From the statement of Charlee T. Hopkins and the expressions of other leaders of the commission movement a blending of the present political charter and the commission charter le a mental and physical Im possibility. "But one concession Is possible.” says Mr. Hopkins, "and that Is to add to the proposed commleslon charter a provis ion for a small legislative body, tn leg islate alone. This haa been adopted in •ome commlaalon govemtd cities. Fur ther additions of features of the old charter would destroy the whole prin ciple of commission government.” With the legislative body the plan le similar to the one suggested by May or Winn some weeks ago. And the ln r dlcatlons are still that the opponents of the commlailon charter will not con sent to a charter on these lines. Mr. Hopkins’ Card. Charles T. Hopkins, of the commli- slon charter committee. Issued the fol lowing statement Monday: "Please permit me a brief reply to the different communications in yester day's papers. “As to Mr. Clark Howell: The In terview which occurred In his office Friday morning was very short. When hs suggested that a compromise could be effected by adding a small legisla tive body In the commission charter, I Immediately agreed to this, as It could be done without destroying the char acter of the charter. I told him, how ever, that the city officials would not consent to this, and that he could ob tain no authority from them to mnko such an agreement Hs replied that he would not consult them, but could, and would, carry the proposition thru the local representatives and have a hill enacted by them containing this com promise. "I thought he might possibly accom plish what hs so confidently asserted, and put It up to him to arrange n masting that day with ths local repre sentatives to perfect and complete tho agreement which he and I had entered Into. ’He did call a meeting, as has been stated, of the representatives at 4 o’clock that afternoon. Mr. Watkins, chairman of the legislative commis sion committee, and I attended, not for the purpose of making a compromise, hut of carrying thru and completing with the representatives an agreement al ready made. "When we met, Mr. Howell In, his statsment of what had been agreed upon demanded greater powers to be conferred upon the proposed legislative body than had been stipulated for by him In the morning. The conversation which ensued about this matter was completely obllerated by the evident Intention of two of the'.representatives present not to Indorse the agreement, and to neither vote for nor advocate the passage of a commission charter, with or without ths addition. "So far as Mr. Howell Is concerned, his proposition to control ths local representatives and carry thru the agreement made with him simply proved futile. He could not deliver ths goods. t "The real slgnlffeanee of the meeting lay In the fact that the prior agree ment had with the local representatives, as construed by the commission com mittee and the city at large, and upon which It had acted In furnishing the twenty per cent, was In danger of be ing plainly violated. "The attitude of Mr. Howell and The Constitution In seeking to place upon the commission committee ths burden of making a compromise, when they had promptly agreed, at the first sug gestion, to the only compromise which was possible, appears to ms to be un fair. ‘To the extent Indicated above, tho commission charter could be altered— compromise being an Improper word.
