B3fgffgSffBTl rtv 1 -mm TERMS USED By Mayor Gonrley in His Veto of the Poor Farm Ordinance. HE OBJECTS TO THE KIYER FRONT. Controller Morrow's Letter on Street Improvements and THE SEED OF A TOTE OF THE CITIZENS The following is the Mayor's message to Councils referred to in the Council proceedings on another page, in which he gives his reasons for vetoing the-1'oor Farm ordinance: To the President and aHinberi of Select Council: "Geictlenex I respectfully return to your honorable body without my approval, 'An ordinance Xo. 635 of Select Council) authorizing and directing advertisements lor proposals to the City of Pittsburg for tho sale to Ktid city of real estate to be used for the relief andemployment of the etc. 'This ordinance is objectionable in two respects.

In the firt place it confines tho purchase to a river front, and in the second place it does not specify evenapproximately the number of acres required. Speaking in general terms I believe that the best interests of the city demand that all ordinances, specifications and advertisements inviting proposals for material and work, or for the sale to the city of supplies, apparatus or real estate, should'be so framed as to open the door to the widest possible range of competition. It will doubtless be generally admitted thatdhis portion is in harmony with the established rules of business, and in full accord with the spirit of the law governing such matters. Such, however, has not been the established policy of this city. On the other the tendency has been to narrow the sphere of competition.

Asa cousequenco our streets are paved with a certain kind of material: our fire equipments are confined to apparatus having some exclusive device: and the proposals for the sale to the city of land for a i'oor Farm are limited to a half dozen of people who own suitable property on a rii er tront. Speaklnjr From Past Experience. "What has been our past experience in attempting to purchase laud fronting on our rivers? Our first effort demonstrated that almost every farm in the county inspected by your committee was controlled "by a syndicate that held an option on the property at price less than half that demanded from the city. Property that was held by the rightf ijl owner at $259 to $350 an acre was generously offered by a philanthropic syndicate to the city at $0C0 or SMtta.n acre. Taking advantage of the city's efforts to buy a home for her untortunate poor, these enterprising speculators denned it "a religious duty to tlicmelves and the community to thrust, if possible, their arms into the treasury of tha city and take out $150,000 or $300,000 to be equally divided between themselves and tho legitimate owner of tho property.

"Tho interests of the city cannot bo promoted by tho encourr percent of this kind of enterprise. On whatever business principles it may be based, however ingeniously it may be explained, in its practical application it must bo recognized as a sort ot legalized robbery. It simply the taking of money from the trcasuiT without giving an equivalent in return. It is a species of spoliation to which the public have in a measure become accustomed, but which is, nevertheless, an outrage on the rights of the people. Upon the wild lrontier, in the midst of a rude, untutored people, it is no uncommon occurrence for travelers on a secluded highway to be waylaid and robbed; but the plunderers of great cities are the excrescent growth of an enlightened civilization.

And what of our second attempt? Concerning one of the properties offered it is unnecessary to speak. The unfavorable comments made at the time regarding it, by the- press and tho public, must be fctill fresh in the memory of each member of your honorable body. The party representing another property had, immediately prior to tho presentation of his proposal, obtained an option on a large part of the land offered at two-filths of the price demand by htm from tho city. Still anoth-erhad been offered to private individuals at two hundred dollars an acre less than the price et forth in his propovf tion to the Controller. But one of the farms recommended by your committee as suitable for the required purpose was offered at anything like an approach to its real value.

"In view, therefore, of our past experience -incorporate in' the present ordinance a restriction that will again render the city subject to tho power of a few individuals determined to take advantage of her apparent necessity by demanding wild and extravagant prices for land which, for farming purposes, is not worth more than $150 an acre? I cannot think that as individuals and in the management of our own affairs we would pursue such a course. It does not seem Just to the city. If we must have property fronting on a river the striking out of the restriction to which I refer will not in the least prevent its purchase. But the omission of this provision will extend the field of competion; and, as a result other available farms in the county will be proposed, and at prices, too, if I mis-tako not, that will compel those who control property on the river iront to review their estimates and reduce very materially the excessive values placed on their land. As to the Necessity of a Klvor Front.

