Gentlemen of Common Council
of CITY of Lambertville, N. j.
JAS. FL. REYNOLDS, City Clerk.
DEAR SIRs:-
L received on Tuesday, March l4th,
at IL A. NJ, for our City Clerk u sup
plement to an ordinance fixing the
salaries of city officers, passed by
Council, March 6, 1911.
This supplement is similar to the
supplement to an ordinance which L
vetoed on Decem Der 10, 1910. with the
exception of one officer, whom / see
is to get raise of $500 at this time
instead of S25 on the supplement
which vetoed on December 16, 1910.
Now then gentlemen | cannot
change my views on my Judgment on
my decision of December 16, 1910, as i
think that our appointed officers are
duly well paid for their services at the
present time, with the exception of
the City Treasurer, whom l woul d
pass an ordinance or supplement to
an ordinance granting him $50. 90
more for the year as think the Treas
urer is entitled to that amount if he
| does his duty.
Under conditions as aforesaid, /
feel it my duty to veto this supple
ment which our Council passed ON
March 6, 1911, increasing salaries of
appointed officers"
Yours very truly,
VIM. J. LEDGER,
Mayor.
