SOME SPECIMEN LEGISLATION BY OUR CITY
The Board OF Aldermen, sitting as County Canvass
ers, seem to have some expensive ideas as 70 the
transaction OF their routine business Al tho last
gathering OF TINS body thoy employed twenty-five
clerks. They were In session days and resolution
introduced apprepriating $2,750 to pay these
twenty-five assistants This resolution was passed by
tho old Board. but Mayor wckham would not sign IT,
In his vcto among other things, he says:-lt is pro-
posed pay $500 TO of them $3.50 to each OF nine
OF them aud 500 each OF the Others or 81 $50 In tho
aggregate Tho list contains the names OF twenty-five
Board OF Canvassers IL appears quite impossible that
so many persons should have been abe to occupy
themselves with the services which this resolution
suggests that they rendered 10 that Board.'
The amount was then decreased 10 $3.50. Sew eral
attempts were subsequently made 10 pass tho resou-
days meeting IL was called up again. when Alderman
Cowing contended that the Board had no legal power

Aldermen were compelled to discharge the duties OF
Alderman Lewis argued that BY the provisions OF the
election law, the County Clerk, who acts as clerk 10
the canvasscrs, had the right to employ persons to
ussst him. Alderman Morris offered substitute TO

marked that II Just such legislation which CON-

To THE EDITOR HEIALD.--
As citizen allow me to express my qualification at
tho action of Mr.. Andrews in pursuing the brutal
police sergeant who outragcously assaulted the two

punishment and the comparative holplessncss Of their

brutally kicked In the side ana face an individual
