[ No. 5.] PETITION of J. B. Bradford and 250 others, praying for a revision of the charter of the city of Detroit. To the Hon. Senate and House of Rep's of the State of Michigan: The undersigned, citizens of the city of Detroit, respectfully petition your Honorable body to enact into a law the bill now pending before you to amend the charter of the city of Detroit, in providing for the proper construction of sewers, preventing members of the Common Council from being interested in city contracts, and establishing a system of assessment which promises a relief from onerous evils now endured by the tax payers. It introduces much needed and salutary reforms, without which our city government will be a positive hardship instead of a benefit to the citizen. J. B. Bradford, H. Hallock, T. H. Armstrong, A. F.
