"t ''THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, .MAY 10. 1892. WHAT WAS NOT DONE. Many Important City Measures Were Laid Upon the Shelf. THE ALEXANDER OPTION KILLED. Controller Morrow Hakes a Strong Plea for the Major's Tower. CHIEF BKOTVX WANTS MOKE TOLICEMEN Testerday's Council meeting was chiefly remarkable for the business that was not transacted. A number of important mat ters came tip for consideration, but definite action on only one or two such papers was taken and a reference to committees was the fate of the balance. There was an unusually large attendance of citizens interested in the action taken on various ordinances, anions: them a large number of Twenty-third ward property holders who were anxious to know what Councils would do with the vitrified brick ordinance. They were disappointed however, the ordinance for some reason not being included in the report of the Public "Works Committee. As previously printed" in The Dispatch, the new Poor Farm ordinance uas presented by Chairman Perry, of the Charities Com mittee, and referred to that committee for a report, and a resolution was adopted re jecting the Alexander farm option. The free bridge question was revived in Common Council by a resolution from Mr. Bigham for the appointment of a committee to investigate into the question of available sites, cost and other features. Another Sontlislde Bridge Promised. 3Ir. Flinn raised the question that a year sgo a similar committee had reported on a site between the Smithficld street and lenth street bridges, una that Chief Bige low had been Instructed to report the cost of the bridge, but Had not compiled. Tlio resolution was adopted In spite ot Mr. Flinn's objections. After the meeting Mr. Flinn, Mr. Benz and rther Southsido mem bers visited Chief Bigelow and wero niom led that he would report as per Councils' instructions at the next meeting of Coun cils. Three street railwav ordinances were pre sented, one for the Bloouifield stree' Rail way Company, chartered at Flarrisburs yesteiday, ol which Judhna Rhodes, John G. Taggart, George M. Ton Bonnhorst, V. II. Scif and William M. Adams aie the in corporators, and the capital stock $12,000. The route begins at Willvalo and Center avenue, along Millvale street to the pro posed bridge across the 1'onnsylvania Kail road, to Yew street, to Mathilda street, to Liberty avenue, to Main street, and thenco to Penn aven'ie: also along Edmund from Liberty to Penn. The Wilkinsburg Street Hallway Com pany, one of the branches of the Duquesne Traction Company, which has been com pleted, aks for an extension of time to Feb ruary, ls93 This i- the Grazier street or Hamilton avenue route to Wilkinstmrg, on which work is now being done. Jloro street Hallway Ir.inchlsrs Wanted. The Schenlcy Pat k and Highland Hallway Company asks for additional right of way over a route beginning at Fralieh and Forbes streets, where their present line now crosses Forbes street, along Forbes to Craig streets, and retumini thence along Forhe- street to Fralieh street, the place of bcffinning. . the old bill for $22,977 14 of the Philadel phia Company's for natural gas furnished the Brilliant water works early last year, on whicn a suit is now pending, came up in Select Council, indorsed bv Chief Dhrelow. the Major and the contractor, and was ordered paid. Tint when it leached Common Council was laid over at request of Messrs. Wiiglit and Ferguson, who claimed it was incorrect The ordinance providing Interest to con tractois on street impiovenients when coin- Iilrted was presented and referred to the 'mancc Committee Chief Brown sent in a communication asking for moie police. The tiudnmioiind wire ordinance nai not pre sented, a conference having been held in the Mayor's office between electric liplit and telegraph and city officials during the morn ing, at which it was decided best to wait a week or two before piesentiufcan ordinance. A number of members withdrew from Select Council before business in thatbranch was finished, breaking a quorum and com pelling adjournment. A special meeting next Monday will be the result. Morrow riles an Objection. Controller Morrow's fight to have all city contracts submitted to the Mavor for ap proval came up in Common Council on the jollowing communication, which was releircd to the Finance Committeo andtho City Attorney without discussion: Pitts ncno. Pa., May 9. To the Select and Common Councils: Gr.yn.vxEy Havincbeen furnished by the cleiks of your honorable bodies with certifi cates of your affirmative action in the matter of the approval of contracts lor sundry sup plies for the current year awarded lv the Chief of the Department