The following message from the mayo
was presented and read:
Mayors, Office, Citysef Yanktop, MAJ
II, lSS6-To e.. M. O,Blien, City CLERK
return herewith without my appreza
an ordinance to repeal section Is, o
chapterll4, OF the revised city ordinances
proViding spolice force for the city
passed by the city council May 3, 1856.
At the same meeting at which this
ordinance was introduced and passed
and prior to its introduction, there wor,
presented and reed, two petitions, bear
ing about thirty names, praying Tor til
repeal of this section. ae ~
These petitions are the only oficia
documents, that Lam aware of, present
ed to the council onathisssubject, and i
is reasonable to that the.
had some influence ON the council. n
These petitions assume that til
policeman elected under said section l
is not under the control of the mayo
and council, and for that reason til
petitioners call upon the mayor an
council to take control of the pollc
force of the city and TO repeal said SEE

1t is evident from the wording Z
tthese petitions that the petitioners wer
mislnformed. as. TO the contents of TIL
section and are, mistaken about its legs
effect. The policeman elected undo
this section is as fully under the con
troll OF. the mayor and council as al
other member of the police force. Ell
was regularly elected by the mayor an
councii and has duly qualified by tub
ling the official oath and giving bonl
and he is made by said lection Enbiet
10 all the restrictions imposed by Ia
and the ordinances of aaid city on men
bers Of the regular police force.
Should said policeman at any time b
guilty of any misconduct in Office th
mayor and council have power to re
meye or suspend him.. The citizens ar
as fully protected against any abuse &
authority bJfthis policeman as any othe
officer. He differs from u regular police
man in only n respect, and that is b
serves without expense TO the city. A
, long as he assists our other officer
without expense to the city in discover
ling and bringing offenders to iustic,
and that is az far as he can 60, can
not see that any bad effects will resul
from continuing this section in force
The reasons urged in said petitions hay
no foundation in fact. I cannot discove
