Pay of F. l.. Lawrence
The accompanying report of the Com
a1A of 10
ing of the Council on the Sd inst, recon-
mending an increase of salary from S72
to 500 per month, to be paid to Mr.. F.
l.. Lawrence as Bailiff of the Municipal
Court, L most respectfully return for
further consideration by your honorable
body, as l am of the opinion that the
additional amount cannot be legally
paid for the following reasons, viz:
FirSt-There is no such position as
bailiff.
Second-The position is policeman
for special attendance and duty in the
Municipal Court, irrespective of the gen.
eral or special rules or legal regulations
and enactmentS relative to the qualifica-
tions of policemen to be appointed by
the Mayor and approved by the Munic-
ipal Judge, limited to two in number,
giving the Council the power to allow
greater compensation under such ap-
p0lntmentS than under the appoint
ments made by the Mayor and confirmed
by the Council, such as the appoint
ments to the regular police force for
which S72 is the maximum of salary,
being the sum now paid monthly to pO-
licemen. See chapter IL, Sec. 20, page
161 of-Charter, and Sec. II, page 36, and
See. ., page 12S, amendments of 1887.
Third-No policemen for special duty
in the Municipal Court have ever been
appointed by the Mayor and confirmed
by the Municipal Judge. The three pO-
licemen (erroneously called bailitfs).
Court, hold their positions upon
the regular police force under ap-
pOintments made by the Mayor and
confirmed by the Common Council. Mr..
+. l.. Lawrence is one of them, and is
entitled to only S72 per month under the
appointment.
Fourth-The passage OF a resolution
or ordinance has been overlooked by
your honorable body in adopting the re-
port of the committee.
Fifth-TO legally increase salaries a
resolution or ordinance. would be neceS-
Sary for the wise purpose of bringing
the matter before the Mayor for his APP
prOval or veto, as anticipated by the
Obedient servant,
JOHN w. ROCHE, City Comptroller.

OF City Engineer-EdgertOn Street
The Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis &
Omaha Railroad company have fully
completed the Edgerton street bridge
according to the plans and specifca-
tiOns, and desire formal acceptance on
the part of the city, in accordance with
the provisions of certain agreement
between the said railroad company and
the city of st. Paul. l would recon-
mend that the bridge be accepted.
Yours respectfully,
l.. w. RUNDLETT, City Engineer.

Committee on Streets
Also,
Minnesota Transfer Bridge
| send the enclosed letter of Mr.. w. II.
Truesdale, relative to some change de-
sired in the bridge over the Tranfer
tracks at st Anthony Park. have per-
sOnally examined the location and find
it to be impossible for the Transfer
company to put down their tracks un-
less the change asked for is made. The
city has no right of way across the
Tranfer grounds at this point, and the
bridge which is absolutely necessary for
public travel, is only there on the suffer
ance OF the railway company. / would,
therefore, recommend that the change
desired be made at once. / would roughly
estimate the cost of the work at $780,
| would further recommend that the
city proceed at once to condemn a right
of way on the line of Raymond avenue,
across the right of way of the Tranfer
Railway company, and also across the
right of way of the st. Paul, Mime
apolis d Manitoba railway. Under the
present condition of affairs the city
might be ordered to remove the bridge
at once, to the great detriment of public
travel and injury to the city's interests.
Respectfully submitted.
