Connciln,nnic Incompetence

DI its action last night in denying the
- Mayors request that 1t fix salary OF
$4,000 the year for the Director of Pub
lie Works the Common Council. in out
.ht and brazen defiance of heavy pre-
ponderance of the public will. and for rea-
sons which. SO far as can be ascertained,
mount no higher than petty politics. alb
solved the Mayor from further responsible
ty for results that may accrue from a
cheap, niggardly policy in this, the citys
most important department.
The Mayor answerable TO the city as its
responsible head, believed $4,000 neces-
sary TO secure the services of the type
OF engineer Richmond needs. The Finance
Committee approved his request and pro-
greSSive citizens almost en- massc urged the
Council To grant it, but the Common Coun-
Gil, or Il minority sufficient to defeat it un-
der the two-thirds rule, led by James
Dickerson, Mayor Of Jefferson Ward"
who professed to see a niger in the wood
pile" houtcd the peoples will and thwartcd
Richmond in its plans for bigger and a
better city. Council thus assumes the re-
sponsibility. II has said by its vote that
Il wants cheap man, and the burden will
be upon it ii it gets cheap results.
With the Mayors request denied and III
further pursui, OF its chceseparing policy.
the Council voted its belief that the De-
partmcnt OF Public Works could function
adequately enough under $3.50 man,
DIckerson and Sullivan Directing even to
this amount That is the figure the Coun
ell has sent back to the Finance Commit
tee the measure OF what it is willing
90 pay
How long. o Lord how long, will Rich
monds interests continue to suffer at the
hands Of Council that either cannot or
will not function? For months now the
salary question has been used in politi-
cal game OF battledore and shuttlecock. II
has been hufeted about from committee
to Common Council the Board OF Alder
men, and back again, kicked about like
football. with final determination no
nearer in sight now than when it was first
discussed. Meanwhile. Richmonds pro-
gram of street and sewer building. all the
vastly important work that comes under tho
Public Works Department, with the eXpcn-
diture Of millions Of dollars, is neglected.
Thus does Richmond suffer from coun-
tiimanic incompetence. But Council has
shown its Willingness to hear the onus OF
inaction, and some day it will be called
upon To pay the penalty.
