MAYORS VETO FOR FOUR BILLS.

Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday four bills.
among them one that would have cut down the
numt er of from 800 to 40 to election dis
trict.
OF the bill providing that hremen of the third
grade receive $lloO instead Of $1,000 and those Of
the fourth grade $1,000 instead of $500 the Mayor
said: Such legislation violates the principle Of
home rule and is unnecessary. The local authori-
ties have the power to fix these salaries"
The bill to allow coroner's Jurors compensation
equal 10 that given to jurors in courts of record
was vetoed on the ground that the Jurors do not
perform an equal amount of work. Jury duty in
the courts frequently involves several weeks con-
stant attendance while the coroners juror is often
summoned for only few minutes work." com
mented the Mayor.
In his memorandum accompanying the veto OF
the bill 10 amend the election law the Mayor says:
my only reason for refusing TO accept this amend
ment IS on account OF the great expense which
would be entailed upon the city by the enactment.
There are now 495 election districts in existence,
and there would have to be 79s 10 meet the re-
quirements Of this bill"
