Poor Farm Ordinance.
HE OBJECTS TO THE KIYER FRONT.
Controller Morrow's Letter on Street Im
provements and
THE SEED OF A TOTE OF THE CITIZENS
The following is the Mayor's message to
Councils referred to in the Council proceed
ings on another page, in which he gives his
reasons for vetoing the-1'oor Farm ordinance:
To the President and aHinberi of Select Council:
"Geictlenex I respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval, 'An
ordinance Xo. 635 of Select Council) au
thorizing and directing advertisements lor
proposals to the City of Pittsburg for tho sale
to Ktid city of real estate to be used for the
relief andemployment of the poor.' etc., etc.
'This ordinance is objectionable in two re
spects. In the firt place it confines tho pur
chase to a river front, and in the second
place it does not specify evenapproximately
the number of acres required. Speaking in
general terms I believe that the best inter
ests of the city demand that all ordinances,
specifications and advertisements inviting
proposals for material and work, or for the
sale to the city of supplies, apparatus or real
estate, should'be so framed as to open the
door to the widest possible range of competi
tion. It will doubtless be generally ad
mitted thatdhis portion is in harmony with
the established rules of business, and in full
accord with the spirit of the law governing
such matters. Such, however, has not been
the established policy of this city. On the
other h?nd, the tendency has been to narrow
the sphere of competition. Asa cousequenco
our streets are paved with a certain kind of
material: our fire equipments are confined
to apparatus having some exclusive device:
and the proposals for the sale to the city of
land for a i'oor Farm are limited to a half
dozen of people who own suitable property
on a rii er tront.
Speaklnjr From Past Experience.
"What has been our past experience in at
tempting to purchase laud fronting on our
rivers? Our first effort demonstrated that
almost every farm in the county inspected
by your committee was controlled "by a syn
dicate that held an option on the property
at u price less than half that demanded from
the city. Property that was held by the
rightf ijl owner at $259 to $350 an acre was gen
erously offered by a philanthropic syndicate
to the city at $0C0 or SMtta.n acre. Taking ad
vantage of the city's efforts to buy a home
for her untortunate poor, these enterprising
speculators denned it "a religious duty to
tlicmelves and the community to thrust, if
possible, their arms into the treasury of tha
city and take out $150,000 or $300,000 to be
equally divided between themselves and
tho legitimate owner of tho property.
"Tho interests of the city cannot bo pro
moted by tho encourr percent of this kind of
enterprise. On whatever business princi
ples it may be based, however ingeniously it
may be explained, in its practical applica
tion it must bo recognized as a sort ot legal
ized robbery. It simply mear.& the taking of
money from the trcasuiT without giving an
equivalent in return. It is a species of spol
iation to which the public have in a measure
become accustomed, but which is, neverthe
less, an outrage on the rights of the people.
Upon the wild lrontier, in the midst of a
rude, untutored people, it is no uncommon
occurrence for travelers on a secluded high
way to be waylaid and robbed; but the plun
derers of great cities are the excrescent
growth of an enlightened civilization. And
what of our second attempt? Concerning one
of the properties offered it is unnecessary to
speak. The unfavorable comments made at
the time regarding it, by the- press and tho
public, must be fctill fresh in the memory of
each member of your honorable body. The
party representing another property had,
immediately prior to tho presentation of his
proposal, obtained an option on a large part
of the land offered at two-filths of the price
demand d by htm from tho city. Still anoth
erhad been offered to private individuals at
two hundred dollars an acre less than the
price et forth in his propovf tion to the Con
troller. But one of the farms recommended
by your committee as suitable for the re
quired purpose was offered at anything like
an approach to its real value.
"In view, therefore, of our past experience
rti3-!roii-wTj -incorporate in' the present
ordinance a restriction that will again ren
der the city subject to tho power of a few
individuals determined to take advantage
of her apparent necessity by demanding
wild and extravagant prices for land which,
for farming purposes, is not worth more
than $150 an acre? I cannot think that as
individuals and in the management of our
own affairs we would pursue such a course.
It does not seem Just to the city. If we
must have property fronting on a river the
striking out of the restriction to which I
refer will not in the least prevent its pur
chase. But the omission of this provision
will extend the field of competion; and, as a
result other available farms in the county
will be proposed, and at prices, too, if I mis
tako not, that will compel those who control
property on the river iront to review their
estimates and reduce very materially the
excessive values placed on their land.
