From his Honor the Mayor-NetO.
To the Honorable the President and Com
mon Council of the City of St.Paul:
I herewith return without my approval
Ordinance No. -. entitled IAN Ordinance
in Relation to Rebate on Licenses"
NV objection to it is that it is retroactive
in its effect. as 1t applies to licenses issued
during the proceeding year underOrdlnance
No. 161. by which, in terms, rebates are
made allowable, and upon the faith of
which licenses have been taken out where
on the full years license money has been
paid. although business has been done IN
der them but for a fractional part of the
year and portion OF the money IS, there
fore, however small the amount may be,
Justly returnable.
I should approve the ordinance II it
could be construed to apply only 10 IL
censes to be issued il the future.
Ineed scarcely say that it is bad prin-
ciple Of legislation 10 enact laws which are
designed to be Retrospective. TWAS prob
ably not so intended IN this instance by
your Honorable Body ,nevertheIess the ordi-
nance bears that construction.
