The men put TO work by committee
were not legally employed. The CHARTER
gives the Mayor the right to approve CT
~dlsapprOve all resolutions and ordinances.
Employees should be employed by resolu-
ton, which is an official act which can be
reviewed by the Mayor and traced in the
minutes read by the public.
The men designated as ballot box
suffers and the man designated a "r e.
peater" should not receive pay from tn Q
city victimized by their crimes. No bust
ness house would pay money to clerks
luJurlng the business sustaining them.
From a business point of view, the bal
lot box suffers made possible legislation
by the State and acts by the city which
have greatly Increased the public bul-
dens, anu it will take constant care and
1usicIous handling to restore The city to
that general coed reputation which the
city had before the disclosures of the out
RACES on the suffrnges.
Very respectfully,
PETER f. WANsER,
Mayor.
