Suit to Recover

County Clerk Mulcrevy yesterday
forwarded q coramu muEication to Mayor
Taylor announcing mis- refusal to COM
ply with the demand that he turn into
the city treasury the fees collected by
him in naturalization cases as he con-
tends that the money belongs 10 him
by virtue OF his appointment. as natur-
alization clerk by the federal govern
ment The mayor at once directed a
letter TO the supervisors requesting
that at the meeting on Monday they
pass a resolution authorizing City At
torney Long to bring suit against Null
crevy to recover the fees The mayor
takes the stand that NuIcrevy is a
-saiaried officer" and under the char
Ter must account 10 the city treasurer
for all moneys collected or received BY
him from any source MuIcrevy. on
the other hand. says that the congress
sional act relating 10 naturalization
gives him the right 70 keep the fees
for his own personal use
When the law became erective,- =
said Mulcreyy yesterday, Il was ad-
vised BY eminent counsel that 1 had
authority to act in naturalization mat
ters. and therefore established the de-
partment Of pensions and naturaliza-
ton in my Office and gave it my close
personal attention. I found that this
department was a great convenience to
the thousands Of pensioners who come
10 the Office 20 have their vouchers
verified and sworn 20; 1t also enables
thorsa nds OF our naturalized citizens
TO have their naturalization records
restored, said records having been de-
stroyed in the FIRE OF April, 1906.
The naturalization law provides
that certain fees shall be charged petit
TONERS for naturalization, etc. naif Of
said fees 10 be forwarded quarterly to
the secretary OF. commerce and labor
and the other half 10 be retained By
the clerk acting as the agent of the
federal government in naturalization
matters.
The fees received in these matters
are IN no way commensurate with the
services rendered. or the responsible
titles or liabilities imposed. but I have
discharged these duties on the advice
of the judges OF the court. who are
acting IN these matters, for the reason
that IL would give our residents who
are not citizens an opportunity TO file
e petition for naturalization.
- In reference 10 my authority to act
in naturalization matters. Mayor Tay-
lor and / agreed to submit the matter
TO Percy Y. Long, city attorney. Long
agreed TO give an opinion on the ques-
ton. but advised that the entire ques-
ton be submitted 70 the courts for ad-
judication, which procedure viii be fol-
lowed.
