Our Municipal Affairs.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE
AS l understand it, we are paying for q
municipal government, and yet have
none. The Council, am informed, has
not held meeting since April election
will, while the Mayor has turned over
his authority to what is termed Police
Justice.
Would it not he we'll enough, if mem
bers of Council do not intend to pay any
attention whatever to the ddties of the
Office, to resign, and permit persons to
be chosen who will? And, if the May
or finds editing a newspaper and filling
the Mayors Office Incompatible, is there
anything in the laws, or the ordinances,
or the Constitution of the great State
of Ohio, that forbid his doing likewise :
am led to make these inquiries 10y
the circulation of a paper plsdging per-
sons who subscribe to it to contribute a
specified amount per week to pay for q
night watchman. That We ought tC
have a night watchman there is nc
doubt. He would not only afford some
protection against burglats and petty
thieves, but against FIRE, as well. But
why should individuals be called upon
to pay for the protection of the property
of others who do not contribute, as well
as their own? Is this not the business
of the municipal government,and should
not its cost be paid out of the public
treasury?
Council. 1 am informed, is paying the
Marshal $40 per month, with no require.
ment that he shall do any duty in the
night season. when needed, and the re.
suit is he is about through the day sea.
son, when there is no special necessity
for patroling the streets, and is moi
about in the night season, when the
streets do need pstroling. Some persons
are disposed to abuse the Marshal be-
cause Of this anomaly. The fault lies
at the door Of council, insist.
The move for night watchman is In
the right direction, but the town treas
ury ought to bear the expense, not few
individuals.
Council should meet and give this
matter the attention its importance de
serves. Legislation, no doubt, is need
ed. Ii a night watchman is efficient. h,
must have authority to arrest and de.
tain any one found upon the streets a
an unreasonable hour, say after Il
O'Clock. who is not able to give a salts
factary reason for being out. Such ar
ordinance, and good officer on duty a
night, would be great service to ouI
town. r