of Public Safety, which certification of your approval is in tended to authorize me to make the new. sary disbursementsunderthe said contracts, I deellH to inform vonr hoiinmliln lmHinnf! mv belief that said action is incomplete and of quite doubtful legality in its present form. Keiernng to the letter of Mavor Gourley of a recent dnte.u herein he called your.ittention to the advisability of having his official con cuirence upon the approval of thoso con tracts, lam constrained to the same viens therein expressed, and will not consider myself sufficiently empowered to pay any bills under those con ti acts until the power of Councils to bind the city in that manner is established quite clearly Devoud a reason able question. In this case I do not think the Councils alone havn legal power to en gage the expenditure of a single dollar. If the approval of contracts be an executive function of municipal government, the Mayor, if he be the chief executive, shall have duties to perform pertaining thereto by necessary implication. Mast Have lUo 3Iayor Approval. If such acts are held to be legislative acts, they must follow the prescribed course ror all legislation and the presentation to the Mayor for Ilia approval or disapproval be comes imperative. Is the making of con tracts an executive or legislative aciT It is both, lor it is accomplished in two distinct: steps. The one is the preparation or the lnatiou ot the materials and proposals the tabulation of the bids and the discriminat ing exeicise of judgment in rezard to same, and the designation of the lowest and best, all or which duties 1 concede should be pei formed by the executive departments severally, sub ject to the supei visorv po er or the Mayor. Here the execulivr functions stop and the legislative poers be?i!i. The resolve, con clusion or determination ot the governing body to indulge certain expenditures and commit the city to their payment the will or consent to make the puichaseamllct tho contract is the other stop, and involves the exeicise of legislative "power. It is the higher power. Initiator!' and paramount, and it is in this volitional sense that tho law vests In tho legislative department the making of contracts. The legislative department of the city alone has the power to mako contracts, and must exer cise It by a resolution of Councils to that effect, which must be approved by the Ma or or passed over his eto. As the consoli dation act or JS87 vested tho corporato authority in the Councils and the Maj or.and ns the attempt to asigu Icgi-lativo functions specifically to Councils and execu tive duties opecirically to tho Mavor by the new charter act ot leS7, was dUallowed by the Supreme Court, I can see no meaning in the law, unless the joint action of these two arms bo necessary to constitute any cornorate action at nil. This imprimatuio of the corporate power by tho consolida tion act was confirmed by supplement in . 'Jj"vlilch latter was sought to lie repealed in IS.5 in respect to the Mayor's power of 1 supervision over the officers, which repeal ling act has been impeached bv the Supreme I Court and altogether supplanted by tho 'charter act. The Major's Authority Dcflnrd. The misconception which has hithorto at tended the discussion upon tho powers of the department disappears when wo trace ftheir history Horn lt16 to the present time , from the time when no corporate power existed to its first definite grant in that year to the Councils. It will bo understood that the corporate poner includes leglsla tlve.Judicial aim executive functions, hut the original charter assigned the Judicial power to tho Mayor It fiave no executive power that was reposed in the Councils in the general grant of the corporate power. Hence, the Major was known us the magistrate of the city nothing more. From 1816 to the consolidation act ot 1867, this con ception of their status had so diffused itself by infiltration through two generations that it is not surprising the biond notion of Councils' powers shall still survive. But the necessities of modern cities have required a different officer trom the b.vgone police mag istrate, and the mayor as an executive has become Incorporated in the plan of city government, clothed with authority to rep lesent the coiporatton as a supervising and directing buslncs officer. Tne consolidation act of 1S67 marked the beginning of this change in our form of government, as it did in material directions. Subsequent legisla tion of 1S6S, 1874, 1875 and 18S7 all dealt with his particular ieatnre, and In the two in stances (1873 and 18S7). where modifications backward to the condition prior to consoli dation were