Curtis to the two-platoon amendment in the report of the board of finance and taxation, and author- ized the president pro tem. to intro- vote, the common duce a resolution at the city meeting | for a 4-10 mill the inauguration October, This budget and the pl the meeting calling for to provide of that system in “tion will bring the toon system before two weparate items two scparate votes Alderman J. F. Gill was called to the chair while Mayor Curtis pre- rerfed the following veto message *L herewith return to your honor- body, without my approval, the cstimates, appropriations, and t ns passed hy vour honorable body for the incoming, or fiscal year, - as amended and passed on the evening of Pebruary 16. One of the withholding my approval notwithstanding the board of fire commissioners stated in their report to your honorable body, that they did not think it was good judgment at «nt time to put into operation and that after had especially of finance and tax for as \ble reasons for is—that principal the pre the two-platoon sysem, your honorable body requested the board | taxation to recommend an appropria- | | tion for the purpose of putting it into the case being again to them by the chairman of the Wre commissioncrs and the mat- ter discussed by thosa who favored it—the report of the board of finance and taxation to your honorable body without including that appropriation was unanimously adopted by them of the fi that the be required to million dollars mor year than last simply to ecarry the routine work nand maintain different departments in fair shape without any additional im- provemens this year, the prevailing business depression which has re- in throwing thousands of peo of employment, or putting them part time, and that nearly always the great burden of taxation eventually comes down to the work- ing people—has caused a large amount of discontent unrest dissatisfaction in the large inc in the valuations of propérty, and prospects of belng obliged to heavier taxes; it would seem un- desirable to place a further burden, however small, on the taxpayers meeot next July if it can be avoided “Another reason is—that on a partial investigation. I am convinced there has been no =pecial study made as to how this proposal would operate; there has been showing how their plan would work out in the program advanced by the board of fire commissioners; there has been no discussion in the com- mon council as to how it would oper ite and it appears to me that 1t is unwise to appropriate mone yfot purpose that you do not know whether the amount is too largze or too small to carry it out. T Uelieve that some plan could be evolved which would give the firemen better ‘onditions and less time to work undery and still only a slight increas in the appropriations are require for the department. 1 recogniz the good work that the firemen do that they are a loyal body of and that they should, I believe, and that the public will be wilfing when shown, to do what is reasonable for their advantagp and comfort. “I would rdcommend that befora application is made for appropria- tions, or they are acted on at the city meeting, that some means be taken to investigate the operations of tic department with its present force with the allowance and time for cation, time off, pay, etc. as at pres ent constituted so as to more clearly determine as to what ‘s necessary to operation sented Ai#o in view x payers will over one-half this on the sulted ple out on va- bring about a shortening of the time | the firemen give to the city ““Anoth objection that T have—I think that on a matter of this im- portance in voting a proposed in- crease fixed charge for _ho year to come that the taxpayers will be obliged to meet sooner or later of $856.000, or more per year, should be brought up before the taxpayers at the city meeting, as a distinct propo- sition; as an amendment to the es- timates and appropriations that will be presented there, for the carrymg on the city government for next year. The taxpayers should have an op- portunity to discuss it withou! other questions being involved, and Il they deerp it wise after that opportunity to add it as a change or amondment to the budget as presented, it will be their responsibility, not ours, if the burden is too heavy, or the change does not meet their expectations. “I propose to take up the question of firemen's service shortly with the board of fire commissioners, and I am strongly of the opinion that until more is known and understood about the work of the department, that no further increased appropriation should be allowed. “Respectf: b g itted, 8, Mayor.” hg*the | ning at x rate | pre- | pay | and. to | no definite | men | | Mayor Curtis said, and would cost but $156,000.
