was taken up on that day "lo extend the
time for completing the assessment and max

ference TO this county. The Clerk Of our
our County Commissioners informs US .ha,
he sen. on to Annapolis copy Of the COM
plete returns Of the Assessors as early as

would render the police discordant and dis
connected body.
But the most dangerous power attempted ia
be conferred on the Police Board, to be created
by the bills now before the House of Represen-
tatiyes is the utter responsibility with which
ii invests the five individuals who are to COM
pose that Board. If your memorialists under
stand Alright, they are. to be utterly independent
of the Common Council, and are to be without
any check whatsoever, their decisions being final
and without appeal And not satisfied with this,
the bills in question seek to confer other and ex-
traordinary powers on the Police Board, by
authorizing them to appoint Wardens, Under
Wardens, and employees of the Work House
and the Superintendent, Warden, or keepers OF
the District and city Prisons, all of whom are
now appointed sylvia voce" by the members
of the Common Council. To your memorialists
the purport of these bills would seem to be to
make the Common Council the mere paying in
strument of the acts of the Police Board--a
position which, if not derogatory to the Com
mon Council, would scarcely appear to be accep-
table to the mass of the citizens and tax payers,
Your memorialists arc apprlsed also that
there are other features Of the bill, concerning
extraordinary powers on the various Recorders,
beyond those Of mere committing magistrates,
and. so far as they can perceive, the amend
ments, or rather alterations, proposed, would
have the effect of embarrassing the ends of JUS
tice, inasmueh as they contemplate the unwise
creation of fees which are forbidden by the pres
emit Charter, and the granting Of extraordinary
powers to the Clerks Of Recorders, which can
only have the effect of making our Inferior
Courts less accessible to the destitute and i'm
poverished class of itigants.
Your memorialists would, III conclusion, say
that they have not heard of any petition before
your honorable bodies to amend the City Charter,
and that, considering it has only been a very
short time in operation, they would respectfully
beg to allow the same to remain unchanged for
a brief period, SO as to give an opportunity for
the full development of the wise and salutary
measures, and prudent checks and safeguards
engrafted on the Act of Consolidation And
your memorialists will ever pray, etc.
