sincerely hope that all good citizens will give
their support and Cooperation to the authorities
in the enforcement Of law and order. Some OF
our citiEens have given expression to want OF
confidence in my ability and disposition to per.
foi,.c' ~ the duties Of my Office To them would
say their want Of conndehHss In me Will be no ex.
cuse for the nonperiOrmance OF the!E duty, and
would remind them that there is scarcely q
wrongful act that is not punishable under the
State laws and that there are three Justices of the
Peace In the city before whom complaint can be
made and In addition thereto, any person has
now without preliminary hearing before either
Mayor or Justice Of the Peace, for all but peni.
tenliary offenses the right to file complaint In
the Probate Court, and theIeupon 1t ls The duty Of
the Prosecuting Attorney without charges or eX.
pense TO the complainant to prosecute the accus-
ed before the Probate Court upon the complaint
so fled and In addition to this, every person has
also the right TO go before the Grand Jury and
make complaint for all offenses whatsoever, All
l ask is the cordial cooperation OF all good Citi
zens in the enforcement Of law and order, and
leaving each one to choose the one Of many trib
unals established by law, which he prefers or In
which he mOst COnfides.

THE POLICE FORCE.

An efficient police force is OF course Of the ut.
most importance to the city. The force hereto.
fore has been and Is too small. There is a de.
mand not only for increased force, but better or
ganiZatiOn and more stringent rules. In my Opin.
Ion the right force should nOtbe less than SigM in
number, and the city should be divided into eight
police precincts or beats, and one man assigned
to each beat, and IN addition thereto, q true and
tried man should be appointed roundsman, whose
duty It should be 10 make the round OF every
beat, every two hours In the night and report
every policeman absent from his beat. He should
have call distinct from the ordinary po!iCemans
call, and sound the call in every beat as he makes
the round, and the answer would indicate Wheth
or or not he is on his beat. Some such measure is
necessary, In my opinion. There has In times
past, been much complaint about policemen not
patrolling the city. They have been accused of
lettering In places Of public resort and other
Places and even Of having left the city limits in
the night and gone fishing Fer the day force
there should be Two policemen to patrol the city,
as the Marshal cannot patrol the city, his duty
being to attend the trials before the Mayors court,
and to execute all writs and processes issued by
the Mayor. The practice Of appointing police
men as deputy Marshals is not in accordance
with law In contemplation Of law, policemen
are to patrol the city, not to attend the Mayors
court, or to serve or execute his wrts or process
That is exclusively the duty Of the Marshal, and
when he is unable fully to perform this duty, the
Council is authorized, upon his request and
reCommerd datiOn, to appoint one or more depu-
ties; but such deputies are not to be policemen,
but other suitable peisOns, and when so appoint.
ed the Marshal is entitled to the fees for the SER
ices rendered by them, and is to pay them out Of
bis own pocket, just as the Sheriff pays bis own

MAYOR PIERO'S MESSAGE
TO THE CITY COUNCIL-MANY VALUABLE
SUGGESTIONS MADE
The La,Os and Ordinances 10 be Strictly Edtorced,
Salary and Fees of Marshal and Policemen
The Tramp and WorEhouSe Questions,
Board Of Health, &c. &c.

