A new era in the progress and prosper-
ity of the city of Brownsville depends
upon the outcome of the election to tit
held in this city tomorrow upon the ques-
tion. Shall a Commission be Chosen to
Frame a New Charter’* Numerous citi-
zens have long ago expressed their desire
for a commission form of government for
the city of Brownsville believing that the
placing of the city's affairs in the hands
of competent salaried men would he a
great step toward economy and progress.
The question has not been one of poli-
tical issue as both the local political or-
ganizations in 1912 adopted platforms
promising to give the citizens opportunity
to adopt the commission form of govern-
ment. The present city government
which went into office under a compromise
agreement made the adoption of the com-
mission government the principal issue
agreeing to submit the question to the peo-
ple at the earliest opportunity.
Then* «ih more delay than expected m
accomplishing tlii-i purpo-e owing tn the
fact that the eity wa» in serious financial
eirvutitstanees when the present govern-
ment went in bat with the Mile of the
■city’s outstanding unbonded indebtedness
this detail ha- about been cleared up and
the way is now often and the question is
lift to the fteople to Is* decided tomorrow.
Though the fteople of Brownsville to*
tnorrow are not voting ii|*on whether or
iHit the eommi-.-Hin form ot government
-hall Is* adopted their vote tomorrow on
tin* * pie-lion of whether a commission to
form a eharter -hall Is* ehueao will reallv*
deride the i--ue of the ultimate eieetion on
whether the charter formed ami submitted
