SNYDER TO END
OVERLAPPING
Directs a Conference Between
State Officials and State
College Officers

Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
to-day said he expected in short
time to have a conference between
officials of the Department of Agri-
culture and State College with re-
gard to efforts to prevent duplication
of work. MY information is that
State College and the department are
overlapping, especially in work which
is being handled by the State Zoolo-
gist's force. and 1 will use what eff
fcrts l can to prevent it," said he.
'I have asked Senator C. ]. Buck
man, chairman of the Senate Appro-
rriations Committee. to arrange for
a meeting at my office to talk over
the situation and endeavor to reach
an agreement. At any rate, things
can not go on as they have been
doing"
Mr.. Snyder was not ready to-day
to discuss the results of investiga-
tions which he had launched some
time ago into expenditures of gov
ernment, methods of corporations in
making tax returns and other details
of his office. THE reports on these
inquiries are not prepared, but I
look for them soon. They are of a
serious nature and until l get facts
/ can not comment" said he.
Are they governmental expend-
itures?" was asked.
Yes; they are corporation. too.
In fact, there are a number of
lines" Mr.. Snyder replied.
The Auditor General took a parting
shot at the State Administration by
saying that mo increases of pay
granted during a primary fight are
going to be paid. You can depend
on that"

great deal of interest is shown
by borough taXpayFs in a move to
make Steelton a third class city CON
trolled by municipal government.
Several prominent residents and tax
payers are supporting the move and
are anxious to do away with the in
adequate method of conducting the
affairs of a borough as prosperous as
Steelton.
In letter to the Telegraph. a very
prominent resident and heavy tax
payer, who asks that his name be
withheld for the present time, de-
clares that the laws now in force
have passed their day of usefulness.
"Eis resident claims that he is backed
ir his statements by some prominent
and well-known residents who are
anxious to see the method of con-
Quoting the affairs of the borough
improved.
Taxpayers Letter
The taxpayers letter is as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Harrisburg
Telegraph:
kindly allow a small space in
your paper to few thoughts in re-
CARDS to municipal government. 1t
appears the old laws of borough
regulation have passed their day of
usefulness. They were promulgated,
compiled and enacted in 1851 by the
state of Pennsylvania. They have
been in force since that time and
some of them are laws in boroughs
to-day. They have passed away and
do not suit the present age.
These laws allow too much room
for politics to creep in. The idea of
electing councilmen from each ward
should be past history because it
brings an element of selfishness. Ev-
cry COUNCILMAN wants to please his
constituents to make sure of his re-
election. when his services should be

devoted to the borough as a whole

devoted to the borough as a whole.
COunciImen should BE Paid
Another bad feature is that coun-
cilmen must serve without pay. How
absurd and foolish this is. Why
should a man give his time and labor
and personal attention for nothing?
1t is only a bid for him to be dis
honest and selfish. and 1 am sure
that feature has caused many men to
fall by the way.
The State Legislature has recog-
nized that fact for years. Realizing
the weakness of the old law in re-
gard to boroughs. the Legislature en-
acted new laws which were approved
by the Governor in 1913. The new
laws provide that cities of the third
class shall be chartered whenever a
majority of the electors of any town
or borough having a population of
a: least 10000 according to the pre-
cGding election or preceding United
States census vote in favor of it.
The laws also provide that council
may on their own motion or upon
petition of 100 or more qualified cleo
tcrs make the change. The council
shall by resolution duly passed and
recorded on the minutes submit the
question of whether the borough
shall become a third class city at the
first general or municipal election.
If there is a majority in favor of
changing from a borough to a third
class city, council shall carry out the
law and provide for the change"
The Telegraph would be glad to
receive further communications on
this move. as it is creating much in
terest throughout the state. The
reason for this is probably because
a candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
Nania has announced a move for mu-
nicipal betterment as plank in his
campaign platform. 4
