RECORDER'S
APPOINTEES
WILL NOT BE NAMED UNTIL
APRIL 1, HE SAYS.
Stated That Thete Is No Doubt but
That Appointed Heads of Depatt
meiits Can Remove All Subotdl
nate Ofuceis Now Employed by the
City Cleik Lynott Does Not Wont
to Loso His Job City Assesois Say
They Should Be Paid Moie Than
S1.000 a Year.
ltec oider James Molr stated yester
day afternoon to 11 Tilbtino man that
he would not make public aiiiiciunce
ni'Mit of the names of the eighteen ofll
eials whom he Is iMnpoweicd by the
"ilpper" bill to nppolnt until Just beforn
they ate to assume olllce on Apill 1.
Ills new pilMite sect etui y. In1 said,
he would appoint next week.
"There has been 11 great deal ot ells
Mission," said he, "as to whether tho
vat lous silborcllnate employes of the
several cvlstlug city departments can
be 1 emo ved from ofllco after wo ro
ot gnnlzc under the "lippei" bill. 1
don't think there need bo any discus
sion on that point. The net Is vety
explicit," and. so saying, his honor
turned to section 2 of tho schedule
attached to the bill. This reads as fol
lows. "Said leeouleis may appoint the sue
cessois of tho vnilous heads of de
partment whom he may remove, as
provided In section 1 of this schedule,
and tho olllchils so appointed shall
have power and arc lieicby nuthoilzcd
to lemovo any aivl nil of the olilcers
and employes and persons holding po
sitions and employment In their re
spective dopat fluents and appoint their
successors, and the persons so appoint
ed shall ho governed by this act"
THH ONLY INTT.nPUlTrATlON.
"The only Intorptctntlou of that sec
tion possible," said the recorder, "Is
that all suboidliiatc employes can be
leinoved without ciuesllon. It means
that the dlteclor of public safety can
leniove If ho sees lit eveiy policeman
and eveiy llreman and appoint their
successots. The policemen and llic
men who will bo lolalned will. In my
Judgment, have to bo all ro-uppoliUeel,
as well as all other oillcials who It
may bo decided not to remove."
It came to light ycslciday thnt tin
rp-oiganlzatlon otdlnanco Introduced
on Thursday evening does not create
tho olllces of pollc maglstiales nor
provide any districts over which they
shall picside. The "ilppet" bill pio
vides for live police magistrates to bo
appointed by the lccouler. In older
to concct this fault a sepaiate oulln
anco establishing live districts, cteat
Ing the olllce of police niagistiatcs and
llxlng tho salary will be piopaiod by
Attorney II. S. Ahvorth, common cotin
cllmaii fiom the Second ward, and In
trudiicod next Thuisday night.
Clerk of tho Common Council W. A.
Lynott difs not like the Idea of being
legislated out of olllce by tin io-oigan-Izatlon
ordinance and will uinko 'a
fight to have; that section of the bill
providing for the abolition of bis oftlce
killed In common council. He Is a
Democrat und a candidate for ic-elec-tlon.
The Democrats conttol tho com
mon council and he Is coulldent that
he has friends enough to successfully
kill that section of the measuic.
THH ASSUSSOP.S COMPLAIN.
Tho members of the pi event board of
city assessors maintain that the com
pensation of $1,000 each llxeel by tho
general re-oiganlzntlou (ndlnuuco Is
entirely too small. City Assessor PhlU
lp A. Itinsland. In an inteiview with n
Tilbiine man yosteiday. paid upon the
subject:
"It-Is ne'lthor fair 01 Just to ilx tho
salary of the live ussessois who aie
td be soon appointed at $1,000 u year.
The membeis of the ptesent boaid of
assessors iceelvo that much compen
sation and their work Is almost. 011
tliely of a supervlsoiy iintuio,
"Tho members of tho now tumid
of assessois will hao to lo th actual
woik of making the assessment them
selves. At piescnt this Is clone by tho
wurd assessoui and the sum of $1,000
a year Is nppioprlateel for the puiposo
of paying thus; latter lit ndelltlou to
the Jo',000 for the salaiy of the tlueo
assessors. Not only will tho now as
sessors have to nuiko the assessment,
but they will also have to hear appeals
from It, a work now dona by tho mem
beis of llu bo.iul of levlsloit of tuvs
and appeals, a boa id which Is abol
ished In cities of the second iluss.
"The total appioprlatlou for tho as
sessors depat tment for the present fis
cal year was $0,050, while tin appro
pilatlon tor the board of levlsion and
appeal was $.',501. making u total of
SS.Or.l. or neatly $0,0(i0. In tho face of
this it Is pioposed to now appropriate
only V,000 for the making of the as
sessment, wheie almost twlcs that sum
has been appropriated In tho past for
the same work.
"Tho nsses.soi.s should be paid at the
1 ate ot at least $1,.'.00 n yeai. and coun
cils should s3o to It that this flguie Is
provided for In the nppiopil.itlun 01
