Charter Ideas Nuggeited
Ir. Connellj's statement of bbgges el

"Tho thought Is suggested that it
' 'Rould be desirable at this time to frame
a charter In ,idance of any constitu
tional contention, with the Idea that the
framrrs of the Constitution would have

desires nnd rmbltlons of the eit of
Philadelphia It would not be restricted
In, such a way as to prevent its growth
nd ft proper spirit of home rule would
be accorded to It.
"In the matter of flnanco a clause
ought to he Inserted In the charter gli-
tag the city, as the basis of homo rule,
ull broad general powers necessary for
'the development of tho city not In con
travention of the Constitution or legis

"Under this broad ceneral heading of
SjV Administrative would be considered the
present framework of the city govern-
y ment In Its executive as well as admin
istrative, functions: the elimination or
police, firemen and all municipal ofllco
holders from politics, including elected
as well as rnnolnted : the making of the
ofllco of llayor an executive rather than
a purely political office; to have at th.
time a public Improvement Is contem
plated the entire scheme of organization
"with the limit of the funds to be spent
In the work set forth In detail, so bidders
could bid on the entire work at the first
Inception, subject, however, to money
coming In from time to time to meet the
requirements of the work. This of
course, would contemplete setting forth
in detail by an ordinance of Councils
such a plan which ought to be mandatory
on the city officials