"Is it not reasonable to suppose that by such action we might be able to save $50,000 or $75,000 to the city? Is it not worth the effort? But, again, is a river front essential to a poor farm? I have no hesitation in stating thut I do not believe it is. I know tho argument is advanced that there must be a river to supply the necessary water and provide suitable drainage. If tue first part of this argument be true, what then becomes of similar institutions maintained and sup- Sorted by cities and counties that have no irgc streams and rivers? If there be truth in the second, it is only proper to add that it is au unhappy condition of things that makes it necessary to pollute tho stream which supplies our city with by emptying into it the filth and sewerage and fetid matter that might be used to better purpose in fertilizing the soil. From Cincinnati we have the testimony that a river front is not at all essential. It might be a convenience, nothing more.

Artesian wells supply their poor farm with an abundance of good ater. From Philadelphia we have testimony of a like character. Boston, Baltimore and Columbus speak in a similar strain. Xev York says that land fronting on a river is, as a rule, too expensive for farming purposes. "Thus we might present cumulative evidence from other large cities tending to establish the fact that there are many managers of institutions similar to ours who do not share in tho opinion that a Poor Farm should necessarily border on a river.

Such a location is a convenience, but not a necessity. If the convenience could bo had for reasonable compensation, it might be well enough to have it; but that such a thing is impossible has been conclusively demonstrated by tho experience we have already had. And furthermore, it may be proper to state that within comparatively brief period of time tho available river fronts within the limits of this county will be monopolized by manufacturing industries and growing towns. To such a site, there-lore, the encroachments of population will in a few years constitute anew the objections so persistently urged against the location of the present farm. If this be a truthful statement, and I do not believe it will be disputed, it presents an unanswerable argument against the purchase of an expensive larm bordering on the river.

Popular Opinion for a Small Farm. 'From the information supplied by the cities to which I referred, and others. which might be mentioned, it becomes evident that tho prevailing opinion is in favor of a small farm. Such a farm is the more desirable for tho reason that tho inmates of an almshouse are, generally speaking, so de-" bilitatcd by disease and old age as to render them practically useless in tho performance of manual labor. While the inmates of tho iusaue department possess more physical strength, it will hardly bo seriously maintained that men of disordered.

Intellects and shattered minds are capable of rendering reliable or effective service in the cultivation of an extensive farm. It is moreover true that a very large proportion of those who find homes in our poorhouse have never had the opportunity ot acquiring a knowledge of agricultural pursuits. Being ignorant ot tho duties ot larm life, their labor cannot be advantageously utilized in that department of industry. "It has been said by a very intelligent gentleman ol Extended experience in the management of a poor farm, that even male paupers who are able to work answer no valuable purpose in tilling tho soil. Lazy, shiftless and utterly without ambition, they peek every opportunity to escape the very appearance of work.

The hope of cultivating a large farm with such labor is vain, delusive and unsubstantial. Chicago with her 00 acres and l.TOO lmtinprs Mnnnt cient vegetables to supply her institution. I As to tho growing of wheat, rye and oats, tho experience oi other cities goes to prove that I such grain can be boughtin the open market I for much less than it. costs to produce it through the instrumentality of paupcrlabor. "Is it wise, therefore, to put the municipal- i ity to the expense of purchasing an oxten-I fcire iannr it not positively unwise to do so, if the prices demanded in the past are an index of -what the prices will be? I submit these questions earnestly and In the full belief that they are worthy of consideration.

I know that suitable employment should be provided for those who are supported at the expense of the city, but I. believe that a farm sufficiently large to furnish pasturage and produce the vegetables required by the institution would supply all tho work the Inmates are able to perform. For such purposes a farm of 5 or 100 acres would be abundantly large, and in my Judgment the ordinnnco should be so framed as to limit the purchase accordingly. "Very respectfully, 'II. Gourlky, Mayor." Controller Morrow's tetter to Councils.