As to the Necessity of a Klvor Front.
"Is it not reasonable to suppose that by
such action we might be able to save $50,000
or $75,000 to the city? Is it not worth the
effort? But, again, is a river front essential
to a poor farm? I have no hesitation in
stating thut I do not believe it is. I know
tho argument is advanced that there must
be a river to supply the necessary water and
provide suitable drainage. If tue first part
of this argument be true, what then becomes
of similar institutions maintained and sup-
Sorted by cities and counties that have no
irgc streams and rivers? If there be truth
in the second, it is only proper to add that it
is au unhappy condition of things that
makes it necessary to pollute tho stream
which supplies our city with '.rater, by
emptying into it the filth and sewerage and
fetid matter that might be used to better
purpose in fertilizing the soil. From Cin
cinnati we have the testimony that a river
front is not at all essential. It might be a
convenience, nothing more. Artesian wells
supply their poor farm with an abundance
of good w ater. From Philadelphia we have
testimony of a like character. Boston, Bal
timore and Columbus speak in a similar
strain. Xev York says that land fronting
on a river is, as a rule, too expensive for
farming purposes.
"Thus we might present cumulative evi
dence from other large cities tending to es
tablish the fact that there are many mana
gers of institutions similar to ours who do
not share in tho opinion that a Poor Farm
should necessarily border on a river. Such
a location is a convenience, but not a neces
sity. If the convenience could bo had for
reasonable compensation, it might be well
enough to have it; but that such a thing is
impossible has been conclusively demon
strated by tho experience we have already
had. And furthermore, it may be proper to
state that within a, comparatively brief
period of time tho available river fronts
within the limits of this county will be
monopolized by manufacturing industries
and growing towns. To such a site, there
lore, the encroachments of population will
in a few years constitute anew the objections
so persistently urged against the location of
the present farm. If this be a truthful state
ment, and I do not believe it will be dis
puted, it presents an unanswerable argu
ment against the purchase of an expensive
larm bordering on the river.
Popular Opinion for a Small Farm.
'From the information supplied by the
cities to which I .have referred, and others.
which might be mentioned, it becomes evi
dent that tho prevailing opinion is in favor
of a small farm. Such a farm is the more de
sirable for tho reason that tho inmates of
an almshouse are, generally speaking, so de-"
bilitatcd by disease and old age as to render
them practically useless in tho performance
of manual labor. While the inmates of tho
iusaue department possess more physical
strength, it will hardly bo seriously main
tained that men of disordered. Intellects and
shattered minds are capable of rendering re
liable or effective service in the cultivation
of an extensive farm. It is moreover true
that a very large proportion of those who
find homes in our poorhouse have never had
the opportunity ot acquiring a knowledge of
agricultural pursuits. Being ignorant ot tho
duties ot larm life, their labor cannot be ad
vantageously utilized in that department of
industry.
"It has been said by a very intelligent gen
tleman ol Extended experience in the man
agement of a poor farm, that even male
paupers who are able to work answer no
valuable purpose in tilling tho soil. Lazy,
shiftless and utterly without ambition, they
peek every opportunity to escape the very
appearance of work. The hope of cultivat
ing a large farm with such labor is vain, de
lusive and unsubstantial. Chicago with her
00 acres and l.TOO lmtinprs Mnnnt i-!aAnffi
cient vegetables to supply her institution. I
As to tho growing of wheat, rye and oats, tho
experience oi other cities goes to prove that I
such grain can be boughtin the open market I
for much less than it. costs to produce it
through the instrumentality of paupcrlabor. '
"Is it wise, therefore, to put the municipal- i
ity to the expense of purchasing an oxten-I
fcire iannr .is it not positively unwise to do
so, if the prices demanded in the past are an
index of -what the prices will be? I submit
these questions earnestly and In the full be
lief that they are worthy of consideration.
I know that suitable employment should be
provided for those who are supported at the
expense of the city, but I. believe that a
farm sufficiently large to furnish pasturage
and produce the vegetables required by the
institution would supply all tho work the
Inmates are able to perform. For such pur
poses a farm of 5 or 100 acres would be
abundantly large, and in my Judgment the
ordinnnco should be so framed as to limit the
purchase accordingly.
"Very respectfully,
'II. L Gourlky, Mayor."
