CITY AS A COAL DEALER.
story of the Operations of Detroit
Emergency Coal Yard.


Emergency Coal Yard.
Detroit Free Press.
There was presented to the Municipal
Coal commission yesterday the final chap
ter of that thrilling romance by the Hon.
William c. Maybury. entitled The Fooled
Octopus. or Bituminous Birs Revenge"
Lest preceding chapters may have been for
gotten, 1t may be worth while to rehearse
them. Some time during the cold winter
months the mayor discovered that
gang OF hardened scoundrels engaged
In the coal business were selling fuel at
profit instead of giving II away. Some Of
the more despicAble and desperate Of these
wretches refused to sell anthracite
GOAL at all, brazenly alleging that they
had none and could obtain none at prices
which their customers could AFFORD to pay
Inasmuch as they persisted in their career
of violence and crime, the mayor organ
lied a municipal coal commission to purvey
anthracite coal in unlimited and proftless
quantities to rich and poor alike.
Unfortunately, the plutocratic east
persisted in taking most OF the anthracite
coal that was mined, and the commission
was unable to purchase any. but not to be
foiled by the criminals who had found
their way into the business Of selling coal
in Detroit, the mayor borrowed money
from various sources and established the
municipal commission in business BY sell
ing coal at cost and having no incidental
expenses to pay the commission was able
to cut so cents ton under the regular
retail rate, which was convincing proof
to the mayor and his associates that the
local coal dealers had managed to keep
out of the penitentiary only by reason of
the irremediable blindness of Justice And
so the commission continued it's noble
work of relieving all cases of distress where
the distress could pay in advance and was
desirous of saving so cents a ton. The
philanthropy was so popular that the
question Of creating a permanent commits
sion was seriously discussed and often
persons stared steadily toward the east
and could see the millennium hiking over
Belle Isle bridge.
But now for the final chapter The report
of the commissions secretary shows that
there is a net deficit OF S1,O72,7e The COM
mission bought 1881 tons OF coal and sold
3,4S1. The other 400 tons disappeared that
is nearly II per cent of the coal purchased
was lost in distribution. With no interest
charges to pay, with no dividends to pay,
with no taxes to pay, with the clerical
hire paid for by the city, and nothing to
allow for depreciation, the commission sue
ceeded in selling coal a few cents a ton
below the price charged by the local
dealers. and earned a deficit OF per cent
on the investment. Eow the taxpayers
will probably be requested to provide
enough money to balance the books, and
the city government will have acquired
another $1,000 worth OF experience in the
advantages of minding its own business

The MAYOR,S CABINET.

In an interview concerning the coun-
cilmanic deadlock over the confirmation
of his appointments Mayor Moores is
quoted as saying:
My appointments have not been ques-
toned heretofore, either three years ago
or six years ago. What a foolish propo-
sttion 1t would be II a majority of the
senators were to say to the president:
Teddy, you can't name your cabinet un-
less we select the names" 1t is the same
here, in a measure These appointees con-
stitute my cabinet and should have the
right to name them.
Mayor Moores entertains some very
queer notions about what he is pleased
to call his cabinet Think of the pound
master, the weighmaster, market In
spector, elevator men and janitors being
reckoned as members of the mayors
cabinet
But, turning from the ridiculous to
the sublime, the mayors comparisons
between presidential cabinets and
mayoralty cabinets, and between presi-
dents and the senate and mayors and
councilmen, are not supported by historic
facts. Presidents do consult senators,
or at least the leaders of the dominant
majority in the senate, with regard to
the choice of cabinet officers and their
confirmation is not a mere matter of
form any more than is the confirmation
Of other presidential appointments.
Real cabinet officers nominated in de-
fiance of pronounced opposition of the
senate have been turned down by the
senate or held up in committees until
their names were withdrawn.
What would be the object Of requiring
confirmation of presidential appoint
ments If the action of the body required
to pass in judgment upon the choice of
the executive was a mere matter of
form? If presidents are expected and
obliged to consult the wishes of senators
in making appointments, why shouldn't
the mayor also consult the wishes of
the councilmen, who are equally re-
sponsible with him for appointments
subject to confirmation? Why should
Mayor Moores pursue a different line OF
policy at the opening of his third term
than he pursued in the beginning Of his
first term? Then he did consult the
council and went so far even as to ap-
point three or four personal enemies to
the most important cabinet positions,
including Charles Unit as boiler in
spector and John Butler as building in.
spector.
There is certainly nothing unreason-
able or humiliating for the mayor to
consult with and accord recognition to
the council in the selection of his so
called municipal cabinet" and the other
minor appointments subject to confrma
ton. After ALL the mayor and council
are only public servants clothed with
limited powers to administer the affairs
of the municipality and are expected tC
pull together and not pull apart, not
only in matters of general policy, but iI
appointments as well.
