.MAYOR TRIFLE BITTER
* OVER COUNCIL ACTION
[Continued from First Page.]
resolution directing the superinten
dents of streets, parks and public
safety to proceed at once with the im
portant public improvement work they
had planned, in crder to provide work
for the hundreds of the city's unem
ployed.
No Suggestion For Solution
No suggestion as to how Superin
tendents Bowman, Lynch and Taylor—
the departmental heads affected—
could provide the work or the money
was made. Commissioner Lynch de
clared that contractors couldn't work
In the cold weather, and that it was
impossible to expect them to go ahead
unless the city provided money for a
"force account"—the extra sum which
would be added to compensate the
men whom the contractors could take
on at the city's suggestion. This would
require a change in the specifications
however, according to Mr. Lynch, so
that immediate assistance would not
be forthcoming at any rate. Council
agreed the work is needed for hun
dreds of men in Harrisburg and asked
THURSDAY EVENING.
Mayor Royal to suggest some plan for
action. The Mayor had none. So the
Mayor's resolution was laid over until
yesterday afternoon when it v.'as pass
ed unanimously.
And yesterday Mr. Lynch offered
what will probably go down in city
history as the Royal buncombe resolu
tion. This directed the Mayor either
to suggest a way to-provide the work
or to admit that his own resolution
was simply "political buncombe."
Hence the astonished chairman's rul
ing:
Mayor Rules Out Resolution
"I declare the resolution out of or
der," he stated, "on the ground that
the superintendents of public affairs
and finance, the autTiors of the meas
ure of yesterday, are not acquainted
with the work of the heads of the
other three departments."
For half an hour the same question
that started such general discussion
Tuesday were retlireshed out again—
the Mayor endeavoring to show that he
really knew what he was talking about,
Commissioners Lynch, Bowman and
Taylor carefully showing him that he
didn't.
The Mayor angrily declared that he
wasn't guilty of "political buncombe"
but that if anybody was, It was the
fnajorlty councilinen. lie insisted that
he liad offered his own measure in
absolutely good faith, actuated solely
by the desire to provide work for the
unemployed. He said he believed the
city could readily spend the additional
money that might be necessary in or
der to Ktart work at once and the
money would be "well spent."
Find Way If Money Were Available
"Well," said Mr. Lynch, "we've
started, all of us want to do all we can
to help. I think every department has
gone to the limit to provide work this
year. Hut we can't go ahead in this
cold weather. You've suggested that
some way be devised; now you sug
gest the way. You provide the money."
Mayor Royal: "Why you've got the
money. Something like sixty thousand
dollars for sewers."
Mr. Lynch: "You're right, we've got
the money—and we've got to spend it
legally. That's what we're going to
do."
Messrs. Lynch and Taylor both re
minded the Mayor that he had evi
dently been making another play for
publicity, that, without consulting the
departments affected, he had gone
ahead with the preparation of his reso
lution. "In five minutes you could
have called all of us togethei* and we
could have talked it over, nut you
didn't propose to do fhat,"declared
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf
Mr. Lynch. "Talk of jilaying poli
tics! You're defending that action."
The superintendent of streets added
that he didn't propose to start any
work in cold weather unless council
ordered it.
Did Try Cold Weather Work
"Couldn't you try it?" the Mayor
asked.
"We did try it—are now trying It—
with sewer construction in Seventeenth
street," promptly returned Mr. Lynch.
"And the contractor has had to quit."
"That's equally true of the new en
trance and roadway to Reservoir ob
served Mr. Taylor.
"Well," expostulated the Mayor, "If
you didn't think my resolution was
a good one why didn't you vote it
down?"
"Why T didn't say the suggestion
wasn't right," replied Mr. Taylor, "I
only asked for a feasible plan."
"That's what we want to get at,"
cut In Mr. Lynch, "a feasible plan."
The Mayor: "Then suggest some
plan."
The Reason For late Work
Mr. Lynch: "I want to say that
every department went the limit this
year in taking on men. You started
this, it's up to you now to come across
with the plan. Do you know of any
body starting this work in this cold
weather. That is unless they failed to
linish their contracts in required time
and are now bnly working because
they are penalized for every day over
time and each day's delay means
money to them. That's true of the
construction of that new building at
Tenth and Market streets. The job
was to have been done by January 1. '
"You give us $5,000 or SIO,OOO and
we'll take care of the work and pro
vide employment."
"But you've got plenty of money."
Fur the City's Host Interests
"Yes," quickly returned Mr. Lynch,
"I have —and I'm going to spend it for
the best interests of the city, too."
The Mayor declared that Mr. Lynch
had made no request for additional
money the previous day. "Why cer
tainly I did," replied Mr. Lynch.
"Perhaps," addeed the superinten
dent of streets, "I didn't specify the
amount, but I said 'force account.' "
The Mayor declared that he wasn't
familiar with the work of the other
departments on the Improvement jobs.
"Why," said he, "what do I know
about your contracts?"
"Why you've voted to approve every
one of them," returned Mr. Lynch,
"that. Mayor, is a matter of record."
Then Mr. Lynch appealed from the
chair's decision on declaring his resb-
FEBRUARY 11, 1915.
Ilution. Mayor Royal again ruled on
I the resolution:
Vnollicr itrasnu
"I ruled it out," said ho because it is
(not germaine to the question and.re-*
I fleets upon the members of council."
Messrs. Bowman, Lynch and Taylor
voted to sustain the appeal and when
the question on the Lynch resolution
was called for, the Royal buncombe
measure became a part of the city
record by a vote of 3 to 2.
Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and
Taylor voted "aye."
Commissioners Gorgas and Royal
voted "no."
