THE MAYO H'S LETTERS.
II Writes a Scathing Letter to tho Coun
cll-Scoios Mr. Hcutlcliiihcr.
At the city council meeting- Inst night
two scathing letters from Mayor Nich
ols were read, the full text of which is
given below:
Wllkcs-Barre, Fa., Juno 10, 1883.
City Council:
(ieutlemen I my Inaugural address of
this year I, inter alia, undertook to con
vince your honorable body of the necessity
ot providing a new system of management
for the administration of our elty govern
ment. The organization recommended In
this deliverance requires the OHtubliah
ment of a detinlte lino of partition Let. won
the provinces of our executive and legis
lative branches, and tho sub-dlvlslon of
tho latter into departments each having a
chief superintendent solely responsible for
the performance of the services allotted
to h'.s Jurisdiction. Your treatment of this
suggestion justilles, In my mind, the con
clui.jn that you are unwilling to furnish
the legislation it proposes. Hence I deem
it proper to continue my effort to demon
strate tho noed of its adoption unci, for this
purpose, I respectfully invite your atten
tion to the inharmonious conditions now
existing in our public service. These con
tentions are destructive of good govern
ment and their presence here Is wholly
clue to a governmental management in
which the spheres of duty and responsi
bility are not ascertained und the funda
mental allottment of civil powcrB and pre
rogatives ignored. Thus destitute of Itxed
boundaries each of the major and minor
divisions of our municipal service is con
tinually disturbed and weakened by the
aggressions and usurpations of the others,
livery public servant is subject to the do
minion of many masters frequently exact
ing of him obedience to conlHctlng rules
and policies. Twenty-one custodluns of
the councllmanlu or legislative power,
supported alone by the authority ot an un
lawful custom, through the voice of their
ruling number, their committees and tho
chairman of these committees, are the su
preme directors of the operations of every
executive department of the government.
Under such an Illogical and discordant
regime, vigor, efficiency and harmony of
administration aro Impossible.
Especially is this statement true con
cerning the relation of the mayor to the
council. His Jurisdiction embraces all
powers whose supreme function Is to com
pel obedience to the laws, and he alone is
responsible to the public for the execution
of the trust thus confided to him. Any at
tempt on the part of the council or a com
mittee or member thereof to abridge this
rnnge of authority or to inlluence public
agents assigned to Its service to disregard
the mandates and wishes of its representa
tive is an act of usurpation of the most
reprehensible, character. Nevertheless,
during all the time I have been permitted
to allege that "I am the mayor of this
city' like all my predecessors. I have been
hindered and exasperated In the effort to
discharge the duties of the olHce by Just
Buun iiivnmuns anu inienerences. i snail
not at this time make speclflu application
of this charge to any member or branch
of the council other than the chairman
of the police committee. Ho has contin
ually and In the most offensive and tyran
nical manner controlled the management
of the police force, both in dictations to
the commanding officers and reprovals
and suggestions to the individual patrol
man. The authority he thus arrogates to
himself, accompanied with the menace In
the power of appointment and dismissal
entrusted to him, overcomes and renders
nugatory all orders of the mayor not In
, conformity to his will or In any manner
denying the supremacy of his rule. The
Immediate cause of the antagonisms In
the police service recently exposed in the
puhlie press resulted from the unlawful
and insulting actions of this functionary.
Through his Influence the mayor is de
prived of the active and willing co-operation
of the chief of police In his effort to
dislodge from their ancient Intrenchments
find banish from our city the presence of
certain hideous monsters of public vice.
In this arraignment I do not mean to
Impute tOihlm sympathy for the criminals
wuuiu nuvo unuergu me law s nunisn
ment. or desire to have the haunts of Im
morality I would have extirpated, con
tinued in this community. But motives
are not relevant to tho issue. I am con
strained to submit to the consideration of
your honorable body. The questions 1
am determined to press to a final solution
are: First, Who Is the commander of our
police forco, and, second, if the chief of
police Is the lawful occupant of this posi
tion, is he not bound to execute the orders
of the mayor pertaining to the preserva
tion of the public peace and the enforce
ment, of the laws and ordinances? Of
course these Inquiries are more properly
subjects for the attention of a Judicial
tribunal. Still, you can, in the exercise of
your legislative power, give to them a de
termination free from all uncertainties.
Indeed I am positive that the ordinances
touching these questions, now In exist
ence, fully support tho rightfulness of my
objection to the Interferences of the chair
man of the police committee. The com
mand and' direction of the police force are
wholly committed to the chief and he
cannot, therefore, submit to the dictations
of others without violating the obligations
of his office. -'.
