NEED NOT CONSULT COUNCILS C ity Solicitors v l auaiuioui.lv Favor the Proposition nnd Will Stand Together to force It Through the l.cgittlHturr-The Convention Has About Completed Its Work and Will Adjourn Today ut Noon. Almost all the time of yesterday's session of the city solicitors convention was given ui to the consideration of the proposition to place third .class cities under civil service regulations. It met with unanimous favor and Mr. Stevens' ait with a few slight amend ments was adopted. The act provides that three com missioners, to be appointed by the mayor, and to Herve without pay, shall prepare rules adopted to carry out the purpose of the u'-t and supervise the administration of these rules. All city employes with the exception of the clerks in the city solicitor's, city con troller's and city treasurer's depart ments, chiefs of the Are and police de pnrtmetis and day laborers ure affected ly the rules. An applicant will pass an examination, and If successful will have his name plated on the list of eliglbles. When an appointing power wishes to fill a position It will request the commission to certify a certain number of ellgihles. say five or ten ac cording to seniority and from these he must select the appointee. MAYOR TO BK AHSOLirTE. It la proposed that In the event of the passage of this act the muyor, by sub sequent legislation, shnll he given ub olute power of appointment, by doing away with Uip present system of refer ring apiHilntmenls to select council for approval. It Is contended that It Is not fair to hold the mayor responsible for a police force, fire department or other employes of a city when he Is, as is often the case, powerless to make removals or appointments. With a civil service commission. It Is held, a city employe would not need the protection of couml, the com mission being sufficient in itself to hold in chock a muyor who might have arbitrary proclivities. This act wUh the other new meas ures are yet far from being realities. They must first pass the gauntlet of the municipal conventon to behcia at Williamsport next Tuesday and then the legislature, which convenes January 1. 187. The solicitors have carefully weighed every matter they have passed upon and It Is their de termination to stand together to pre vent any disturbance of their plans at the municipal convention and then to appoint a lobbying committee to Pee that their Ideas are not defeated by the legislators. WILL BE COMPLETED TO-DAY. Their present task will be completed by noon to-day It Is expected. A sub committee will be appointed to put the new legislation In presentable shape and a spokesman will be selected to place It before the Williamsport con vention. Owing to the fact that their duties .were so onerous the solicitors could not avail themselves of the op portunity to be entertained to any extent during their stay. A drive about the central part of the city yes terday afternoon comprised their only recreation. ASSAULTED JOHN RUSH. Trouble the Outgrowth ol' the Recent Polish Libel Cases.
