Updating Constitution Qiarter Change Panel to Hear Ideas Oct, 25 By IRA ROYALS Staff Writer A city charter is a constitution. In this democratic soci6ty, state and federal constitutions and city charters assume that the rights of government come from the people.

charter is a document by which the people have granted certain rights to their said City Attorney Earl Bracken. Pulling an extremely worn copy of the charter out of his inside coat pocket, Bracken said, a vehicle for the will of the people, stating how their government will present charter when written in 1958, was a model for the state. Today its language is an example of precise, First of a Series Want More for Your Savings? SK THE CITIZENS WATIONAI. of WACO straightforward prose. The major problem is its age.

In the past 19 years, events and changes in state law have made parts of the charter obsolete. For example, one section says, city shall be divided into six But a federal court ruling Dudley Do-It-Yoarself Insulation 75(M)5U (Adv.) last year divided Waco into five One of the jobs of a 24-member committee appointed by the Waco City this summer is to go through the charter and find all discrepancies between the charter, the federal court ruling and state laws. A second portion of the job involves suggesting amendments in the charter to the council. The committee has set a meeting for Oct. 25 to hear ideas from Wacoans on amendments.

Home rule cities in Texas, like Waco, operate from charters drafted by the people living in those cities. Woodway and Bellmead are the only other home rule cities in McLennan County. The remaining towns in the county are known as general law cities. This simply means they operate under the specific legal direction of the state and under applicable general laws of Texas. Home rule cities may chose their own form of government, but general law cities must select from plans provided by the Legislature.

Charters cannot contradict the constitution or state law. Home rule cities have a degree (rf latitude in many areas not permitted in cities operating under general laws. Several methods are provided for writing, rewriting or amending charters. The present charter was written by a commission elected in December of 1970 by Wacoans. The charter the commission drafted was accepted by a vote of 1,705 to 1,546 in a special election Nov.

1,1958. The voting was on the entire charter, not individual sections. Save Sell Newipapen-ll-lOO lbs. (Adv.) The present charter advisory committee, headed by Abner McCall, will examine the charter section by section and may recommend a number of amendments. City Cknincil has the option of killing or passing on to Waco voters all, some or none of the recommended amendments.

Before any amendments become part of the charter, they must be approved by Wacoans. The present charter contains 11 articles. Future stories will deal with each of those what they say and what has been outdated by events and changes in state taw. L03 Carat Round Diamood, I687.S0 O.G. WUson, 1310 Air.
