THE NEWS OF MOBILE
MAYOR MLEAN VETOES THE
MICHAEL ORDINANCE.
Provides for Days Pay to Members
of the Police Force who Did
Not Obtain Their Annual
Vacation.
Advertiser Bureau.

Mobile, June %.
Among the ordinances adopted by
the General Council of the City of Mo-
bile is one providing for vacation OF
five days for each member of the police
force and fire departments. This or
dinance was passed about three years
ago. The past year the members OF
the police department were not given
opportunity to avail themselves of the
vacation. the firemer, however, having
gotten the time off.
At the regular session of the Coun-
ell. June Is. Councilman Michael intro
duced and had passed a resolution ap-
propriating $350 or as much thereof as
necessary, to be devoted to the paying
of present members of the police force
who were on the list on April LIST OF
pay, because of not getting the leave
of absence. This morning Mayor Nc
Lean, in communications to the mem
bers of the General Council gave no
tice of his veto Of the resolution, in
the following communications:
IT return herewith without my ap-
prevail resolution passed by your Hon
orable Body at its last meeting, hav-
ing for it's object the remuneration of
certain police officers who were not
given vacation during the year end.
ing April LIST, 1904.
I'm explanation of my action in this
matter, I wish to say that when / as
sumed the Office of Mayor, 1 found the
Is
dition; and investigation established
the fact that the deficit was even
greater than anticipated. AS a meas
ure of economy, / was forced to dis
continue the practice of allowing po-
lice officers leave of absence with pay.
which would have entailed on the City
an additional expense of over $500.
Another consideration was that tho
matority-in fact nearly all the MEM
bers of the force were new men; and
therefore were not. by virtue CT pre-
vious services, entitled to a vacation.
All those who have been in the service
one year have earned a vacation; and
such officers are now being allowed
off five days with pay.
81 have had up with the CITY Ac-
torney the question of allowing addi-
tional pay in lieu of vacation: and he
advises me that the charter does not
provide for or sanction such payments;
and II would virtually be a prostitu-
ton of the City's revenues to use them
for any such purpose.
Charles e. Mclean,
Mayor"
What the Council will do tomorrow
night in the face of the veto remains
to be seen Already there is much ac-
tivity among those who favored the
resolution to secure enough votes to
defeat the veto. Councilman Michael.

king oscar of sweden and Norway

King Oscar of Sweden and Norway
is a goo dead of a Democrat himself,
but while travelling in Switzerland not
long ago he had an experience which
goes to show that officials of the little
mountain republic are no respecters
of even kings. He and his suite were
travelling in a saloon car from France
and had no tickets. that matter having
been settled as usual, at Swiss con-
sulate. On entering Switzerland, how
ever. his majesty and suite, to the
number of about twenty. were called
upon for first class tickets or the
equivalent in cash. The sum was
about 5000 and there was not hat
amount of cash in the entire party.
Just as the officials were about to side
track the car an influential local mag
nate arranged matters and the royal
train was allowed to proceed.
