MY DELAY RETURN
h Fight Over Philadelphia Reform
Bill in Legislature May Await
His Coming
governor Sprout Is reported to hnvo
Buffered n recurrence of ibeumatism at
Hot Springs, Vn., where ho has been
recuperating from a previous attack for
the last tn days. Ho may not return
to Ilarrisburg next week, as he had
originally planned.
Should the Governor's latest illness
detain him his absence would probably
delay action on the Philadelphia re
form measures, for which the rival Pen
rose and Vare camps have been mar
shaling their forces.
Political loaders have intimated re
cently that the extent of any factional
ngnc oeiwccn mo 1'enrose ana arc
forces over charter revision, the Brady
registration bills and other reform
measures would depend largely on the
attitudo to be taken by the Governor.
Followers of Senator Penrose had
planned to arrange their program for a
"showdown" on the reform measures
this week and then submit it to the
Governor for his consideration cither
tomorrow or Monday in Ilarrisburg.
Several amendments are understood
to bo drafted for the Woodward charter
bills and will bo presented when the
measures reach the House. At present
theyrnre in the Senate municipal affairs!
committee, of which Senator Vare is
rnnirmnn.
One of the proposed amendments will
I be presented by Itcpresentativc .lames
Franklin, a Vare member of the House
from West Philadelphia. It will pro
I vide for the creation of a department
I of title insurance in the city govern -7m;nt.
Representative Tranklin says the rity
) nhould have such a department because
it nas inc inufinnery mm mnt mere is
no reason why it should not carry on
the business aud "receive the financial
returns which the title companies get
for such services."
"The title companies, " says Mr.
rranUlin, "use the citj's books and
other mnrhinery to make their investi
gations and it has been brought to m
attention that clerks in the office of the
recorder of deeds aud the receiver of
taxes are paid b the title companies to
make certain Imcstigations. This prac
tice, If it exists, should be stopped and
tho city should go into tho business on
its own account."
