MIR, HALL AS A REFORMER

TCIIOSE who for years have been advocat-
l. ing such Il change in procedure as would
put the control Of all expenditures Of the
County Of Philadelphia In the hands Of the
appropriatins officers Of the city will well
come the support OF Councilman Hall.
lie has just been saying that the salaries
Of the employees IN local Offices should be
fixed in Philadelphia instead OF in Harris
burg This Is a protest against the custom
Of going to the State Capitol to ask for
higher salary when that has been denied by
the City Council. That increase iu salary
may b. made after the budget for the year
has been adopted. 1t places a burden upon
the revenues not contemplated. And the
recipients Of the bigger pay can ste ont a
mandamus ordering its payment.
But Mr.. Hall does not 20 far enough.
The abuse Of which he complains would be
ended at once il the system OF dual govern
,nent were abolished. The county Offices are
beyond the control Of any one in the City
Hall. The number Of employees may be
raised aud appointments may be and are
made at the discretion Of the appointing
power without regard to fitness. And the
County Commissioners exercise certain
functions that ought to be performed by the
City Council or by one or another Of the
departments of the City Government
This anomaly was avoided when the ter
ritory Of three counties was annexed to
New York City. The act Of consolidation
provided that the powers of the Boards Of
Supervisors Of the counties--these boards
correspond to the County Commissioners in
this State-nOt devolvcd on administrative
departments or boards should be vested In
the Board of Aldermen.
Such a change canno, be made by legisla.
tive act in Pennsylvania for The Commits
bal, al IN, tba tni
tuition like flies IN amber and they can be
removed only by Il constitutional amend
ment. New York was determined that
there should not be the anomaly Of Il dual
form Of government in the territory Included
within the city and il took effective steps TO
prevent it.
\" such steps We're taken when the
boundaries of the City Of Philadelphiu were
extended TO include all the territory within
the County of Philadelphia. If Mr.. Hall
and his political associates will unite to
urge the Legislature to nd0pt the necessary
amendment to The Constitution he will earn
the gratitude of all those who believe that
the City Government should have control
over the local expenditure Of the money
raised by taxation on local property. The
functions of the County Commissioners
should be d-volved upon the City Council or
one or another Of the city departments.
The change would at once deprive the
county officers of their power to mantumtls
the City Treasurer for the payment Of bills
for which no appropriation had been made.
IL would NOT, however. prevent the abuse
OF the privileges Of the Judges of the courts
Under the law these Judges are empowered
To decide how many clerks and attendants
they need and within certain limits to fix
their salaries.
