A simple statement of the facts is sufficient ‘Without argument to show the necessity of pt action in order, if possible, to prevent Former illegal and violent acts. ‘The Charter of }=20 and 1-23 requires that the Mayor sball, before he enters on the duties of iis office, in the presence of the Boards of Al- dermen and Common Council, in joint meeting. take an oath,&c.
