MAYOR PERIELLO
MAY CHANGE MORE
Republican "Key Men May
Be Placed at Head of
City Depts.

Well-defined reports that Mayor
Patrick M. Perriello is considering
a program whereby Republican "key
men" would be placed in city de-
partments headed by Democrats
today promised to stir up political
turmoil. The reports, from high
sources, are to the effect that the
mayor wishes to have a personal
representative in an important po-
sition in each major department, so
that he can receive direct reports
about the affairs of each such de-
partment.
The mayor did not deny that such
a plan is under study, and gave the
impression that details of the re-
ported program are now being
worked out. Democratic office
holders, especially those elected to
their positions by the people. will
undoubtedly protest strongly against
any such attempt on the part Of the
mayor.
Discussed With Leaders
It is understood that the plan
has been discussed by the mayor
with leaders of the local Republic
can party. but it is not known
whether the plan originated with
him or with the heads Of the
G. o. P.
The working out of the plan pre-
sents several difficulties. If Mayor
Perriello requests department heads
to place a Republican in key" po-
sitions, he will probably be turned
down. If he seeks to act without
the cooperation Of the department
heads who were elected he faces
legal trouble, since the decision in
the Sherwood L. Rowland case last
year indicated that elected officials
can name their own assistants. In
the case Of appointed department.
heads, the mayor would be able to
appoint ''watchmen" under them

to the American public a message
picturing briefly the present situa-

I feel it an honor to be the mayor
and civil commissioner for the de-

Of her supreme trial.
(To Polish sympathizers through
out Europe Mayor StarZynski has
become the hero of the hour. They

The military position of the cap

hands of the military staff but
can state that our troops up to this
hour are maintaining their positions
and gradually advancing.
The morale Of our troops contin-
ues excellent.
Methods OF Germans
I should like to comment on the
methods of the Germans attacking
Warsaw and I wish to reiterate my
former statements in which I la
beled these methods as q disgrace
to modern civilization.
They consist in the wanton and,
from the military viewpoint. the
useless slaughter Of our civilian
population.
They consist IN the intentional
destruction of our historical build

our hospitals, the homes Of our

BACK TAXES ARE
TOBECOLLECTED
Economy Committee Of
Finance Board Plans to
Do Just That

A campaign for the collection OF
back taxes, particularly those due on
personal property, Is being prepared
by the economy committee of the
board of finance. The committee has
requested Tax Collector william A.
Ennis, Tax Attorney George r. Gull
foile and Corporation Counsel VIM
cent Scully to recommend the best
methods Of procedure in collecting
the sums due the city. The total
due Is said to be over $1,000 300,
while personal property taxes
amount to about 100000.
Commissioner John H. Goss told
the finance board Thursday after
noon that the campaign would
mean bringing them In, at least to
talk to them, not to send them to
jail" City police or sheriffs would
summon the delinquents to the city
hall. The plan includes granting de-
linquents permission to pay their
overdue accounts by installments.
Commissioner william B. Pape
suggested that in cases where the
taxes were levied against automo-
biles the city secure attachments on
the cars. Commissioner Goss replied
that probably most of the cars are
out of service since the accounts 60
as far back as 1917.
A suggestion that a new city de-
partment for the collection Of back
taxes be set up was made by Com
missioner Major w. Judge. well

A card index Of all those owing

names, addresses, taxes due and the
amounts of interest or penalties
Preparation of the file began early
In the year.
The economy committee accord

cussed the collection program at
great length. He indicated that 1t
would begin as soon as acceptable
methods of procedure in regard TO
