Points in Appeal Against

POLICE BILL IS RAPPED!
1'iw state senators
! members of the House
and thirty-one
from Philadel-
pliia, who are aligned politically with
I the Vines, have forwarded a signed
protest to (lovernor Sproiil against the.
I 1U!s"bo ol the Woodward charter lulls,
j Mix main points me cited against the
charter revision bills to show why they
should not be enacted into law. These
points are :
That the
the mayor
proposcd charter will give
dangerous and excessive
power.
That it would swamp the city wijh
litigation and that a legislative commis
sion ought to study the piestion so as
to adapt a Philadelphia charter to the
low State Constktitioii.
Council "I'ndoinocralic"
That the smaller council proposed by
the Woodward bill is unrepresentative
tnd undemocratic.
That the Woodward bill would in no
tvay take (he police out of politics.
That the nnnual cost of street clean

The preamble of the protest follows;
"We, the undersigned, being three
fourths of the members elcclejl to the
Senate and House of Representatives
from Philadelphia. hereby protest
against the pifssage of the so-culled
Philadelphia charter revision bills, for
the reason tbut our close association

"The authors ot the present Senate