Mr.. President, and Gentlemen Of The City Council
1t is my duty under the laws to report TO you
concerning the affairs OF the City, and recon-
mend such measures as to me seem proper.
Canton is no longer village. 1t is rapidly at
tanning the rank OF a city Of importance, and the
time has come when the affairs Of he city should
receive more than usual consideration, and great
er efforts should be made to enforce law and or
der In its limits. 1t is my earnest desire during
nay term Of Office to perform fully the duties Of my
ofice, and especially to strictly
ENFORCE THE LAWS AND ORDINANCES,
and maintain order and quiet in the city, This,
alone and unalded cannot do, nor will the aid
Of any Efficient police force, alone suffice, but
need and must have not only the moral support
but the active co operation Of the Councl and all
good citizens, The powers Of the Mayor and po-
lice are limited, they have respectively the pow
ers and only the powers Of Justices Of the Peace
and COnstables. Citizens generally, 1t seems to
me ignore thiS fact, and on the other hand
fail TO realize their duty in respect to the enforce
ment Of the laws and ordinances.
JURISDICTION OF THE MAYORfAND POLICEMEN.
The Mayor has not the inqulsitorial power Of
the Grand Jury, to summon persons before him
To enquire OF them concerning the commission Of
offenses nor ca he issue warrant for the arrest
Of any one unless complaint is made under oath
by some person Nor have the police, generally
the power to arrest any one without warrant,
they can only do so when the offense is commit
ted in their presence, or when this Offense though
not committed in their presence, is penitentary
offense; but even In the case Of penitentary Of
fense, policemen assume dangerous response.
bility In arresting without warrant, when the
same is not committed in their presence, and may
themselves be sued for arresting without sufR'
cient probable cause or for false imprisonment
AS the policemen cannot be every where at the
same time, it is obvious then that unless the peo
pie perform the duty OF making complaint under
oath when they have personal knowledge Of the
commission of an off nse many offenses will go
unpublished. This is especially so where all pat
ties are equally guilty as in disturbances Of the
peace, brswls, fights, &c.
CITY SOLICITOR AS PROSECUTOR,
Next, though the Mayor has now the same iuriE
diction to try and punish offenders the Probate
Court has,yet there is no provision for proSecut
ing'sttorney.. In the Mayors Court, The county
prosecutor is not bound to prosecute in thai
Court, nor is the City Solicitor unless specially re

SERVING OF wRITs.

Now In the first place as far as serving the writ
or processes is concerned, while l do not deny
that In cases Of emergency, the police and even
private citizens can and should serve such writs,
yet II is no part Of their regular duty. ghe law
does not intend them 10 hang around the Mayors
office, watching for chance to serve such wrls
or processes, bui on the contrary while on duty
they should be patrolling the city constantly and
the law expressly provides that the Marshal shall
serve all writs issued by the Mayor This is sim
ply for the sake Of the coveted fees tempting the
police TO neglect their proper duty, and especially
the night police to foreg0 their proper rest and
sleep In dag time, and thereby uniting them
selves for the vigllant performance OF their duty
at night. No doubt this ordinance was passed
with good intention, and for the purpose OF inClt-
ing the police to increased vigilance In the per.
fOrmance OF their duty, but II wholly falls TO &C
cOmplish this result It does not provide that the
police shall In al cases receive the extra dollar
for arrests, and the other fees The Council evi.
dently concluding that such course would
prove, as II certainly would, too great a temptR-
ton TO the police to arrest innocent persons upon
some pretext or other for the sake Of the extra
fees, but with their caution In this respect they
Committed a far greater error by making these
extra fees dependent not only upon the c0nviO-
tim Of, but also upon the payment OF the same,
by the arrested party. This 10 wonderful and
most obnoxious feature. II ignores the funda
mental principle, that all laws shoUld be Impair
italy enforced against all transgressors, without
regard to class or person, and assumes to dis.
Criminate between persons able and persons un.
able to pay hne and costs. By It the Council in
effect says to the police "Ghat We the Council
deem the arrest and punishment Of persons able
to pay fine and costs Of so much importance that
we offer you special reward for their arrest and
punishment and on the other hand 1t Is imma'

PAY OF POLICEMEN.

In regard to the pay Of the police, l believe the
policy heretofore. and now In force, Of giving
policemen regular salary, and In addition there.
to- fees for services rendered, is hardly In strict
conformity with the law, at least the phTaBeology
Of the several provisions Of the statutes, seem to
imply this In respect to the Marshal, the words
used are fees and compensation; In respect to
the Street Commissioners, Surveyor and other OF.
foers the words used are "iees or salaries, or
both" while In respect to the police, the words
used are, Compensation or fees" and thus IL
seems to me, 1t is the intention OF the law that
the police should, like the Constables receive for
their services, fees only or that they should re.
ceive stated salary and no fees. But conoeding
this policy is in conformity to law, and that the
Council has the power TO give the police both fees
and salary, yet IN my opinion the ordinance now
In force regulating the pay OF the police, is un
lawful, The Council has no unlimited power.
but only such as are vested In 1t by law, and its
acts done, In the exercise OF such powers, are
valid only to the extent that they do not contra
vene public policy. Now this ordinance Is not
only against public policy, but in my opinion is
very demOIalizing in its tendencies and results.
The ordinance is as follows: page 81, Sec. 10)
"For each arrest, the policeman or watohman
making the same, shall receive one dollar, and
for the service Of other processes the same as are
allowed a constable in like cases. to be paid by
the parties arrested, II convicted and in no case
by the city"
