A CROSSING.

acrossing had been put down in front o
the lniirmary Of the Sisters Of the lIol,
Gross and the expenses charged TO them
but that tho Sisters represented that they
had not asked for the crossing and did moi
feel able to bear the expenses that the
Committee be instructed to consult with
the Sisters and report what action should
be taken in tho matter.
The report was received and the recon-
mendation concurred in.
THE wEToEs THAT WERE IN VAIN.
The Mayor;-I have taken occasion to
return, with my objections, certain resolu-
tions passed at n previous meeting OF TINS
body.
VITO no. |.
To the Hon. the City Council Of the city Of Cairo
GESTLEMEN;-I herewith return for
your further consideration, series OF reso-
lutions marked No s, appointing special
committee for certain purposes, which
seem to be very clearly defined and set
forth in said resolutions. l object to that
portion of the resolutions which authorizes;
the Committee to take possession OF and
retain any or all Of the books OF the city,
not only for the purposes specified but Tor
any other examination they may choose TO
make. Such power Is entirely unwarrant-
ed, dangerous and subversive to the inter-
ests Of the city. After the Committee has
performed the duties for which they were
appointed, they should be compelled not
only to report, but to return all books and
papers belonging to the City Clerks office,
h.r ,pt N.J nd
them The present resolution would au-
thorize the Committee to take and retain
all the books Of the city, now or hereafter
in the custody of the City Clerk, and thus
rctard, delay, or put an entire stop to the
withhold them from the use Of any other
are interested and who may want 10 con-
suit them. cannot believe that these
were your intentions in passing the resolu-
tions. THOS. WILSON, Mayor.
TOO LATE.
Councilman Taylor.-I would like to
know the date Of the passage Of the reso-
luton.
The Clerk.-The first day Of July.
Councilman Taylor.--I would suggest
that objections to resolution must be
made within five days Of ito passage, and
that the time has expired In which this
resolution could be vetoed. The Mayor
was present when il was adopted and had
official notice Of its passage.
The Clcrk.-I did not present Il to him
then.
Councilman Taylor--It is too late TO
interpose veto, and I therefore move
that the communication oft Mayor lay
upon the table.
FIRST ROUND.
The Mayor-Thc motion should be,
shall the resolutions be adopted notwith-
standing the veto Of the Mayor.
Councilman Taylor-That would have
been the proper motion had there been no
lapse Of time. A resolution or an ordin.
ancc must DO vetoed within Ave days Of It's
passage, or 1t becomes law without the APP
prevail of the Mayor.
The Mayor--The question is Shall il lay
upon tho table,
The question was put, and the vote re.
suited rs follows;

STILL ANOTHER VETO THAT WAS IN WAN.
The Mayor then read the following com
munication:
Also returned for the reason that the re-
gistrntlon does not apply 10 sums Of more
than 81 granting that the registration of
city orders Is necessary, the reasons must
apply with equal force 10 large Ms 10 ANAL
