From His Honor the MayOr-Veto of
Resolution Providing for RediviSion of
Election Districts
To the Honorable the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
lreturn herewith the resolution passed
by your honorable body on the Sd inst,
and providing for a redivision
OF the election districts of the
city of st. Paul, without my
approval. for the reason, as l am in
formed, that it Vas passed without
proper consideration. The resolution
was not submitted to the special COM
mittee appointed to establish election
districts, etc, and it changes entirely
the manner of appointing Judges of cleo
ton, while, to my mind, the changes
suggested are not an Improvement on
tie old system. Heretofore the judges
of election have been selected by the
Aldermen of their respective wards-a
method which has been attended
with desirable results-and L do
as set forth in the resolution,
would be at all satisfactory. The
first two clauses of the resolution ap-
pear to be proper and just, my objection
being to the third section. which en-
tirely changes the methods of appoint
Ing the judges.
