MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS.
Although have approved your minutes, Gent
lemen of the Council, to avoid any delay or ap-
pearance of captionness or faultfinding, still
wish to call your attention to two items in the
proceedings which practically imperative
doubtless through oversight on your part. Please
note that you have warrant in any law,
either Roman English or American Constitu-
tional law, for laying over, defering or postpon-
ing action on veto, and refusal to act on
veto sustains it. There need be no question what
ever on this point and do not care to take up
your time further on this point at this time.
wish also to call your attention to the fact
that all Borough licenses are according to law,
granted by the Burgess and not by the Council,
accordingly it might be wise, to prevent any
further trouble on account of legality, to make
the resolution which says ut is the sense of this
Council that the proceeds of any license which
may be granted by the Council, during the Fire
mems Convention shall be given to the Firemens
Committee" conform to law.
E. o. BARDWELL,
Chief Burgess.
