Mr. Morris, of tho Eighteenth Ward, Is Tired of Lookiug lor tho Muni cipal Heads of Departments and of Hearing Citizens Complain in a Similar Strain, and Proposes to Havo tho City's Generously Paid Servants Devote Some of Their Time to tho City's Business. If such 11 thing can be brought about through legislation, the heads of de partments of the it government will ere long have olllce hours prescribed for them and they will bo compelled to be In their olllces during those hours or show 11 good and sufllclent reason for not belni: there. At leant so declares Councilman Mor ris, the Eighteenth's aggressive young representative In the lower branch. Mr. Morris Is n bricklayer by trade. The prefent Inclement weather pre vents him following his dally occupa tion unci for several weeks past he ban spent a good part of his enforced leis ure about the city hall, with the laud able desire of Improving his knowledge of municipal nffnlrs, that he may tho better serve his constituents and hl3 city. In hlr. visits to the various olllces he could not help but note the large num ber of person who dally make futile attempts) to see city officials. A DAILY orCUHURNCK. "Is tho In?" "Just stepped out." "How soon do you expect he will be back?" "Can't say positively, but I hardly expect him back today. Anything I can do for you?" "Well, 1 don't know. I wanted to see h'm about that matter of so and so can you attend lo It Just, as well?" "No, I'd rather you would see the hlmsvif about that, tie always has to be consulted In those matters." "Very well. Ill call again. What time will he be In tomorrow?" "Why, generally, lie Is here at 9 o'clock. I'll tell him you called." And then tho next day. "Is the In?" "The lias just stepped out. Oh, yes, you Were here yesterday. If you weie here two minutes sooner you would liuve caught him. You mav be able to find him at hip " fstore, olllce, home, hotel, or whatever the case may be). Conversations like this between citi zens who come to transact business with their liberally paid servants, and deputies, clerk.', secretaries or othr underlings who are doing their own and their chief's work, or such por tions of it as they care to or are capa ble of, have been listened to time and again by Mr. Morris and they have sot him to thinkinir. One conclusion at which he has ar- j rived is that the thing is radically wrong. Another result of his cogita tion is a determination to right that wrong. SAUCK FOP, TIfK nOOSIS, ETC. Recently councils passed a resolution directing the tecretary to the chief or police to put in so many hours per day at his office. If this can ho dono in the case of one city official it is not unreasonable to suppose that Ii can be done In every case, Mr. Morris reasons. There Is no question in his mind but that the city officials, with rare ex ceptions, are not devoting to the city's business, the time, labor and general interest that would be anything like commensuratj with what they aie re ceiving in salary. They take it for granted it is notorious too that a city olllce is a pcsltlon entailing only a superficial supervision of the depart mental woik and the poekellnc of the' difference between the salary and what It costs to run the office by proxy. Mr. Morris said yesterday in con cluding the conversation in which he vented the above. "I do not want to pose as a reform er. Neither am I seeking any cheap notoriety. I simply feel that the may or has authority to compel the heads of departments to do their full duty and that I would be grievously dere lict In my duty to the taxpayers r this city if I ignored the duty that my observations point out to me." SCOPE OF THE RESOI.FTION. Mr. Monis' resolution will call atten tion to the act of assembly giving the mayor power to supervise l be conduct, of city ofllclals. and direct him to take the necessary measures to remove this constant cause of complaint. If the law In the case will permit Mr. Morris will go farther aud designate certain hours, at least six a day, during which the heads of departments shall be at their respective olllces. The recent public utterance of one city olllclal lo tho cficet that he at tended to the affairs of his depart ment often times to the nesleot of his private business Is opportune In this connection.

They then reported the matter to Agent Knnpp, of the Society for tho Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals, and Man ning was shortly afterwards arrested and taken before Alderman Knsson. Mr. Manning waived a hearing and en tered ball In the sum of $f.00 for his nppearance at court. Mr. Manning was accompanied by his two brothers', both attorneys, one of Susquehanna, the other of this city. Attorney Manning, of Susqtiehannn, wns hlglilv Indignant and upbraided the alderman, the society's agent, and Mr. Keinmeror, a member of the soci ety. He also at llrst refused to allow his brother to remove the team from the livery, demanding that tho patrol man should bring the horses to where he go them. He stated that lie and his brothers wero holding an Important consultation and were longer than they expfcted to be. REMINDER OF KLONDIKE.
