NOT AWAKE YET.
Councilmen Don't Realize That They
Have Been Stripped of Power.

The members of councils are slow IN
realizing that they have been shon of
Il great deal of their powers by The
''rippcr" bill. Councils exercised both
executive and legislative functions un-
der the third class city act, but they
can now exercise only purely legisla
tive powers.
The passage of II certain resolution
by select council on Thursday night is
perhaps the best evidence of the fact
that the majority of the councilmen
have not yet awakened to the full
meaning of the new order of things. \
resolution was adopted by select coun-
ell early last spring calling upon the
superintendent of police to furnish
council with II monthly report of all
absentations from duty on the part OF
any of the members of the force.
The Superintendent sent in one such
report and one such report only. Coun-
Gilman Cosgrove of the Fourteenth
ward introduced ii resolution at Thurs
day nights meeting calling upon the
superintendent 10 explain why he
failed to obey the original resolution.
The resolution was adopted without
any objection.
AS a matter of fact the council has
about as much supervision over the
superintendent OF police under the
ripper" bill as it has over Governor,
Stone. The superintendent of police is
under the supervision of the director
Of police safety and doesn't for Il
single moment have to obey any reso-
luton which council may pass.
IF the councils wish amy information
regarding municipal matters they can
get it by applying to the recorder hut
the superintendent of police cannot be
forced TO supply it.
