Common Council Lays Oyer All the
Street Improvements.
ALLEGHENY TO HAVE AN AUD1TOB.
Here
Is a Fcheme in It to Lay
Auditor John McKirdj.
Cut
BIGGER IS SCHEDULED FOE THE PLACE
Allegheny Common Council last night
sustained Mayor Kennedy's position on
street improvements. -There will be no
more street or sewer ordinances passed un
til some vray is provided to raise the money.
The intention still is, however, to force the
issne to a vote. The leaders want to spend
51,000,000 in fixing up the streets. There
Is only J45,C00 lor street improvements, and
three ordinances aggregating about 560,000
were passed. All the others were laid over.
Mayor Kennedy said emphatically he
would veto every one of them.
The Auditor ordinance passed with
scarcely any opposition. The unanimity of
opinion- Mas something wonderfnL Both
the reform and the Hunter factions were
for it The secret was that the latter ele
ment was aiming a blow at Auditor Mc
Kiruy. The ordinance provides only foran
auditor, but does not allow him any assist
ance, not even a clerk. As soon as the
Mayor signi the ordinance a special meeting
is to be called to fix a time for electing an
auditor. He will be chosen as early as pos
sible, and his name is T. W. Bigger, who is
in charge of the present audit
A Tlan to lay Oat McKIrdy.
This programme will of course throw Mr.
McKirdy out, wnile under the present sys
tem his place ould be good for eight
months or a year. One of .the Hunter
members stated last night they would
ODnose anv attempt to give the auditor a I
clerk. He did not believe there was any
need for one. ,
After this had been attended to, Council
presented Treasurer Macferron with a clerk
at 900 a year. YiThen the auditor ordi
nance was called up for action, Mr. Arm
strong made a flowing speech against hav
ing an auditor. The point was raised that
the Controller was the auditor of the cHy,
and also that tho ordinance conflicted with
the city charter. This started a flow of ora
tory of about 500.pounds-a-minute pressure.
Mr. Dahlinger stood up for the ordinance
and claimed an auditor was a necessity.
He said nearly all large cities had one and
even railroads and other corporations have
an auditor as well as a controller.
Mr. Patton recalled a resolution passed
some time ago asking the Legislature to
pass a law that any citizen can go into
ccurt and ask for the appointment of an
Ruditor in cities of the second class during
January of anv year He said this would
answer and believed the relief should come
from the State rather than the city.
The Controller Couldn't Do the TVork.
Mr. Gerwig There is no question about
this ordinance being constitutional. It
does not conflict with the powers of the
Controller. The Controller has charge of
all the city's money, and that is enough for
him to da If he were theauditor.no one
would have supervision over his books. Do
you suppose the Controller would find any
fault with his own books? The idea is
ridiculous. Everybody realizes the worth
of the audit to-day, and why not keep it up.
If it Mas in the'hands of the Controller a
clerk would have to do the work.
Mr. Schondelmeyer This is the best piece
of legislation ever before this body, but it
does conflict with an act of Assembly.
Mr. Gerwig It only conflicts with an or
dinance. Mr. Dahlinger It conflicts with the
charter ordinance, not the charter itself.
Mr. Schondelmeyer Then I say let her go.
Mr. Mercer then mentioned that the elec
tion of an auditor would reduce the cost
52.200 a j car. The present auditors are not
under bon i, while the auditor to be elected
would be uuder 10,000 bond.
Mi. l'aulin'objected because the ordinance
did not specify any requirements. The vote
overruled all "his objections, and the only
ones who voted against it were Cruikshank,
Knox, Patton and Paulin.
3Iayor Kennedy Calls a Halt.
As had been expected, Mavor Kennedy
had a little communication for Councils,
warning them not to pass ordinances for
street improvements wbfn there was no
money. His letter was as follows:
Gentlumex I would lespectfully ask that
your honorable body would not pass the
street ordinances ot repavlnjc now before
3 oa from Select Council until such time as
the money is ready and transferred to the
street improvement account.
These ordinances can be called up at any
time the money Is ready, and w ill not cause
any delay by simply holding them where
they are now and not acting on them.
Yours respectfully,
A list of the streets referred to, the
Intended improvements on which are re
grading and repaving, was given. They are

they remembered Mayor Kennedy's mess

MoKinnie & Chessman Manufacturing Com

Gentlemen' I wish to advise you of the
remarkable effect of the small quantity of
"Bheumacura" which I took recently. Suf
fering, as I was, from an accute attack ot
Lumbago, and almost helpless at times,
within 12 hours after commencing to take
the wonderful medicine relief was had, and
before the second day the very unpleasant
symptoms had disappeared. I have had no
occasion to use "Bheumacura" since, hut to
anyone Buffering with Lumbago I can cer
tainly recommend the remedy.
Yours truly, W. G. BOWIiAND,
