"Tha city Is already equipped, In tha City Architect's office and the Depart ment of Public Works, for obtaining designs, supervising and constructing the building," the bureau stated. As a background for ita argument, the research bureau traced the origin of the office of the County Commis sioners, officials who also are known as City Commissioners. In Philadelphia the powers ordinarily exercised by County Coramtsslene'rs nre almost overshadowed by City Council. This Is due te the fact that the rlty and the county of Philadelphia are iden tical In territory. An act of the Legislature autherlreil County Commissioners te erect memer ials te eerrka man. .The commlselenare were empowered te levy a tax for that purpose. , The County Commissioner! here have waived the questionable right con ferred en tnem as te wei iw, uu Council apparently Intends te have the county officials plan and build a victory Hall here.
