NO one makes any attempt to explain
how the Judge will justify to E. E. c.

he would not accept it. Judge Werts
has the respect of the Court House

THOSE DISMISSED CLERKS.

Mays or Wanser Hints at Ulteri or Reasons
for the Reduction-May ay Hinder Work.
Mayor Wanser is not much pleased
with the action of the City Financiers
yesterday in ousting Clerks Harry SHal-
sey, Steve Egan and George Bellamy from
their positions in the City Collectors
Office. He said this morning that re-
duction in the City Collectors clerical
force was not anticipated before the be-
ginning of the fiscal year, and intimated
that it was done to make up for moneys
that had been wrongly paid out for sala-
ries to useless clerks. He refused to dis
cnsS the matter at present, but said he
would have something to say later on.
City Collector O'Nelll declares that his
office will be crippled. Two of the four
bill clerks who are kept constantly busy
waiting upon people and making out
bills must take the place of the cancel
ling and entry clerks who have been dis
charged.
Halsey and Egan were valuable clerks,
and in view of he fact that property is
assessed now by the new aldermanic
lines, new men cannot immediately take
hold of the books of taxes in ar
rears and properly facilitate the
work of It's officials. The
Martin act put six times the amount of
work into the office than was to be per-
formed before it passed, and the clerks
have now to search through books nine

Why May or Wanser Put His Foot Into
Brown Place.

Why May or Wanser Put His Foot Into
Brown Place.
Mayor Wanser yesterday sent volum-
inous commune alton to the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners on the
matter of declaring Brown place public
street.
The Street and Water Commissioners,
acting upon advice from Corporation
Counsel Edwards, have taken precaution
to protect the city's interests at this point.
no matter what course the railroad COM
pan1es NAV pursue.
The Mayor, in his communication, cites
resolution passed bv the Board sub
sequent to the passage of a resolution
declaring Brown place public street
upon the petition of Henry Lem
beck and others. Mayor Cleve-
land vetoed the latter reso-
luton because the action was
premature and would involve
the immediate expenditure of a sum of
money for which the city would not de-
rive any benefit for many years. This
placed the Street and Water Commission
ers on record as being in favor of Brown
at any time it would benefit
the CITY. Subsequently permission
was granted to the Lehlgh
halfway OOulpUh w
construct bridge across Brown place,
using spans twenty feet apart. giving n
clearing of fifteen feet to the crown of
the sewer. Protectory provisions were
inserted in The resolution and the com
pany can do nothing without the full
consent of the city.
A few weeks ago the Street and Water
Commissioners passed resolution max
ing it compulsory for the Lehigh Valley
Terminal Company to submit TO
the Board plan of the
proposed bridge. This resolution
was designed to check the
company in its work if the bridge would
in any way tend to deprectate the value
OF the 80 foot strip of land held by the
city.
After the Street and Water Commits
sloners have taken all these precautions,
Mayor Wanser desires to step in and
share the credit of thus protect
ing the city's interests by urging
the passage of a resolution again declar-
ing Brown place public street. He in
sists that the proper time to
check railroad eucroachment is in
the initial stages. In conclusion,
he alluded to the great value of the
strip in future for public docks ana
other purposes. The Street and Water
Commissioners will take action upon the
Mayors suggestions in few weeks.
