ELBOURN GETS AN OPINION
Asks City Attorney whether Mayor Had
Authority 70 Veto Claims
HELD MAYOR FAILED TO ACT IN TINE
City Attorney Breen Holds that Mayor
Acted within the Ordinance,
Though He Took over
Three Days.

City Clerk Elbourn intends TO die In the
ditch In his efforts to secure for his brother
in-law and sister-in-law that which he
agreed to pay thom. out of the city funds
for doing some city work at his request.
The mayor vetoed the appropriation for the
payment Of the obligation, but now Elbourn
holds that under the charter the mayor
affixed his disapproval OF the items too
late to prevent the same from becoming
a law. Consequently he has appealed to
the city attorney setting forth his reasons
for his stand in the matter While the city
attorney says the law is somewhat vague
and not clear In the matter. he will hold
that the mayor acted within his rights in
vetoing the claims after the three days,
which II his generally been held, he has in
which to pass upon ordinances
The section of the charter which
limits the time the mayor may keep
resolution or ordinance before acting upon
# is section twenty-eight. 1t provides that
every resolution adopted or contract up
proved by the council involving the cx-
penditure OF money must be within forty
eight hours, presented TO tUe mayor for his
approval and he shall have "at least three
days thereafter for the consideration there
of. II he does not approve the
same he shall return the same with his OBJ
IeCtlOn III WTltlnB 10 tne city council at It's
next regular meeting after the expiration of
the time herein limited. Should
the mayor fail, neglect. or refuse 70 ap-
prove any ordinances contract or resolution,
or return the same with his objection in
writing within the time herein limited, the
same shall take effect and be valid In the
same manner and with like force as II ap-
proved by him"
Resolution in Question.
The resolution In question was presented
10 the mayor, August 2, and the mayor dis
approved the items relative to the city
clerks employees. August s. Elbourn wants
the city attorney to give him an opinion
whether the mayor was too long about
affixins his signature and whether under
the charter the items do not become law.
1t lie understood that former city attorneys
have held that three days was the limit
which a mayor could take in passing an
ordinance. Attorney Breen has held other
wise, that the council must give the mayor
at least three days and until the next
regular meeting" That is II a regular
meeting comes within three days of the
time the ordinance has been presented to
the mayor. he does not have to report at
that meeting
