4 ALBANY, April 17.-Mayor Edison
Nade an argument to-day before the
on cities, Of tho Legislature,
En tAvor Of his bill clothing the mayor
with power to appoint chiefs Of de-
partments and commissioners, and
depriving the board of aldermen OF
the right to confirm nominations.
He said that the present system is de-
moraljzlng and dangerous to public
interests, because an agreement be.
tween the mayor and the present CON-
firming power must necessarily be
based upon compromise and conces.
sion. This has been the case for the
past ten or twelve years, and during
this period very few appointments
were made except such as were the
result OF politich combinations and
bargains such as demoralize the public
service and deteriorate tho character
OF public servants.
