Immediate Election Sought By Peoples Council Charter Group
The Peoples Council Manager Charter petition committee asks District Attorney William N. Hensley to join a mandamus suit to compel an immediate election on 13 proposed amendments. They seek a court order to force the city council to call the election, aiming for an April 12 date or thereabouts with June 1, 1950 cited as the charter’s effective date. Sam Jorrie, chairman, said the petition was dispatched Wednesday night and noted a potential charter change that would set June 1, 1951, as the start. Hensley stated he would join if called, and warned a charter violation occurs if the people present a weird dissolution that alters provisions materially.
