THE -PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 189L GRIER TAKES A HAND. The Controller's Answer to the At tempted Salary Grab. KIGE rOIXTS OF LAW ARE RAISED. The Census of 1S90 Kot Tet Properly Pro mulgated Ly Law. A SLAP AT THE COUNTY SOLICITOR Attorney James Fitzsimmons, acting for Controller Grier, yesterday filed au inter vening brief in the cases of the county offi cers ajainst the county, brought to secure their salaries under the act of 18S3. The brief was prefaced x ith the following state ment to the Court by Controller Grier: When the County Contioller discovered that the only defenbe the County Solicitor made to the claim of J. A. Bell, Xo. IS March term, 1892, for salary, under the salary act of 1883, was as follows: "Demurrer Ana now, to-wit, the 9tli day or December, 1S91, comes the county of Allcaheny, defendants, by its solicitors, S. II. Gojcr, and says the plaintiff's declaration or statement is not sufficient in la,,S. II. Gever, solicitor for detendant." lie considered it his duty under hi oath of office and tho powers attached thereto to take action. The powers of the Controller are nest recited, givin him a "general supervision and control of the fiscal affairs of the countv and of the accounts and official acts of all officers or other persons who shall collect, receive or distribute the public moneys of the county, or who shall be charged with the management or custody thereof, and he may at any time require from any of them in writing an account," etc. Under this, the Controller says, he felt it hisduty to file the brief, 'which' is in sub stance as follows: A Claim or Unconstitutionality. The Act or Assembly approved Jlarcli 31, :S7u, I L page 13, is a seneral aet applying toall the counties of the State of Penusyl lania, so Tar as salaries are concerned, into throe classes. Section 12 relates to counties or cities co-extensi vo w ith counties contain ing over 300,000 inhabitants. The 13th sec tion or the same act relates to the salaries of countv officer in counties w hich shall liavo less than 500,000 inhabitants each, and more than 250 000. And section 14 relates to the salaries of all county officers vliicli shall have less than 250.WJ3 ana over 130 000 inhabitants. The contest in the case relates to tho Act of Assembly ol June 13, 1S83. 1. 1- 113, and provides for the salaries of countv officers in counties containing over 500,000 inhabi tants. This net is entitled "An act to fix the salaries to bo paid county officers in counties containing ovcroOO.OJO inhabitants, lieinjr a supplement to an act approved the Slst of March. A. 1)., 157C, entitled 'An act to carrv into effect section S of article H of the Constitution relative to the salaries of countv officers and tho payment or fees re ceived by them into tho Mate or countv ti-easuryin counties containing over 150,000 inhabitants.' " We submit to the Court that this act is un constitutional and void, because it offends against article 3 section 3 or the Constitu tion, which piovides that "Xo bill except pencral aupropriation bills shall be passed containing more than ono subject, which thall be cleaily expressed in its title." The Court w ill observe that the act or 18S3 Is designed to w ork a change in the amount of salaties to be paid countv officers In coun ties containing over 300,000 inhabitants, as provided in section 12 of the act or 1S7C tin der the first section or the act or lsSJtho Court will observe that there is no rererence whatever to the Tact that the population, to w it. 300,000 inhabitants, as in section 12 or the act of 1-7G, was changed to 500 OOOinhabltants under tho actor ltS.1. section 1, nor is there anv notice in tho title of the act of lSS that section 12 of the act of March 31, 1876. was re pealed, a provided for in the second sec tion of the act of 1873. Therefore, under the third section of article ."of the Constitution there was no notice contained in the title of the act of 153 that the tw elf tb section or tho net of isre-nas to be repealed. In an Anomalous Condition. While this position -would, theierore.be against a taxpayer, yet that objection does not amount to much when we are constru ing the acts or passing upon the constitu tionality or legislation. Therefore, under the second section of the act of 1SS3 tho Legislature has attempted to repeal tho twelltb section ol the act or 187C without any notice whatever in the title or the intent or the Legislature, ir this position is correct then the salary question as to counties con taining over "500,000 inhabitants is in an anomalous condition. If the second section or the act or 1SS3 Is or no validity, then we have the schedule or salaries as provided for in section 12 or the act ot 1S76, and the schedule as provided in section lor the act or 1S83 standing together, and no officer would know under which actor assembly he is entitled to receive his salary. There is no notice in the title or the act of l'f3 that the higher class or counties shall bo changed from 300.000 inhabitants to 5J0 000. and this offends against section 5, article 3 of the Constitution.which provides that "no act shall be revised, amended or tie pro visions thereof extended or conferred by reference to its title only, but so much thereof as is revised, amended or conferred shall be re-enacted and published at length' Section 1 of the act of 1S3 does not even attempt to rollow this constitutional pro vision. The fli st spction of the act of 1SS3 re feis to the act of 1870 by its title merely, and then proceeds to lix the aniouutof the popu lation in a county to which the schedule of salaries in the first section of said act w ould applv, and there is no pretension that the schedule of salaries in the twelfth section of the act of 1876 shall be l e-enacted and pub lished at length; and the vice or this legisla tive attempt will be clearly seen w lien we lefcr to the second section of the act or 1883, wherein tho Legislature, without anv notice whatever in the title or the act repeals tho twelfth section or tho act or March 31, 1876. The Court will observe that the act of 1853 is intended to repeal the twelfth section or the act or 1876. Thcreibro. the first and sec ond sections of the act of 1883 are dependant upon each other. If you strike down one the other falls. The Census Not Promu'gated by Law. Another position could be taken in this case, and we think the same is ratal to the plaintiff's case. The county of Allegheny, in the census of 18S0, contained 353,wa inhabi ants. We submit that the census or ISSOis the onlv official census promulgated so far as the county or Allegheny is concerned. Whatever we think or tho population or the county or Allegheny under the cen sus or lt-90, jet we submit that tho decen nial census of ISM has not been promulgated by law as to govern us in the fiiing of tbe salaries Tor the county officers. The statement of the plaintiff is not Fnrllcient for the Court to decide the ques tion ms to w hat the population of the countv or Allegheny at the present is, and the countv or Allegheny is now in the same classification or counties as to population as under the census or 1M30. The salaries taken by the officers or the county or Allegheny since tho decennial census or 18S0 was under the provisions or the act or May 11, 1S9I, P. L. 2L Wo think that the case of Luzerne county vs Glennon, 109 Pa. St., 5G4: Luzerne countv vs. Griffith, 1 Kuip, 297; Harris -s. County. 2 Kulp. 106, and Monroe vs. Countv, 70utcibridge,27S, settle thequestiou that in the absence ot express legislative declara tion ot a lact, or of any method provided by the Legislature, for .isccrtaining it, the las't preceding decennial census is to be resoi ted tons the best evidence ot the population of n county in case or classification or counties by population. W e submit to the court that there is no evidence m the case indicating that the decennial census or 1800 puts Allegheny county in nnv other clas than the one in vliich it is found under the census of 1880.
