money to build a suitable structure Time

value ON the expression Of the people by the
exercise Of their right Of petition
The MAYOR vetoed the action Of the Com
mon Council recommending the Comptroller
to include in his yearly estimate the sum of
$4,000 to rebuild the Central Market His
reasons are the change Of location and the
large amount voted. He is infiexible in his
recommendation to rebuild on west Bates
street, at a cost not to exceed $50 900 He
also vetoed the resolution appointing gen
eral inspector of paving He considers the
Council have no power, under the city char
ter, for that instrument gives Street Com
mi ssioners control over all street improve
ments who by virtue Of their offices, are the
superintendents Of all having and sidewalks.
As whole, the citizens approve of the &C
ton of the Mayor, and, to make long story
short. we consider Mayor Moffat brick.
