Jack il the Winter Of the Councils
Who will make him glorious
Summer. Where is the Sun Of Y Ork that
can do this thing.
1t il reported that Mayor Winter and
Marshal Williams have kissed and made
up, and now everything is lovely and the
goose it hangeih high.
We have been told that one Of our
policemen-one Of the night policemen
has been occasionally putting on sub
stitute. Where do policemen find au-
thorty for the substitute business:
Marshal Williams was absent with a
circus twenty-five days. The Council
paid him his salary for the time. We be-
lieve the Council should have done no
such thing. Marshal Williams had a
right to go away from the city with the
circus, but he was not entitled TO salary
for the time he was absent.
And Jacky he was mayor;
Aud Jacky thought that Schu-ter. he
Wasn't acting fair
so Jack removed Billy Schuster.
And the council 1t said: NAY"
And so the wrangle RACES
And the devil is to pay.

fearfully "windy"--in other words
lengthy.
Jackie got little mad
And Jackie cut off Freddy's head.

And then they wrangled nightly.
"I'll see Patier and Saup and This.

But Tom unmindful then and Their
Took up and put on Freddy's head.
The Council voted to pay WhitcamI
and Schuster for tine time they were GU
of office by the removal OF the Mayor
The Council had no right TO do so. Tn
Mayor has authority to remore any ap
pointed officer from Office when in hi
opinion the interests of the city requir
such removal, and the removal deprive
the removed officer OF any right to re-
ceive pay tor the time he was out OF OF
flee, even If the Council, when the Mayo
states his reasons for the removal, vote
that they are not sufficient.
When Mayor Winter ruled Alderman
Ilalliday's investigating report out of or
der, he did not, II We understood him
desire to say that he wished no investiga
ton Of the charges made by him agains
Messrs. Whitcamp aud Shuster, but sim
ply that he believed the Mayors Bill
gave him the right of removal for an,
cause that in his opinion was sufficient
and that all the Council could DO was t
pass upon the sutiiciency of the cause
reported by him to that body. We hav
and do yet hold the opinion, that tn
Council may Investigate to ascertai
whether the causes are sufficient, bu
there are many reasons to believe tina
the Mayor may be right In his col
struction Of the law.

We arc informed that the officers
