ENFORCING OF THE oRDNANcEs-cIRcuLAR ORDER
ISSUED TO THE CAPTAINS OF POLICE.
The new Mayor, Ia new broom sweeps clsan) seems
determined to out the ordinances. Heretofore
they have been dead letter. There is now pro-
mise of vigor in the execution Of the laws. When
policemen made complaints before the cases we're al
lowed to slide and they thus discouraged in the
perisrmapcc OF their duty. Mayor Kingssnd is toll
lowing the opposite principle for he threatens to dis
miss those policemen who do not report all violations
of the city ordinances Having comm unicsted that
intention to MIR Mase the excellent Chief Of olice,
the latter has issued circular TO that effect to the
captains Of police charging them to report to him
every ocer whs neglects to take cognizance Of the
obstruction of the streets throwing garbage in the
and other vshcles-in fact every violation Of those
laws that have been framed tor the ordsIy govern
ment Of TINS great city TINS 10 the right course but
that he means to enforce the ordinances, which
hitherto have been farce and laughing stock Thus
the law will be respected and ell men will yield It
cheerful obedience.
