371. A convention was held in Chicago beginning in 1905 to preparea complete, and simple charter for the city under the power givenby the amendment of the Constitution adopted in 1904 abovementioned. The charter prepared by this convention was com-pleted, and adopted by the General Assembly May 12, 1907. Asrequired by the act of the assembly adopting it, and the amendmentto the Constitution of 1904, this charter was submitted to the vote ofthe people at a special election held September 17, 1907, but wasdefeated. At the present time therefore, Chicago is governed under thespecial charters granted to it before 1870, the general incorporationlaw, and the various amendments thereto applying to Chicago,including the special Chicago act of 1905, except so far as the oldcharters are inconsistent with the general law as amended. Inthose respects the latter controls. The city is now divided into 35 wards. Two aldermen arechosen from each ward, one from each ward goes out of office everyvear.
