Mayor WILEY, in his official letter to
President of CITY Council N. X. Benson
Thursday, in which he returns the appro-
priation ordinance unsigned, among other
statements, charges in the third para
graph Of his letter that;
A careful examination OF this ordinance dis
closes the fact that certain sum Of money
was set apart for the police commission, ana
further that this sum was agreed upon without
the knowledge or approval OF the board OF
Police Commissioners. thus rendering nuga-
tory and void, the enactmont OF tho Leylslh-
ture creating said board and which clearly de-
ilnes their prerogai Ives and powers. This sum
Is clearly not sufficient for the proper main
tenanct OF tho public peace.
There is in the hands of Franklin d.
Cotton, chairman of City Councils finance
committee, letter dated April27th, which
showed an estimate. in detail, of each and
every varied police department item, signed

commissioners, asking for total expendi-
| tilre for the coming year OF SSl, 279.Ii.
