PITTSBURGH, Pa. Jan. 2,-The leg
lsIptlve committee appointed to inves,i-
gate the municipal Offices arrived In
Pittsburgh from Philadelphia this
mornig and began the 'le&owing" OF
this city ut o'clock this afternoon.
The investigation will start with-thr
department OF public works and VIII be
followed by an examination OF the OF
tlcGrs OF the mayors office, department
OF public safety, bureau of police and
other departments.
Senator Grady. a member OF the COM
mlttee. says 1t Is the Intention to visit
New York, Chicago and other large cit
les to compare the management OF mll-
nlcipal Offices In these places with Phil
hdelphb1.
The programme OF proceedings was
changed somewhat and Mt . o'clock the
committee, instead Of commencing OPP
eHations with the department OF public
safety, began by calling Controller
Gourley 20 the stand.
Mr. Gourley, after answering some
routine questions. went Into brief de-
scrIptIon of the methods In vogue TOT
the election OF heads Of departments.
They were entirely subject to councils
elected by the outgoing body. and tho
mayor has practically no power, not
even 10 advise them In their line OF
duty. He thought the departments had
considerable political influence. Heads
OF departments should be elected by the
people or appointed by the mayor.
As an Instance OF the impotency OF the
mayor, he cited the case when he him
self was mayor, and issued an order at
the request OF many citizens to close the
disorderly houses 1t was cOuntermand-
ed and never accomplished. As rca-
son for this. the chief OF the depart
ment OF public safety, ]. o. Brown, the
present incumbent, said he thought his
plan OF regulation" was better than
attempted obliteratlon. AS to gamb.
ling and illegal liquor selling, MIR. Gour-
ley thought the city freer OF these evils
now than ever before and gave Chief
Brown the credit for their suppression.
Municipal contracts, he said, We're as

not always. Contracts often go to the

on the subject Of electric lighting. Mr..
Gourley said arc lamps in Pittsburgh
cost 500 each, in Allegheny $50 each, but
Allegheny has Its own plant. In this
city there was only one bid for electric
lighting. and the contract was lot four
years ahead.

FOR LOWER WHARFAGE.
Eiyermen Anxious for the Movement TO

Der OF commerce appointed a commit
toe, of which Mr.. n. B. Scott is chair
man, for the purpose OF conferrinE win
the CITY council committee on wharVes
and with thecouncil In an effort TO
secure the lower rates OF wharfage
here. La, evening Mr.. Scott said that
he had not determined when he would
call the committee together, on account
Of press OF other business. However, the
movement will be put on foot soon ana
there Is n general sentiment IN IT'S Ia
vor, especially among the business peo-
pie. az,
new Virginia, the IntelliGcncer repre-
sentative made 1t a point TO learn the
rates OF Wharfage that are charged al
,he more important towns between Gin
clnnatl and Pittsburgh. The claim
made by the rivermcn that the rates at
wheeling are much higher than at any
other port, was verified. Here Is the
story in a nutshell. the figure quoted
being for round trip:
Cincinnati. 81 so; Portsmouth, 81: Hun
tinGton, 81 so: Galliphlis, 81; Middle
port 81; Parkersburg, Sc so: Marietta,
81 90: Ravenswood. 30 cents; Wheeling,
81 80: Pittsburgh. Sc 90.

being transacted to-day. which II Is
not Still. II one boat should be taking
out $1,000 kegs OF nails year and glass
ware and pottery in proportion as the
Hudson did once. the steamboatmen
would not feel disposed to kick. But as
the Nall City is in fact as in name. but
a myth. II is no wonder that good
hearty kick is being made. Rivermen
hope that they shall obtain speedy re-
lief and desire that the rates shall at
least be cut in two.

address In the same tenor as the reso-
luton. and which cited many Of the In
