"Make your charter as brief and broad as possible, said Professor C. II. Wing, a member of the Pslo Altc city council, In tbe course of an address given last night by request ol the freeholders who are engaged In ronxtructlng a new rhsrter for th< city of San Joae. "Do this ant leave th«> details of your govern nieut h- the council You will tint It a better plan thnn to burden thi charter of the city with a large num tier of dctnllti and thus perhnjv hamper yourselves in carrying 01 the government. This in the plan ndopted by the freeholders of Palo Alto and we have found that hat-. thus far. worked out very satisfactorily." The charter of Palo Alto Is built nlnng modern tines and waa drawn Up »ltb ureal care. It retains the features, according to Professor Wing, of lhe charters of other cities which had ntood the test of time und made what additions to these the framers thought wore necessary to bring |t up to date. It possessei. snme rather novel features.

IK' explained that tha council "fell Its lack of ability to handle quaal- publlc corporations, and was willing to leave thin In the liuiids of the state board, "for." suld he, "we havo a commission in California which does notblng else than this class <il business, nnd I consider It mticb mon- competent 'o handlo the situation than a council. We have not the means or learning the facts, and the stale commission has." Concerning the practical workings of ihe light and power and weteT systems of the city, the speaker snld that the people of I'nlo Alto had found these necessities very cheap under city control.
