On several occasions during Lie session,
hove III q few remarks The programme
50 far as dc7cloped, is TO extend the city
limits 20 as to include all OF township ~ ut !!
the South, and the southern tier OF sections |
in Township 40 at the North. Ibis will give |
us Bridgeport and Eolsteln, with all the con
centratcd smells, rows, forty rod and
filth, Which in those classic localities abound.
u 4DES AtG 9EE " Q44uisA4t 1CuANE1i4llN 1uEt
in this ?
ton WAS submitted to the legal voters Of
Chicago. and by 4 perfectly overwhelming
| majority, defeated. Is it anything more than
sheer humbug 10 agaln attempt TO 1olst upon
| Inc people thaL WHICH tney nave alfcauy SO
strongly denounced:
Another proposition is that the Mayor, the
| Treasurer, the Collector, the Clerk OF the
P"lice Court, and the City attorney, shall hold
Of one. as at present This section also pro
| y5des that in case vacancy shall occur at .
period before the annual election greater than
| six months, q special election shall be held
The minor officers now appointed by the
Council, are to hold their positions for two
years instead Of one But the most interest
ing feature Of the affair which has yet seen
The light, is the section which makes the
| Mayor t1 otiti0 President Of both the Board Of
Police Commissioners and the Board Of Public
| Works.
We conceive that this contemplated action
is wholly unnecessary. and clearly useless.
! It is mere tinlering process inauguratcd
by the Mayor and his crowd Of hangers-on
for political purposes, and therefore should
be opposed by ali good citizens
Tie question as to the subdivision Of the
, | wards has not as vet been reached, When ii
8 is, we may expect q lively time, rs the few Re
publican members Of thu Committee will moi
4 Silently witness The gross attempt to perpc