attempted, the Supreme Court has prevented the change. Their pronun clamento upon the act of 1SS7 completely striking down the restrictions sought to be put around the Mayor's authoiitv is yet fresh in our minds and I have come to per ceive that the union of the Mayor and the Councils to perform anv corporate aot is one of the necessities of our scheme of mu nicipal transactions. Djnsers or Present Methods Pointed Oat. There is no other mode of doing business with legal sufficiency. I consider the denial of the Mayor's lull right to one-half of all the corporate power conferred by the Legis lature tobe so fallacious as to impute danger to everything Councils may attempt to do without his approval. It is not with me a matter of opinion what powers Councils or the Mayor should have respectively, but a mattor of law. and so definite and clear, that, as I at fir-t said, I am unwilling to draw a single warrant under those con tracts whoso award has elicited this communication, without advising vour honorable bodies of the extreme grav ity of the situation. Section 27 or the act or April fi. 187. saj-: "All resolutions or or ders to enter into a contract whereby the corporation mav become liable for the pay ment o' money. "shall be fully and distinctly read on three different days," and so-tion 4 or the act of May 23. 1874, savs that "every legislative act of Council shall be by resolution or ordinance, and every ordi nance or resolution shall be certified to tho Mayor for his approval." The language of tho law is its own dictionary; it makes the entering into a contract for payment of money, a duty which Councils are directed to peflorm in a certain manner a legisla tive dutv which becomes amenable to legis lative.fo"rm. I would, therefore. ak that von reconsider your former action in ap proving those contracts of tho safety de partment and that your approval bo mani fested by a proper resolution, which shall be sent to 'the Maj-or for his proper action within his sphere.' Reepeotfully, E. S. Monnow, City Controller. A large number of new contracts were ap proved in both branches of Council, not withstanding the above communication. MOKE COHNEEMEN NEEDED. Chief Drown Again Wants the Number of Patrolmen Increased. In Select Council Chief Brown presented a report, which was received and filed, as to the number of policemen stationed at cor ners and "attending to business for traction companies," and while thus employed, paid by the several street car companies. There are in addition. 25 cornermen, paid by the cltv, tho report continues, at the regular rate ot patrolmen, stationed with teference to the greatest protection. The report then goes on to state: "There should be at least 23 additional cornermen stationed at all ciossings on Smithficld strept between the Smithfleld street bridge nnd Libertv street: on Wood between Fourth nvenne and Market: iwo at Liberty and Sixth street": at Market and Fourth avenue. Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh nnd Sixteenth streets on Penn avenue: at the LAke Erie depot, and one at South Twelfth street. Pittsbnrg is the only city of its size that has no daylight force. No officers are on dnty between 6 a. M. and 2 r. M., except corner men. It is impossible for pedestrians to cross streets without danger, as the great stream of vehicles aie hard to separate at the required 13 feet. "In 1SG9 there were 14 cornermen, and to dav, with the great Increase In tiavol.but 20." The suggestion is then made that the force be Increased to enable the city to be properlr covered. This city has but two reliefs of ten hours each, while in other citle the force is large enough toallow three reliefs of eight hours each, and protection thus assured all tho daj In closing the report the chief savs in re lation to placing cornermen, "If the street car companies are incidentally benefited byhls protection, so is the general public, especially women and children, and if the city is in dntj- bound to afford corporations some protection then the city shduld be reimbursed bj- car license." Food for Future Scraps. Sew business presented in Common Coun cil was as follows: An ordinance for repay ing Third avenue from Market street to Wood street; ordinance repealing an ordi nance for a sewer on Erin street: ordinances for sewers on Turrett street, St. Clair street, Hays street: ordinances establishing tho grade of Daum street, Mayflower street, Meridcn strcetanA Oneida street: ordinances for grading, paving nnd cuibing Oneida street, Arlington avenue and Trent street; ordinance vacating an unnamed alley in the rourtliard; ordinance opening Arlington nvenne; ordinance locating Black street.