Controller Morrow's communication arguing tho necessity of a popular vote on the issuo of bonds to pay street improvement contractors was as follows: To the Select and Common Councils: "Gektxemex As your honorable bodies are already aware, the Supreme Court has striken down tho legislation of the years 1SS7 and 1SS9 relating to street Improvements in this citv and have hereby imposed upon the municipal corporation, not by implication only, but by their unquestionable dictum, the liability for the payment of the cost of improvements made under said legislation to a sum which will aggregate not less than $2,000,000. This decision of tho Court was announcea in juarcn last, anu soon as its import could be correctly ascertained, tho city authorities, through corporate channels and through the conference nndcounel of citizens called by the Mayor in town meeting, took the necessary steps to procure from the Legislature such curative enactment to supply the defects revealed by the Supreme Court as was thought to bo expedient and feasible. The City Attorney is now engaged, as directed by resolution -of your honorable bodies, in applying the recently obtained legislation to the necessities of the occasion, and, while I believo that the city will through this means derive a very large sum of monev, perhaps sufficient to meet the whole liability eventually, the hope cannot be indulged that she will be ablo from this source to satisfy the impending claims at once or even in a reasonable time. The uncertainty in the, public mind, whether or not the new assessments required to be made will themselves be subjected to tho gauntlet of the courts and possibly non-confirmed there, may cause many persons to withhold payment until prospective legislation shall have been determined. Power and Recourse of the City.

"The right to obstruct orretard collections is one of the corollaries of citizenship, but will, in the end, provo beneficial in effecting a quietus upon disputed points and thus determining at the outstart Just what power and recourse tho city forever possesses. I have myself tho highest confidence in tho practical righteousness and ultimate stability of the city's contention to recover every dollar of tho old assessments by new ones. In the meantime the contractors and those who have -supplied them with money, are painfully deprived of large sums equitably due and have no negotiable asset to represent their claims. I am advised and bellove that they could proceed in court and obtain Judgment, which would bear interest at 6 per centum and require satisfaction by a direct tax levy upon the property of the citizens at the next annual appropriation if not sooner. "I expect a deficiency at this time from this year's appropriations of about $100,000.

More than double that of last year, which, with the above claims or Judgments of the contractors, will require an increase of tho tax rate from 15 mills, as at present, to not less than S3 mills. Now, this is a heavy burden to impose upon the taxpayers at one time, especially as the related benefits are special, progressive and distributive, and not applicable in any leAuitable ratio what ever to the uniformity of the increased tax exacted from the rate payers individually; whereas, if tho city should use her credit in the bond market and afterwards collect the assessment from the parties directly benefited, the community is taxed for interest and eased by accumulations in the sinking fund uniformly, and in the end the costs and expenses of tho improvements will have been at least paid by those whom law and common sense intended should pay them. Benefit of the Sinking Fund. "Of course, if the curative legislation falls to bring the collections as reported, the city would have her bonds to pay, but the sinking fund could take half the amount required to be issued, and she would so far save the interest on them. I was from the beginning in favor of the city issuing her own bonds and paying the debt direct, because the Supreme Court has left no escape from the liability therefor, but I thought with many others that tho Legislature, then sitting, could afford equtHly uuthoritati ve and more speedy means of adjusting our affairs than any other means.

The weight and authority of opinions, however, developed after mora careful examination of all tho facts, seem to have no other conclusion than thata vote of the qualified electors of tho city will be necessary to authorizeyour honorable bodies to direct the issue of bonds, if you decide to meet the emergency in that way. "I submit herewith the draft of an ordinance directing an election to bo held for the purpose of ascertaining the will of the electors of the city whether bonds shall be issued for the amount and purpose above referred to. The date of maturity and rate of interest of the proposed loan, while not essential to be discussed at this time, should be intimated to the people, and I think a five-year loan at i or 5 per cent interest could bo placed now.
