Mr. neetcd to appear before the committee and urge favorable actlcn on the bills. Change Are Certain There Is a general feeling In both the House and Senate that amendments will be made to the charter bills which will niter them considerably. Much opposi tion has developed toward csrtain sec tions of the bill. Some of the leaders of the Penrose faction In Philadelphia are opposing some of the provisions of the bill be cause It puts too much additional power In the hands of the Mayor. The original purpose, of the charter revision ists, they contend, was to shear the Mayor of some of the present power of Ills office. It Is 'generally pre dieted that the pro vision of the bill which would make the city solicitor appointive by tho Mayor and that putting the tax receiv er's department undr the city treasurer would bo eliminated Senator Dalt admits that the measure "must be maele more practical.", If It Is to get nnywhere. Senator Dal, how- ever, let It be known that he Is going to be on the Jon nigni ana nay wnen the hill gets started. The Vnre forces plan to knock out the smaller Council measure drafted by the charter revisionists and put In a clause which will provide for a larger body than tho proposed twenty-one mem bers' chamber. They also w III oppose ' .the plan to take city contract work from the private contractors. Senator Vare, in his Interview, asked i the newspapre correspondents to read the bill to him. section by section. He made his comments a sthe reading con tinued. All Sections lllscussed He discussed all sections of the hill, with the exception of those dealing with the reconstruction of the Civil Service Commission, dual omceholdfng, removing city employes not Included In the pollco and (Ire bureaus from poll tics, and the removal of the distinc tion between the city and county gov ernments.
