The City Ordinances.

Mr.. EDITOR Il notice in your reports Of
the doings of the city council that new re-
vision of the city ordinances is being made
This is as it should be. Having in past years,
had something to do with the city's affairs,
am sure, from personal experience, that the
present code of ordinances is very meagre
and incomplete, and far from being what is
required for city of ten thousand inhabi-
tants.
The last revision in 1868, was evidently
made in haste, as it exhibits a multitude of
deficiencies and omissions, many of which are
of vital Importance to the we'll bordering Of the
public affairs of the city. What manufactur-
ing or other private corporation would think
of doing business without first establishing
some definite rules relating to its officers or
agents? Yet the words "city treasurer" and
collector of taxes" do not appear in our city
ordinances at all. Nor is the salary pertain
ing to either of those offices fixed or even
limited, but is left to be determined by every
new city council. In case the new council
does not attend to the matter, the officer
claims his pay under the order last passed,
although properly an order is without force
after the body passing it has ceased to exist.
1t seems to me hardly right for the salary of
anv city officer to remain untixed and be
subject to change at the caprice of a bare ma
jority Of the members of the city council at
any one of the meetings.
What has been said relative to the salary
of the treasurer and collector, may be said of
that of the Judge of the municipal court.
doubt if there are ten citizens in town who
know how much the present worthy and eff
cient municipal judge receives as compensa-
ton, and in what manner he receives it. The
writer will venture the guess that not three
members of the present city council can an
swer the question; most people suppose he
receives salary, paid by Mayors warrant,
like other salaried officers. but the annual
| city reports do not show such to be the case,
nor do they show anything concerning the
municipal judges salary. Doubtless the sal
airy, whatever it be, and however received, is
we'll enough, but it is a proper matter for a
city ordinance and should be established by
one.
The present ordinances have no provisions
for the safe keeping of gunpowder, the light
ing of the streets, the night watch, nor for the
hiring of city rooms, the insuring Of the city

with some blunt instrument. A six-barreled
pistol lay near the body, one chamber dis
charged. Surgical examination disspated
the idea of suicide, as the man was not shot.
Circumstances strongly indicate that he was
murdered and thrown into the water, the pis-

LXcTClSess
Brunswick, 6. President Chamberlain de-
livered the Baccalaureate address to the grad
uating class of Bowdoin College, yesterday.
His text was from Eccleiastes 7-23. He re-
viewed at some length the theories of the
positivists and the false assumptions of scien-
lists and endeavored to show the true rela.
tons between science and philosophy and re-
ligion, his closing remarks being especially
addressed to the class. The address was lis
tened to with marked attention, by large
audience.
David Dennison, well known citizen of
Brunswick, was caught by some betting he
was adjusting, this afternoon. His arm was
broken in two places, his jaw fractured and
his face badly cut.
