a CoJMMENDABLE VETO.

The Mayor of our city, Hon. A. D. Crossman,
has recently given q veto upon an act of the City
Council. We deem the veto not only Just in
itself, but, also, a creditable demonstration OF
respectfully independent judgment. There is
1t is subject to the revision of the City Council
and Of the public opinion of a municipal, and,
therefore, limited community. In less than
forty eight hours, in city limits not four miles
square, every man can form and may express
his opinion in the premises
This is the case: Sometime since, a citizen
bought in, at public auction, the contract for
the First District Draining Machine. Other and
responsible parties were competitors with him
subsequently, he found ont (what practical
man or q not too greedy bidder might have known
peiore) that he had dear bargain--in fact,
ruinous contract He was, certainly, in CON
dition to claim the sympathies of his friends
But the question is, what right had he to
make reclamation upon the public treasury,
to save himself from loss and shield himself
from the penalties of the gross and greedy haste
Of speculation, which, by proposing to work for
song, had driven serious and responsible cor
tractors out OF the market! Why should he or
any other contractor be permitted to underbid
every competitor, only to secure afterwards, by
whining appeals and industrious cultivation If
Aldermen, as much as, or more than any other
competitor asked His bid may have been too
small--it may be absolutely ruinous now-but
he is, therefore, to have relief, the thing can
% reduced to an absurdity.
