Failure Of Pittsburgh Charter
Due To Absurd Rule,Says Reed

NEW STATESMAN
RBESENTMENT
OVER
"Though strongly endorsed by
the people of Allegheny county, Pa.,
in the recent popular election, the
Pittsburgh charter failed to win a
sufficient number of votes to be-
come law," declared Prof. Thomas
H. Reed of the political science de-
partment in a recent comment on
the defeat of the charter drafted
by him and providing for the par-
tial consolidation of the govern-
ment of the Pittsburgh with that
of Allegheny county. "Its failure-
was not due to any popular dis-
approval of its principle or to pop-
a majority vote in favor of the
Icharter, while one was tied. The
city of Pittsburgh voted more than
eight to one in favor, and the coun-
ty outside Pittsburgh gave it a ma-
jority of 3,612.
The essential nature of the "me-
tropolitan plan" embodied in the
recently defeated charter was the
consolidation of the city and coun-
ty of Pittsburgh, while still pre-
serving to the smaller political di-
visions of the county their cor-
porate personality and certain
enumerated powers.
