PRoCEEDLNGs OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

! Your undersigned would respectfully
and with due Difference to yourselves IN
I terposes his objection TO the bill OF Mr.. W.
! Is. ThrOckmorton, ex-ciJy treasurer. which
was embodied in ordinance No 1855. pass
/ ed by your honorable body on June -.
/ 1891 In compliance with sections - and
| %, laws OF 1881. aud the powers conferred
/ upon the chief exectiye, l consider it a
/ duty demanded OF me to exercise the pre-
/ rogatiye in this instance.
/ l. The largest item OF this bill is the
claim for rent of the treasurer Office. The
records OF the city contain no
/ precedent or mention Of like
demand by any of his predecessors
IN office, and as the said eX-treAsUre
never demanded a special Office for him
self, or ever intimated 70 the representative
assembly of this city his intention or de-
sire for such. the city Is lot ana cannot be
held liable for this expense
2 The other items for fuel. janitor's
services, etc, can be readily met by the
same pertinent objections already enumer-
ated-
3. The claimant did not verify the bill
under oath until July /, 1s9i, while the
meeting which allowed the bill was held
June -, 1891. The failure TO verify the
bill was in itself a failure 10 comply with
the law, and for that reason the bill should
not have been allowed.
I therefore feel obliged to veto the said
bill, based on the foregoing reasons, and
respectfully return TO you the same for
amendment, as other items therein are, no
doubt, proper and lust, aud should be set
tied SO as not to delay justice III this case.
Respectfully,
JOIN 3 CARY, Mayor.

vegetation and stagnaut pools Of water
emphasize the fact that IL IS necessary, IN
order that the health OF the people be
properly protected that some steps be
taken 20 relieve that portion Of the city
from the overflow OF water We there
fore recommend for a partial rel ef that
the street commissioner he directed and
instructed To open ditch such a would
require but few hours or work. and
which VIII straIghten the ditch through
which the water should naturally flow
and in that way afford partial relief al
though such relief viii not be complete,
and in cases Of serious overflow the re-
suit win be much the same as now.

they are unable to suggest fail and com
pIete remedy for this trouble which IS
within the power of the city 10 furnish, .
