VETOED LAW DID NOT
APPLY TO CANTON
POLICE COURT FOR THIS CITY
WAS PROVIDED IN AN ACT
PASSED LAST MAY.

Canton is not affected by Governor
Harmon's veto of Representative
Gibbs bill proposing to create police
courts in Akron, Lorain, Newark, Mar
ion, Hamilton, Mansfield, Lima, Nor.
wood and Portsmouth.
The governor gave the following
reasons for vetoing the measure:
Il see no necessity for the creation
of these new offices. There will have
to be not only judges, but clerks, cri.
ers, baliffs, etc. Under present condi-
tions these cities should get along
without increasing their expenses and
think they can easily do So"
AS originally introduced, the bill
provided for a police judge in Lorain
only. Legislators, especially Republi.
cans, seeing in this an opportunity to
widen their political interests, got
busy and tackled amendments to the
bill until it made provision for police
judges in all of the above named
cities, the majority of them small
places where the establishment of the
Judgeship was entirely unnecessary
1t is probable that had the bill
been allowed TO remain in its original
form it would have obtained the
sanction of the governor. There was
little question as to the need of a po-
lice court in Lorain. A police court in
Akron and Newark was not entirely
uncalled for. But in order to block
some of the smaller towns, where the
creating of the Office meant merely
the establishment of a political pull
the governor was compelled to veto
the bill.
The bill providing Canton's police
court was passed by the Legislature
last May. The original bill provided
for court in Youngstown, and was
passed in 1904. 1t was amended to
provide a police judge in Canton at
the 1908 session.
What the council intends to do in
the matter of setting the salary of the
police judge is still matter of much
speculation. However, there seems to
be no lack of candidates for the po.
sition.

city treasurer Asks increased saIar

City Treasurer Asks Increased Salary.
In making an estimate OF the cost of
conducting mis- department for the
next year City Treasurer Thomas j.
Bidwell believes that the salary of the
next treasurer ought to be S2500 per
annum. Out of this amount the treas
urer would be expected to pay for his
own bond, which costs $500 annually.
He thinks that the salary should be
increased to this amount because the
next treasurer will not receive a cent
from the board OF education for the
handling of their funds, they having
decided to have a treasurer OF their
own. Mr.. Bidwell is OF the opinion
that net salary OF $1,000 is not too
high for the treasurer, considering
the work that is to be done and the
responsibility attached to the ONCE.
He estimates that II will require
$500 10 run his Office, an assistant
being paid $500 of this amount.
