STATE POLICE TO AID CITY
Plan Now Being Worked Out for
Countrywide Co operation

Plans for definite co operation be-
tween tho city and state police which
will make it difficult for criminals OF
all kinds to avoid capture. were dis
cusscd today by Director Cortclyou and
Harry S. McDcyitt, private secretary
TO Governor Spronl,
Only preliminary arrangements for
the working plan were discussed and
details will be planned at II SUBSEQUENT
conference between Director Cortelyou
and Superintendent of state Police
John G. Groomc.
This city state co operation was I'D
vocated previously by both Governor
Sproul and Mayor Moore. In past years
there was considerable red tape and
waste of time involved before the city
could obtain the action of the police OF
the state, With the new plan all sec
tions Of the state will simply be re
garded ns outlying districts Of the city.
II will only be necessary to get in touch
with the state superintendent of police
to get action.

MOORE ABANDONS
C0UNTyPR0BEP
Decides Against investigation OF
Offices at Conference With
Cunningham
OUTSIDE OF HIS PROVINCE

Mayor Moore has abandoned his re-
cent plan for investigating the county
offices. This decision was reached at
a conference with Thomas W. Cunning
ham. clerk Of Quarter Sessions ana
president of the Republican Alliance OF
the city. held in City Hail this morning.
Mr.. Cunninghaa, warm supporter
of the Mayor. appeared as the cham
pion of the county officers and declared
that the Mayor had no power over
county affairs and that an investigation
of them sucl, as he planned to carry
out world come to nothing. lie felt
that in Il move of this sort the Mayor
would be going outside his province.
Last week the Mayor sent out a
questiounairc 10 the heads of all city
and county Offices which called for a
thorough report on the oiiiceholders. 1t
was thought at the time that this was
the first move in removing many oi the
present otticeholders.
Mr.. Moore maintained in the confer
ence this morning that inasmuch aS he
approved the budget of appropriations to
the county Offices he had authority to see
that this money was properly expended,
ana tnat he nau some aulHoiiIa oNN' 'hc
conduct of the county affairs.
Mr.. Cunningham pointed out that
while the Mayor could investigate the
payrols of the different offices, such an
investigation was unnecessary because
the county officers were required to
swear to the correctness Of the rolls
every week and that there would be no
possible chance of padding, either
literally or fipuratiyely. He also showed
that county affairs came under the juris- :
diction of the State Legislature and that
any changes should come through that
body.
The Mayor accordingly decided 10 cen
ter his plan for Strengthening out the
county offices on getting the right sort
OF men elected to the state Legislature
from this city. This would mean the
accomplishments of thc'samc results that
he wished to achieve more directly by his
proposed investigation.
