COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-veto-
To the Honorable, the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul
l respectfully return herewith the Or
d1nance No. :, entitled Gan Ordinance to
amendi Section Two of Ordinance No. 276
an Ordinance to amend Section Two of Or
dinance No. 261,' without my approval, for
the reason substantially stated in my mos
sage to your honorable body Of tho 10Th
inst, returning the resolution with ebjec-
tons thereto directing tho proper city Of
fiosrs to issue to Charles E. Cady license
ingten street, to-wit: "Ths Chief of Po-
Official knowledge Of vicious and disrepu-
opinion, be the best judge of tho fitness Of
approving or rejecting applications. I
may add that s0me consideration il
due to tho ofice-the position of
Chief of Police. It is very
important position and involves great re-
sponsiSility. If the incumbent il
singled out, as the resolution to re-
| instate Cady' s,regular liquor license, and the
it belittles the Office and would tend to
neutralize the independence of any incum-
bent thereof, who, as believe, should be
NH fhn
| without fear or favor of his best Judgment;
otherwise he would naturally be so tram
meled and terrorized that he would not
properly discharge his duty, and his USE
fulness would be gone. How tho
| refusal of the present incum-
bent to approve Cady's application
could possibly have inspired the action Of
your honorable, grave and deliberativs
body in respect to the approval Of future
applications, quite amazes me. It is need
less to say that I think his action was
right. If your honorable body think 9th
erwise, it would, in my opinion, be far bet
ter for the efficacy and usefulness of the
police force to remove him for cause, if
any there be, than to degrade the respon-
sibie position he holds, as the passage Of
the ordinance il question certainly would
do not desire to set otherwise than in
strict harmony with the Common Council,
but in this instance cannot consistently
do so: yet should your honorable body en-
act the ordinance, Notwithstanding the
Mayors objections thereto, as tho unanim-
| ity with which it was passed loads mo to
suppose you will, I shall cheerfully COM
| ply with its provisions in all respects.
