wouldn't be advisab BILE for him TO marry
any pairs Of lovers while he is temporarily
holding down Mayor Mark M. Fagan's

Of the extensive free advertising Of his Offer

County Attorney John j. Mulvane said
his Interpretation Of the law led him to
believe that an acting Mayors functions
were limited to municipal matters only.
Ex-President Anthony j. Brock OF the Board
Of Aldermen. whom Mccarthy succeeded.
explained that he inya ably refused to
~oficiate at City Hall weddings when he
wal acting Mayor, because he could find
nothing In the law which warranted him in
acting as a ma frying ms Magistrate.
The action Of the reformers press agents
in describing the acting Mayor as a young
man who was dreadfully anxious to find
his affinity set many clerical pens at work
on letters to his Honor. Clerks in all the
city departments neglected their duties and
ground out reams Of sentimental stuff in
disguised feminine handwriting. They
described the charms Of supposed love-
sick females and begged the privilege of
early interviews. Mccarthy got a bunch
of mail yesterday. Some Of the letters
made him feel foolish. Others amused
him. All were consigned to the ~mayoralty
