Your committee, therefore, especially call
me attention OF this Joint meeting TO these ex-
fraOrdnary and almost incredibte acts Of Mr..
Bowen, and of Mayor Richards, the Chief of
Police, Is demanding the most prompt and Wig
Ofous remedy.
These Boards have hitherto, with most COM
mendable ferbearance, submitted TO the indig-
nifty of having the doors OF their chambers
barred against them and guarded by a strong
police force; TO being forcIbly restrained by the
police from even entering into the CITY Hall;
and 10 being forced, by the same power, TO hold
their lawful meetings IN most unsuitable rooms
IN the basement of the building. They have
sedulously avoided every step which might
lead 10 a collision Of physical power, and
yielded TO usurpauon, tyranny, oppression
and wrong, rather than bring on q conflict
with those having the semblance OF civil au-
thority. And your committee earnestly recon-
mends the same considerable course in future:
But they also recommend, first, that appli-
cation be mAde without delay TO the Commits
sioners Of Police, 10 whom especially Is en-
trusted the preservation Of Law and order in
this community, 70 inerpose their authority,
and restrain, as they have power 10 punish,
their Chief of Police for his abuse Of his power
and once, and his perversion Of IL TO the great
injury of the cor porators OF this city.
And they submit for the consideration Of this
yoiut meeting, the following:
Reselred, That the Mayor do, without delay,
prohibit the First National Bank of the City Of
Washington from paying any drafts, checks,
or orders ON the funds OF this corporation, un
less the same are signed by Thomas Z. Lloyd,
funds in custody, except upon the order Of said
Thomas Z. Lloyd, Mayor.
