On behalf of Police Magistrate
Squire the city attorney brought up
the matter of fines remitted by the
mayor and said the ordinance required
that when the mayor remitted fine
he should explain his action to the
council. 1t seems that the police mag
istrate has recently complained that
such action on the part of the mayor
and also the marshal had deprived him
of some of the emoluments of his Office
to which he considered himself entitled.
The mayor explained his action in
the only case for which he had been
criticised by the police magistrate AID
then said that he was out of sympathy
with the magistrate finding out how
much money prisoner had and thea
filming him according to his pile as had
been done altogether too often. The
council approved the mayors action
in the case in question.

shown that a dog that had bitten one
of the citizens had been sent to the

once without regard to whether a tax
has been paid or not.
The marshal was instructed to make
an inventory of all tools belonging to
the city and also those belonging to the
water system.
