterworks,
seweragey electric ltght and street
fmprovementw and to have control of
these systems after they are established.
' The board of aldennen heard the
amendments read, and no Changed the
bill as to place the construction of
the systems of waterworks and sewer
age, and other Improvements in the
hands of the board of aldermen, thus
doing away with the board of public
works, as proposed by the committee
from the Chamljei of Commerce.
We understand that the Chamber
of Commerce's committee will report
to that bony Monday nignt, and the
question of having a board of public
works to take' charge of the money
derived from the sale of the bonds
should they be Toted,t or to let the
board of aldermen control the public
works of the town win be .discussed.
The other changes Ift the charter!.'! are:
That the words "not exceeding' In
Value one hundred thousandj($100,000)
dollars, " being the words in section
4, lines 10 and 11, page 457, be stricken
out. -: " !
That the words "annually, M it being
the third word from the beginning of
section 5. be . stricken out, and the
word "biennially" be inserted in lieu
thereof. And the words "each year,
beintf thoflrt two words ia (line 2,
wction ft ' be stricken out. '
That the wordsy "not exceeding brie
hundred and twenty dollars," they
being the 18th to 24th words inclusive,
in section ol, article 2, be stricken out
and the words "shall be 31d0" : pe
Inserted in lieu thereof.. ... . .
, That the words, ;'who shall respec
tively hold their offices during the
oiiicial term of the ma vor and alder
men." being words 47 to oi inclusive
in section 2H, be striokea out and in
lieu thereof the words "at the pleasure
of the ooard or aldermen."
Anew registration-of the -Qualified
voters facia April lt to U5ih,uliK)3,
is provided for.
The board of aldermen and the
Chamber of Commerce- will - probably
agree upon a bill relative to a bond
issue and the management .ithe funds
raised thereby and thenthe bill will be
publishedin full.
