Be neath the enthusiasm with which the average spectator views the great con crete lies amazement and even disgust at the conglomeration of coal steamers and send fleets moored in rows and rows around the Market street gap. The stretch is to be closed in the near MANY CHANGES FOR THIRD CLASS CITIES [Continued from First Page.] ► 1 lishes new provisions affecting; the mu nicipal officers and employes. Tax Assessments Hereafter when two or more town ships or boroiHfhs are consolidated into a third class city the bonds and float ing indebtedness in each contracted prior to the consolidation shall he assumed as a joint indebtedness and the taxes for liquidation of the debt shall be uniform throughout the City. Moreover, all additions to third class cities shall be liable for the bonded and floating indebtedness thereon of both the annexed territory and the city, under a uniform tax assessment system. Another amendment provides that funds accruinK from the mercantile license tax shall be "in addition to all other taxes levied and collected by the city, county or commonwealth," the proceeds being devoted to "general revenue purposes." Still another amendment exempts city bond issues from all state and local taxation. Quadrennial Elections The Walton measure stipulates that the mayor shall serve for four and shall be ineligible to succeed himself. Councllnien shall also be elected quadrennially. The ratlin bill mentioned permits the re-election of mayors. At the first municipal election held after the passage of the act electors of third class cities shall elect four mem bers to the city council, to serve four year terms, datingfrom the first Mon day in the following January after the election. Elections shall occur every fourth year thereafter. Coun ciiinen and mayors now in office shall serve out their terms. The Catlin bill, also enacted and approved this session, provides that mayoralty and councilmanic candi dates who receive 51 per cent, of the vote in the primaries shall be consid ered elected. New Powers for Councils Additional authority was vested in HARRISBTXRG TELEGRAPH future .by the construction of the line of steps across the opening—an im provement made possible by Council by permitting the Harrisburg Light and Power Company to erect a coal wharf on the island. Until the, island landing is completed, however, the electric company, the chief handler of coal fleets, has to unload its coal tem porarily at a wharf constructed for the purpose in the gap In the wall. The etching shows precisely the con- the councils so that they now have power to — Provide for the trimming and care of shade trees. Order the police to arrest suspicious persons during any public gathering, such as at a circus, during a big holi day celebration, etc. To construct and maintain public bathhouses and boathouses. To maintain municipal milk depots. To purchase playgrounds and levy special taxes for upkeep. To regulate and control the pro duction and emission of smoke from any chimney, locomotive, smokestack or other source. To make the assessment for street improvements entirely upon property abutting the improved highway, thus saving the city's money. However, one amendment provides that the city council shall not "make lows inconsistent with the Consti tution" of Pennsylvania. It was fur ther provided that the action of the city council, after ten days, shall be final and conclusive, notwithstanding any Initiative or referendum petitions regarding any act or ordinance after that time. Thus such petitions will have to be served quickly if the elec torate is not satisfied with the coun cil's conduct. The law governing the action of councils on bills was amended so as to allow that body to pass any measure upon the day it is reported (from com mittee) if three days have intervened since its presentation. Polh-e That section of the Clark act re lating to the police was amended so that hereafter -extra meti appointed or authorized by the city council shall be under the jurisdiction of the chief of police and not the council. The provision requiring the mayor to re move any policeman from office upon a resolution being adopted to that ef fect by the council, was amended to permit the mayor to suspend any po liceman, against which there might be strong criticism, while the council has time to consider the advisability or or dering his dismissal. The Major Authority was given the mayor to commit vagrants or disorderly per sons to jail for ninety days. Former ly he had power to sentence them for a thirty day term. Hereafter the mayor shall sign all ordinances immediately ' after their passage, in the presence of the city clerk, who shall attest them. The mayor's annual January re port to the council, setting forth the conditions of the city's affair, with suggestions for improvement, is abol ished. The mayor can make his sug gestions any time. Board of Health The council was also given power to appoint the officers and members of the board of health. That section of the law which made the city clerk ex-officio secretary of the board of health was repealed. Superintendent of Finance The time for the submission of the superintendent of finance's annual re port to the council, containing sugges tions for management and improve ment of the city finances, was changed from January to December. At this time he shall also present a detailed statement showing the receipts and expenditures of the various depart ments. City Controller Wherever the term of the city con troller expires on the first Monday in December, 1915, the electors shall choose a controller to serve for four years, beginning the first Monday in January following the election. In cities where the controller was elected in 1913, the electors shall choose a controller in 1917, and every four years thereafter. The duties and pow ers of the controllers were greatly enlarged. He shall henceforth exam ine. audit and generally keep an eye on all departments which collect, re ceive or disburse money or have cus tody thereof. Other Amendments Hereafter, when property owners have taken legal action against street Improvements, which are later drop ped or sidetracked, the city shall pay the fees for the attorney hired by the property owners. Before adding to duplicates in the hands of the city treasurer any sub ject of taxation or before making any corrections of an error, hereafter the assessor must obtain the approval of the board of revision and appeals. The state and length of office ten ure of tho city engineer was changed from the first Monday in January to j the first Monday in May, and from i two years to four years, effective In j 191 ft, the council making the selec- j tioa. J ditions at most any time when the fleets are moored to discharge their cargoes. What is true now would be equally true, only on a more exagge rated scale, if the gap were not perma nently closed to traffic of this charac ter. When the electric company, which maintains the largest fleets, opens its wharf on the island the smaller coal companies will be re quired to dispose of their cargoes at Verbeke and Paxton street wharves.
