SEE MAYOR MOY SCHEME
IN ASSEMBL BILL.

PLAINFIELD, April 2o.-An attempt
10 end the unfriendliness existing be-
tween the Common Council and Mayor
Moy by shearing the council of some
of It's powers is seen by political WISE
acres here in the introduction by AS

Assembly recently. The bill provides
that mayors of second-class cities
shall appoint. without confirmation by
the council. all city officials not elected.
a number of appointments made by
Mayor Mcy have failed to obtain the
councils confirmation. which is now
necessary.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
by the failure of the mayors appoint
ments to go through, and among his
opponents there are some seeking
legislation which would bestow the APP
pointing power on the council alone.

faction viii score this year. as the
