THE BEE: OMAHA. Kill DAY, NOVEMBER 12. 1920. City Council to Ask Revision of Omaha Charter Two Members of Body Will Be Named by Mayor to As sist Him in Preparing Proposed Changes. ' Mayor Smith will appoint two numbers of the city council to co operate villi him in the preparation s of city cha'rter amendments, which will be submitted to the legislature miviiig the winter. The plan, which Vas agreed to at a conference held yesterday iter ncon in the city council chamber, contemplates rewriting the entire city charter, eliminating "dead tim ber," adding: esM'iitial features but making no radical changes. I'ndcr a provision of the state constitutional amendments which were adopted la-t September, Omaha may obtain a home rule charter by voting to adopt any existing char ter, which could be amended at any subsequent election. In making a -tart toward the home rule charter, the mayor and city commissioners believe it would be fetter to have i ho legislature (irst enact into law i lie proposed revised -charter and ibcn submit that charter to the peo nle of Omaha as the basis for "home rule." , Want Limitations Removed. Commi.-sioners ,K. N. Towl aud W. (i. Ure are particularly interested in obtaining charter revisions dur ing the winter through legislative action, that the city may begin next season with certain charter limita tions removed. Among the propositions tenta tively outlined yesterday afternoon, lor the charter revisions, was one offered by Com miss ion cr Towl and relating to a working capital, or re volving fund, for public improve ments, This would enable the city to pay contractors for work done ' without the necessity of issuing dis trict improvement warrants bearing 7 per cent interest. Mr. Tbwl will ask that the charter be revised to remove the limitations on paving in tersection bonds and sewer bonds is sued in one year. - ( Change in Finances. Commissioner Ure, as superin tendent of the department of ac counts and finance, will request that the interest rate on municipal bonds shall be made more clastic, to meet " bond market conditions". Another 'proposed revision pro ' vides that owners of abutting, prop- erty shall pay the cost of paving - boulevards, instead of paying for this class o improvements from the general fund. ' Mfi.' F.
