NV approval indorsed thereon. Ordinance

for the removal of buildings or structures
partially destroyed by fire or otherwise
dangerous within the fire limits OF the

A CLAIM DIsAPPRovED.
To the Board of Trustees: herewith
transmit to your honorable body, with
my disapproval indorsed thereon, the
claim of M. a. Horne for S57, which was
vetoed by the Auditor on May 8. 1854. ana
passed over the Auditors veto by your
board on June II, 1895. My reasons 1or
disappearing said claim are as follows:
The claim is presented for services rem
dered an machinist in the Water WORKS
during the month of May. 1884.
AS the charter vests in the Mayor tne
~
in the Water Works Department. and as
the claimant was employed by others in
violation of the provisions OF the charter,
/ do not think the claim is q just one
against the city, and should not, there
fore, be paid. Respectfully submitted,
B. U. STEINMAN, Mayor,
TO DISPLAY LICENSES.
To the Board of Trustees: / herewith
return to your honorable body. for the
purpose of correction, Ordinance No,
entitled, Requiring every person. firm
or corporation engaged in any business
avocation or employment in the city OF
Sacramento who is thereby made liable
TO obtain a license, to place and keep such
license conspicuously in his establish
ment or place Of business. and providing
q penalty for any violation thereof" be-
cause Section contains the alternative
of 81 fine for each day of the lmprlson-
ment. All ordinances heretofore enacted
uniformly contain the alternative OF 81
fine for each day of the imprisonment.
AS the State law requires this, think it
would be better to have the ordinance
corrected in this respect 30 AZ to remove
all question as to the legality of the pun
ishment In other respects the ordinance
is an excellent one. Respectfully sub
mitted, B. U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
TREE-TRIMMING ORDINANCE.
To the Board of Trustees: I herewith
transmit to your honorable body, with
nv approval indorsed thereon, Ordi-
nance No. =, entitled, IAN ordinance to
prohibit the cutting or trimming or mu-
tilating of trees on certain streets In the
city Of Sacramento. without the consent
of the owner in writing, and fixing q
penalty therefor"
In this connection, desire to state that
at the last meeting of your board mis-
IL % tHn off AOf hnf IN
two former occasions l had vetoed an
ordinance similar to the one now under
consideration.
There never has been an ordinance Of
this kind presented to me during my
term of office, for, if it had. it would GER
tainly have been approved at once. as l
am strongly in favor of prohibiting the
destruction or mutilation OF ornamental
trees on our streets. Respectfully SUBJ
mitted. B. u. STEINMAN, Mayor.