Controller Morrow's tetter to Councils.
Controller Morrow's communication argu
ing tho necessity of a popular vote on the
issuo of bonds to pay street improvement
contractors was as follows:
To the Select and Common Councils:
"Gektxemex As your honorable bodies
are already aware, the Supreme Court has
striken down tho legislation of the years
1SS7 and 1SS9 relating to street Improvements
in this citv and have hereby imposed upon
the municipal corporation, not by implica
tion only, but by their unquestionable dic
tum, the liability for the payment of the
cost of improvements made under said
legislation to a sum which will aggregate
not less than $2,000,000. This decision of tho
Court was announcea in juarcn last, anu n
soon as its import could be correctly ascer
tained, tho city authorities, through corpo
rate channels and through the conference
nndcounel of citizens called by the Mayor
in town meeting, took the necessary steps to
procure from the Legislature such curative
enactment to supply the defects revealed
by the Supreme Court as was thought to bo
expedient and feasible. The City Attorney
is now engaged, as directed by resolution -of
your honorable bodies, in applying the
recently obtained legislation to the necessi
ties of the occasion, and, while I believo
that the city will through this means derive
a very large sum of monev, perhaps sufficient
to meet the whole liability eventually, the
hope cannot be indulged that she will be
ablo from this source to satisfy the impend
ing claims at once or even in a reasonable
time. The uncertainty in the, public mind,
whether or not the new assessments re
quired to be made will themselves be sub
jected to tho gauntlet of the courts and
possibly non-confirmed there, may cause
many persons to withhold payment until
prospective legislation shall have been de
termined. Power and Recourse of the City.
"The right to obstruct orretard collections
is one of the corollaries of citizenship, but
will, in the end, provo beneficial in effecting
a quietus upon disputed points and thus
determining at the outstart Just what power
and recourse tho city forever possesses. I
have myself tho highest confidence in tho
practical righteousness and ultimate sta
bility of the city's contention to recover
every dollar of tho old assessments by new
ones. In the meantime the contractors and
those who have -supplied them with money,
are painfully deprived of large sums equit
ably due and have no negotiable asset to
represent their claims. I am advised and
bellove that they could proceed in court and
obtain Judgment, which would bear interest
at 6 per centum and require satisfaction by
a direct tax levy upon the property of the
citizens at the next annual appropriation if
not sooner.
"I expect a deficiency at this time from
this year's appropriations of about $100,000.
More than double that of last year, which,
with the above claims or Judgments of the
contractors, will require an increase of tho
tax rate from 15 mills, as at present, to not
less than S3 mills. Now, this is a heavy bur
den to impose upon the taxpayers at one
time, especially as the related benefits are
special, progressive and distributive, and
not applicable in any leAuitable ratio what
ever to the uniformity of the increased tax
exacted from the rate payers individually;
whereas, if tho city should use her credit in
the bond market and afterwards collect the
assessment from the parties directly bene
fited, the community is taxed for interest
and eased by accumulations in the sinking
fund uniformly, and in the end the costs and
expenses of tho improvements will have
been at least paid by those whom law and
common sense intended should pay them.
Benefit of the Sinking Fund.
"Of course, if the curative legislation falls
to bring the collections as reported, the city
would have her bonds to pay, but the sink
ing fund could take half the amount required
to be issued, and she would so far save the
interest on them. I was from the beginning
in favor of the city issuing her own bonds
and paying the debt direct, because the Su
preme Court has left no escape from the
liability therefor, but I thought with many
others that tho Legislature, then sitting,
could afford equtHly uuthoritati ve and more
speedy means of adjusting our affairs than
any other means. The weight and authority
of opinions, however, developed after mora
careful examination of all tho facts, seem
to have no other conclusion than thata vote
of the qualified electors of tho city will be
necessary to authorizeyour honorable bodies
to direct the issue of bonds, if you decide to
meet the emergency in that way.
"I submit herewith the draft of an ordi
nance directing an election to bo held for the
purpose of ascertaining the will of the elect
ors of the city whether bonds shall be issued
for the amount and purpose above referred
to. The date of maturity and rate of inter
est of the proposed loan, while not essential
to be discussed at this time, should be inti
mated to the people, and I think a five-year
loan at i or 5 per cent interest could bo
placed now. Very respectfully,
"E. S. Mobbow."
