Mayor Spensley's Address


Mayor Spensley's Address
GENTLEMEN OF THECoMMoNC C0UN.
cIL:-In addition to what csmmu.
nicated to tho Common Council last
year / have but little to add. I re-
new my suggestions in reference to
the necessity ofproviding for the ba-
sis ofa FIRE department, or at least to
furnish facilities in the way Of res.
evoirs or tanks so as to aid in extin-
gushing fires. It must be apparent
to oil that the property which pays
the great portion Of taxes in this
city has no adequate protection
against FIRE.
The recommendations as to . uni.
form systems Of city accounts which
were presented to the CityCouncl at
their first meeting last year has not
been adopted. The experience Of
the Council for the past year shows
the necessity Of carrying this ont,
and to provide that . system Of 40
counts shall be adopted under which
no money shall be paid into the
treasury, or paid out, Of which tho
City Clsrk has not N entry 10 bin
books. TheCity clerk Il the constant
attendant Of the Council, and should
at al times have tho means at hia
command Of informing the CityCoun-
Gil rs to any matters before them.
Under the present system this can
not be done.
In the past year, IS heretofore.
there has been great deal OF dis
cussion as to the enforcing Of the
laws and ordinances Of tho State and
city. The blame for any and MI in
fractions on the law aud ordiances
has been placed upon the Mayor of
the city. How upjustly anyone can
see.
The Mayor has no more power to
enforce laws and ordiances than any
alderman, sheriff, deputy sheriff, or
constable of tho city. It is true
that it is the duty OF the Mayor to
see that all the lsws Of the State and
ordinances Of the city are enforced.
But it is also provided by the Char
ter of our city that the Mayor is the
exclusive tribunal to try all violations
of law or the ordinances OF the city
occurring within its limits, unless he
declines to act. All such complaints
must be made to him.
The Mayor, therefore, should not
be held responsible for violations Of
the laws of the State or the ordinan-
ces of the city. He cannot complain
and at the same time be Judge as
to the merits Of the complaint. 1t
is the duty Of any officer Of the city
to make complaints as to any viola
ton of the laws or ordinances OF the
city. 1t is the PRIVILEGE Gf not the
duty OF any citizen to do the same.
When any such complaint is made
shall consider it my duty to inves-
ti1ate it. A complaint made by an
officer Of the city will be considered
prin,a tacie correct. But as to all
complaints, II there is nota proba-
bility of sustaining them on trial, !
shall take the responsibility mo
matter how much it may oTsud-of
disregarding them, and thereby saw
ing expense to the city. If officers
and citizens will only heed the above
suggestions there viii not be any

advertising a little now and then
may be of some benefit, but as con-
temporary remarks, "It is only a

their money legitimately, have done
so by steady, persistent advertising.
