CITY COUNCIL MEETS
JUST TO ADJOURN
Mayor in Special Session Raised
Row Because He Wasn't
Consulted
CURFEW MEASURE NOW IN
Gorgas Says He Will Submit All
Names of Applicants For
Assessorship
City Council met attain this after
noon Just long enough for Mayor
Hoyal to gavel for order, declare
Council convened, announce that no
quorum was present, an-; that Council
therefore stood adjourned.
The procedure was agreed upon
yesterday by the City Commissioners
after tho special session. To-day is
the regularly scheduled councilmanic
meeting day but because the calendars
wore cleared yesterday, it wan con
sidered unnecessary to meet to-day
other than with a "broken quorum."
In addition to appointing Joseph P.
Thompson, captain of police, W. Mel
vin W. Kepford, A. L. Hagey, Victor
l-Arsen, George Shoemaker and J.
Fleming Hicks, patrolmen, Wllhelm J.
.'vlehrliig, Jr., police motor chauffeur,
vice Hiram Wagner, and Drs. William
V. Hughes and G. A. Zimmerman as
food inspectors, Council also elected E.
Bmce Taylor, formerly clerk to the
city solicitor, as Xlarrisburg's first as
sistant city solicitor.
So Men >fa y Go on Duty
The appointments of the policemen
were made by uiotion Instead of reso
lution yesterday. AB had been agreed
upon the weak before when the date
for yesterday's meeting was practically
fixed by Mayor Royal, the purpose of
the session was to clear up the matter
of appointments so that the new offi
cer* could start work If possible at
the beginning of the new fiscal year.
Appointment by resolution would have
meant that the confirmation would
have arbitrarily been held up by the
-Mayor for a week.
Aa was expected, anyway, Mayor
Royal wanted to know why the ap
pointments shouldn't lie over for a
week. He thought he ought to know
something of his appointees he said.
Three of the men had been on the
lorce and Mayor Royal had made a
number of speeches for their reten
tion; two of the others were among
the most efficient officers who ever
served the city under other mayors.
The remaining man, Hagey, wasn't
personally known to the Mayor and
Commissioner Bowman heartily
vouched for him.
Hagey Is Vouched For
"He's an engineer, a man who is a
thorough-going, honest, Industrious
citizen and a man whom I believe will
make Harrlsburg a very efficient offi
cer," said Mr. Bowman. "I've known
him a long time and can certainly
■vouch for him."
"What's the purpose in going about
this way Instead of by a resolution?"
demanded the Mayor of Commissioner
Taylor.
"Oh, there's nothing to it other than
it seemed to me that we could name
these men at once so they could go to
work immediately," responded Mr.
Taylor. Commissioners Taylor, Lynch
and Bowman, however, didn't insist
upon immediate action.

• officer and an assistant city assessor.
Both these officers are in the depart
ment of finance and accounts but to
date the regular recommendation of
men for the places has been success
fulls' side-stepped.
Commissioner Gorgas said he will
place before Council "all the names of
applicants as he doesn't know what
else to do about it."
Rumor has had it for some time
that this to too true, alas, too true.
Mayor Royal is said to be behind
Ge rge Liesmann for ths assistant city
assessorship while Mr. Gorgas thinks

True—Tliat's About All
"That's about all 1 can do," added
Mr. Gorgas.
"Aren't you going to recommend
[anybody?" asked Commissioner Tay
lor.
"Uni, well," returned the commis
sioner of finance, "I'll know for whom
I'll vote, and I presume you gentlemen
will do the same. I thought," and Mr.
Gorgas smiled benignly upon Council
collectively, "that perhaps you gentle
men might have a resolution prepar
ed."
"And so," again asked Mr. Taylor,
"your idea is to submit all the names
of applicants?"
"That I think," said Mr. Gorgas,
"will probably be the best thing to
do."
Tlie Curfew at lost
The curfew ordinance as prepared
by the Civic Club and offered by Mayor
Royal by request of Mrs. A. L. Martin,
chairman of the special committee,
was read for the first time. Following
Its introduction hearty endorsement of
its provisions were voiced in a letter
from the Rt. Rev. Mgr. M. M. Hassett,
rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and
in resolutions from the Civic Council
of Churches.
Unless it be the men who have uni
forms, Harrlsburg's new captain of
police and patrolmen, appointed and
confirmed by council yesterday will
not go on duty before April 15.
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, chief
of police, stated to-day that he has
several men off duty on account of
Illness and may have Patrolmen Lar
sen, Shoemaker and Hicks report for
duty this week. His plans which will
include a complete rearrangement of
the present schedule will not likely
go into effect until April 15.
