Withhold my approval because there
IL not only no law Jusliiying the pay-

OF the Same would DO Ia violation 0f a
PLAN aud explicit provision Of the act OF
the Legislative Assembly char,eriug the
city,
Tho act of tho Legislature relating 10
streets, sidewalks aud pavements, np-
proved March H., 1890, sec ion j, pages
los aud lOi OF tho Revised Ordinance.
provides that, "1vo Of is Tho City Coun,

tuer other not to allow the city council
