TO PUBLISH ORDINANCES.
To the Board of Trustees: Your at
tention is called to section 20 of the
charter which provides as follows: ''The
Board of Trustees shall, during the first
year after it's organization under this
charter, cause all ordinances then IN
force to be classified under appropriate
heads, and shall provide for the publlca-
ton of the same in book form. Livery
officer of the city shall be entitled to one
copy of such ordinances without charge,
and every citizen applying tor copy OF
the same shall be entitled to the same at
the cost of publication. The
board shall also. at the end OF each year,
except the years above provided for,
cause to be published in pamphlet form
all ordinances passed during said year"
1t is nearly two years since the charter
took effect, and no legal steps have been
taken towards the publication OF the ordl-
nances in book form.
l am aware that your board attempted
to make contract with X. NJ. Clarken
for the classification and compilation OF
the ordinances, but as the steps necessary
to make the contract legal were not taken,
there is, of course, no binding contract
for the work.
/ notified Mr.. Clarken Immediately
after the action of your board that he WAS
not authorized to proceed with the work,
and if he Insisted on doing so he would
have to take his chances OF getting paid
for il.
The ordinances should have been pub
lished by the first OF last year. Why they
were not so published is not so plain TO
ME. L ask, therefore, that your board
take action upon this matter at once, and
1.-THE work IS 10 be done by contract that
the contract De let IN accordance with the
provisions OF the charter. Respectfully
submitted, b. L. SHERMAN, Mayor.
