'0 <br /> a" <br /> vote on each question. Therefore, the only problem which the j <br /> Commission would have to face is reducing the number of <br /> alternatives to the present charter provision from three to <br /> two. <br /> Now here is where the whole question comes to a climax. We <br /> submit to you that the vital difference among 5-2,5-4, and <br /> 9-direct comes strictly from whether or not there are any <br /> at-large councilmen. We firmly believe that this should be <br /> submitted to the people for their decision. This is the <br /> democratic process and a decision by you to do otherwise <br /> would be denying the people their right to specify what <br /> their charter says. <br /> We urge you to : <br /> l) Adopt a ballot in the form we have suggested. <br /> 2) Decide between 5-2 and 5-4 and let the survivor contest <br /> with 9-direct at the charter election as well as with <br /> the present provision. <br /> By so doing this Commission closes the door to almost certain <br /> future criticism for not letting the electorate decide as <br /> to how their charter should be constituted. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> W'''jit,---------,H .,(,? \AA1'4k)s <br /> I <br /> Charles P.Davies,Chairman <br /> WEST HAWAII COMMITTEE • <br /> 1 <br />
