MAYORS OFFICE
Feb. 81 1860. {
T cthe Honorable the Members of the First and
Second Branches of the City Council:
GENTLEMEN BY ordinance No. 4, of the revi-
sed Code of 1858, it directed that all officers of
the city, with certain specified exceptions shall be
appointed annually in the month of February, and
enter into their respective offices on the first day of
March Immediately following their appointments
1t is therefore my duty to send in the list of nom
nations, in accordance with the provisions of the
ordinance. lift were matter of discretion,
would defer my nomination of Police officers until
after the question of the constitutonality of the
Police act, lately passed by the General Assembly
of Maryland had been finally settled by the Courts.
l would not do this merely Iroin courtesy, but
would deem it proper in itself; that no action
which could possibly be avoided should be had
pending the litigation in the Courts; but | am ad-
vised by counsel, that the Police act is unconstitu-
tional, and in case no appointments shall be made
of Police officers by the city authorities within
the time limited by the ordinance there will be no
city police in commission.
Under these circumstances, | have thought it ad-
visable to nominate the list as it now stands upon
the Marshal's books; thus preserving the organi-
cation as constituted at the time of the passage of
the said Police Act In doing this, I deem it my
duty to state that complaints are now pending
againt many of the officers, which have not been
able up to this time to investigate in conse-
quence of my indisposition. 1t is competent,
however for the city authorities in case the power
of appointment and control shall be adjudged to re-
main with them, to re-OrgaliZe the corps, or to
move any unworthy person; and this power, so far
as l am concerned, will be promptly exercised at
the proper time.
In acting upon these nominations respectfully
recommend that your Honorable Body would indi'
cate by resolution, that all commissions thus or
paniZpd hal he to
time hereafter.
am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
