MOVING law IS effective
WITHOUT MAYORS APPROVAL
Armour Withholds Signature, but Noes Veto
Act ct.Accomplished by Majority; Library
Board Controls Valeria Building.

ion. 1t was brought out that the cost
of maintaining the Varelia building be-
ing charged to the library fund and it
therefore would, to that extent. come
under control of the library board.
The question Of jurisdiction in re-
gard to the Valeria building was
brought up as a result of an invitation
from the American Legion to the Red
Cross to establish headquarters in the
building. This proposed change was
protested by the older quasi military
organizations now having the use Of the
building.
Strain Brothers was awarded the
contract for furnishing the boulevard
department with 1000 feet Of hose,
at cost Of $1,O15, on recommenda-
tion of the boulevard committee. Other
bids considered were from the Muir
phy-Maclay hardware store, the Pope
Atchison hardware store, the Northern
hardware store and the George g. Mill
company. The bids were opened at
the last session of the council and re-
ferred to a committee for tabulation.

Reports that automobile drivers are
not using proper caution in the handling
of their machines caused Alderman
Harry Stevens to request that the po-
lice departm be more active in com :
pelling the observance Of the traffic
ordinance. Mayor Armour instructed
Chief of Police Anderson to detail a
motorcycle policeman to enforce the
regulations as soon as street condl-
tions permit the use Of a machine
Great Falls tribune., 1922-02-21

The moving ordinance becomes ef-
fective March %. Not exercising his
right of veto, Mayor r. NJ. Armour, at
the city council session Monday night,
announced in communication to the
council that he had not signed the
measure because of the belief that it
is not a proper municipal regulation.
Mayor Armour did not veto the or
dinance, the comm unication read, be-
cause he did not wish to nullify the
action Of the majority Of the council.
The mayors communication was as fol-
lows:
Being Of the personal opinion that
the ordinance passed on final reading
at the last regular session requiring
expressmen to report removals OF
household goods. etc, is not proper
municipal regulation, though an excel
lent merchants exchange regulation,
I do mot see my way clear to sign the
same.
Having, however, the greatest re-
spect for the opinion Of the majority
of the council, | hesitate to nullity
your action by veto, hence permit 1t
to pass without approval or veto, per-
mitting it to become effective, thus
in court the question of whether or
not it is a proper police regulation in
Montana under the conditions as they
exist in this CITY,"
Automatically Effective.
Failure to take executive action on
an ordinance within Il week after its
final passage means that the ordinance
automatically becomes effective at the
end Of 30 day period.
City Attorney Charles @. Davidson,
in compliance with request from
Mayor Armour to render an opinion
relative to the power of the library
board with reference to the Valeria
building said he believed that the build
ing was under the control of the Ii
brary board, providing it is still con-
sidered as library property. The board
Of trustees, appointed by the city coun-
Gil to have charge Of the management
Of the Valaria building, not having
been created by ordinance, can act only
through and with the library. board,

TO GOOD NAME
NOT INTENDED

him with having taken leased auto

moneys amounting to 1926, which was
to have been paid during the duration
Of the lease. Weigand also charges
that Charland drove the machine to
Browning, then to Conrad. where he
paid a repair bill for S136SO with a
check having the fictitious signature of
George Charldton," made by Char
land, with the intent of keeping his
identity unknown and to keep from
Weigand and authorities the fact that
he was going to take the car out of
the state. Weigand alleges that the
check was worthless.

Charland took from Great Northern
box car two automobile pumps, two
jacks and other tools and it is fur
ther alleged that Charland. at other
times, stole property from the railroad
company. Charland, according to the
answer, still has the automobile in

chine, Weigand asks that he be award
ed $7OO damages and his costs.