But the vicious practice against which I
am protesting has been so long tolerated
that It cannot be abolished until con
demned In either some prohibitory legis
lation or Judgment of the courts. Hence
I respectfully suggest the adoption of an
ordinance specifically forbidding the chair
man of the police committee from under
taking in any manner whatsoever, to
control or Influence the will, judgment or
action ot the chief ot police In the dis
charge of his duties or the exercises of his
authority. Such a measure would release
our police service from the shackles of
fear now demoralizing its discipline and
enfeebling Its efficiency. The men em
ployed in this service aro willing and well
qualified to faithfully and fearlessly per
form every duty and assume every respon
sibility connected with their stations. If
ansured that obedience to the rules pre
scribed for their government and the com
mands of their chief were the only price
required for ihe continuance of their em
ployment, I am sure that public vice arid
rrlmik In ttilc nnmm tiitir AnnU (
the ceaseless scourglngs ot the law's pun
ishment. -
Tho benefit- thus attainable, however,
cannot be fully realized without accord
ing to the mayor's office authority, to com
pel the execution of the orders of its rep
resentative. The notions heretofore enter
. ta'.ned concerning the prerogatives and
powers of this official are destined to be
speedily revolutionized. He Is the chief ex
ecutive of our city government, and the
recognition due to this position must be
yielded. I have la the plan of reorganiza
tion referred to, Indicated a. method by
which your honorable body can elevate
hia office to this grade of dignity. But if
you persist In your refusal to- grant the
legislation necessary to its Introduction,
the sentiment of this people Trill soon force
us Into the general municipal system of
the commonwealth. They, appreciate the
absurdity and Inexpediency of a scheme
of management that 'confers upon the
council the privilege to appointing and
controlling the public servants charged
with the duty of. procuring obedience to
their legislation. TAey realize the fact
that disease in the, publto service isv rem-,
edlless unless responsibility for Its exist
ence Is easily ascertainable. Their locnl
p)1de and-civlc patriotism prompt tbenv to
Insist upon treatment of tho mayor's of
fice that will seauae tor Its admlnlntr.tlori
men qualified to tepreaent their city, at
home and abroad, in a manner corroFpond
Ing to their Intelligence and enterprise.
Why do you dlsiasud (this demand, ot the
people? Burely you cannot deny Its ex
istence. You know that all the people
whom we represent indorse every past
and present effort to advance our mayor
to tho rank and dignity and power occu
pied by thoso of the other cities of this
commonwealth. Why, then, do you resist
these efforts? If you are Induced to. take
this position beoause you believe they are
Intended to bear conditions vlolntlve of
the charter, you are following the guide
of an error which is plainly apparent to
all men learned In tho law who have im
partially Investigated the question. It
your opposition results from an unwilling
ness to trust the present Incumbent with
any addltlonl powers or privileges, then I
respectfully submit that, however abun
dantly his unworthlness may justify the
apprehensions by which you are actuated,
your action constitutes a conspiracy
against the will of the people and the law
of the land. Finally I am sure that your
determination to continue the degradation
of the mapor's otllce of this city Is not sup
ported by any reason that cannot be anni
hilated In the light of patriotic and dis
passionate consideration.
Hut the plea of this communication. In
this behalf, only embraces one small
crumb of the lurgo loaf of recognition un
lawfully denied this office and, therefore,
I shall not at thin time ask of your hon
orable body any action not thus solicited.
I'tirsunnt to the advice of the chairman of
the police committee the chief of police
hns refused to execute certain orders of
the mayor having for their object the sup
pression and punishment of crime. Un
der ordinary circumstances such an act
of insubordination would furnish full war
rant for his Impeachment, but because of
the fuct that he surrendered to an influ
ence that has been for a long time al
lowed to govern his olllco, It would be un
just to hold him responsible for the of
fense. I know that he would cheerfully
render obedience to the orders of the
mayor If assured that it Is his duty to do
so, and I respectfully suggest that this as
surance bo given to him in an ordinance
commanding hira to give this recognition
to tho authority of the mayor. Supplied
with this and the other ordinance I have
recommended In this communication, all
opportunities for the unseemly and harm
ful contention to which I have directed
your attention would be removed und the
people served in tho executive depart
ments of our government by those whom
they choose for that purpose. Yours re
spectfully, F. M. Nichols, Mayor,
The second letter was as follows:
Wllkea-Barre, Pa., June 11, 1595. -City
Council:
Gentlemen I respectfully direct your at
tention to section nine of tho charter of
this city In which. Inter alia, it is pro
vided as follows: "All the ordinances,
etc., shall be published in one or more of
the newspapers of said city, and recorded
within thirty days after the passing there
of, in a book to be provided for that pur
pose by said corporation and to be kept by
the mayor; otherwise the samo shall not
be valid; nor shall any such ordinance,
etc., be enforced until It shall be so re
corded and published; and said book shall
be kept for the Inspection, without charge,
of nil persons Interested; and the said rec
ord shall be deemed and taken as suffi
cient evidence of the passing and publica
tion of all such ordinances, etc.
Tho requirement relating to the book
described and the custody thereof has
never been compiled with. In my opinion
It Is a wise provision and therefore ought
not to be longer disregarded. The mayor's
olilce is peculiarity the otllco of the people
and place where they naturally seek infor
mation concerning the laws and other leg
islation affecting the government of the
city and the rights and duties of its citi
zens. Furthermore, tho record contem
plated in the section referred to would
greatly reduce the labor and inconven
ience the public Is now compelled to un
dergo In the examination of ordinances.
