PILLS WITH THE MAYORF. re seems to be a misapprehenaion | fn gome quarters as to the effect of the isapproval of bills by Mayors of cities efter the final adjournment of the Leg- isiature. Section 2, of Article XII., of the new! Constitution, says: “Special city laws hall not be passed except in conformity | with the provisions of this section.” ‘The provisions are that all special e!ty| Bills ehall be sent to the Mayor for a public hearing; they shal! be returned | within fifteen days to the Legislature, | accepted or rejected; if rejected or kept| by the Mayor beyond the fifteen days, | they may be, ugain passed and shall then be subject as are other bills to the action of the Governor; if accepted, they @re still subject to the Governor's ap-| proval or veto | If the session of the Legislature has terminated before the expiration of the fifteen days, the Dilla “shall” be re- turned to the Governor with the May-| or's certificate thereon, stating whether | the city has or has not accepted the same. This provision requiring the bills in fe hands of Mayors to be returned tu the Governor 1s necessary, because the accepted bills are still subject to the| ion of the Governor before they can become law The rejected bills stand in the same Position as if they had never been passed @t all, unless again passed after the re- fusal to accept. Gov. Morton 1s reported to have said: “The question arises whether the Exec- utive would presume to veto a bill ap- Proved by a Mayor if he has no right to approve a bill vetoed by a Mayor.” The Governor has a right to veto a Dill approved by a Mayor because the Constitution gives him that right by re- quiring the bill so approved to be sub- mitted to the Governor for his “action” that 1s, for his approval or veto, He has no right to approve a left-over bill that has been vetoed by a Mayor because such Dill has not been constitu. jtlonally passed by the Legislature, and ‘ hence is not properly before him for his action. -_ ;& BUSY DAY WITH “THE FINEST," Police Commissioners held an in- Geresting meeting yesterday, at which , Baawestions ‘were made relating to the {| Mere careful scrutiny of the character ! ®t persons proposed for inspectors of lection, poll clerks and ballot clerks, @n4 to the restoration to the fo of fen who had been retired or ‘denied heir rights” by former Police Boards, was determined that the order pro- members of the force trom be- Femaining members of any social club should be strict- and no evasions tolerated. parts of the Police Depart- was also considerable ac- The detective office reporters insisted upon calling him Prince Batter-pudding, he lived at a heap. hoter.. 24t 16 said He.einies‘hers to capture & millionaire American wife.
