The new ordinance relieving the city from
liability for the costs that are assessed to
worthless prisoners, who are put on the chain
gang, will, it is thought, save the city over
81, 900 annually. This amount is said to
have gone to the e1chrqusr of the Mayor
md Marshal heretofore. The Supreme
Court has decided that the cities are
,ot liable, unless by ordinance, for such
osts. This reduction to the salaries of the
Mayor and Marshal will reduce that Of the
ormer from about $1,000 to about $1,000
lad the latter from about $4,000 to $4,000.
This does not look to be . very rough de-
ou ON our city officisls.