The search in the book designated would
be relieved of the delay and confusion In
cident to the task of eliminating other
entries. If, however, none of these rea
sons In favor of the charter mandate ex
isted we could not refuse It obedience
without Jeopardizing the validity of all
our legislation. What asstirnnco have we
that the courts would not declare all or
dinances, illegal not entered In a book
speclully provided for that purpose and
committed to the custody of tho mayor?
These directions are among the condi
tions named as indispensable to their
validity, and hence it is indeed difficult to
understand how we enn Ignore them and
escape the result stated in the charter.
Hut it in unnecessary to argue the matter.
It is our duty to obey the organic law of
our municipality and I now recommend
to your honorable body the adoption of
an ordinance authorizing the procurement
of an ordinance book to be kept In the
mayor's office for the use of the public
and in which all ordinances shall be tran
scribed within the period of time specified
In the charter.

It Is given out that the Barring &
McSweeney detective agency, who ran
down the murderers of Barney Relck,
have presented the commissioners their
hill which they claim is due on the case.
There was a dispute over some of the
items, but finally the commissioners
are said to have accepted the bill as
fair, and Just. It Is also said that
County Treasurer Reed Is considering
Ule advisability of refusing to cash the
trder if presented. He does not claim
that there Is anything Illegal about the
bill, but there Is barely enough ready
money In the county treasury to meet
current expenses until the tax returns

Doufo the

ready money for extraordinary ex
penses might cmbarass the county
financially. The extravagance of the
commissioners in the court house mat
ter, and their suspected, although not
proven, collusion with ttie tricky west
tern architect, to despoil the county
treasury, has resulted in a revulsion ot
public feeling against them that should
the opportunity occur, will be made
manifest in a startling manner,
NORTON ON THE RACK.
The Commissioner Testifies Before Gen
eral Palincr-What UoSavs.
Commissioner P. T. Norton was
called yesterday morning before Gen
eral H. W. Palmer to refute the state
ments made by James M. Norrls on
Saturday about the new court house.
The testimony given by No-rls was
given while drunk, and Mr. Norton was
called ito explain what he had, to do
with Mr. Myers and the money he got
out of the county treasury. Mr. Nor
ton testified as follows: I have testi
fied before In thiB case. Was called by
the plaintiffs, Heard the evidence given
by James M. Norrla on Friday, June
7. I never received any money from
Myers or his eon or do I know of any
body else receiving any. Never heard
any Intimation that Norrls or anybody
else had received money until Norrls
testified on Friday. Norrls has been
chief clerk since I went into offlce,
Jan. 1, 1S94. Was clerk for preceding
board. I was also clerk under that
board. Mr. Norrls has had charge of
tiro minute book and papers showing
the proceedings of our board. He has
also taken an active pnrt In the bttsl
ne?s of the office and advised with the
commissioners. Norrls did not go with
thecommlsslonersonthelr trip; he went
with me. Our mission then, was to see
buildings, to find something to suit our
county. Norrls was taken along as an
assistant. In the negotiations between
Norrls and Myers, Norrls acted as chief
clerk. He had an Informal voice In
these matters whenever he was asked.
Mr. Norrls was intoxicated when he
was sworn. He has been on sprees from
time to time, but was retained as chief
clerk. We went for him on several oc
casions for drinking and he would then
go on another spree. Frequently
warned him.
When sober he was a good clerk.
Never dismissed him before. He Is
away at present, but his resignation is
noii'd on the minutes but Is not signed.
He Is not under salary. Don't know
what we will do with him when he re
turns. So far as I know, he Is honest
and trustworthy. When in his right
mind I would believe him under oath.
I don't know that he Is given to un
truth when intoxicated. Have no opin
ion of that.
Mr. Norton further said that when
he was examined before, he did not
know for certain whether it was the
first or the second J5.000 he saw drawn
from the bank, but now recollects It
was the first time. At the bank were
Tom Haines and1 George Heed, who saw
the money paid In cash. The negotia
tions to give Myers J20.000 were con
ducted . In the county commissioner's
prlvato office, before the commission
ers, Mr. Moore and Mr. Bedford. The
contract was submitted to Mr. Moore
and Mr. Bedford for advice aa to terms,
etc., before It was signed. It had been
re-written three or four times before it
was signed. There was no estimate of
the cost before the contract was signed,
but the commissioners figured on a
court house to cost $600,000.
At this point Mr. Farnham asked:
"Will you build a court house now?"
to which Mr. Norton said: "We will if
the people let us." Continuing his
testimony, Mr. Norton said the plans
we,re not submitted to the court but to
the Judges individually. Mr. Bedford
instructed Mr. Myers to cut down the
cost to $600,000. Mr. Norton said that
Mr. Norrls Is an unusually competent
clerk when sober, and the examination
closed.
