RECORDER AND THE VETO
If He Has That Power It If of a Re
motely Infeiicd Chniacter in
the Ripper Bill.
It is not f,oueially known that the
ripper bill contains no piovlslon what
ever for the .etolng by tho lecordcr
ot any oidluanco or losolutlon patscd
bv councils.
It was at Mist thought that thla
was an ovei.sJght on tho pail" of Iho
fiamoM of the bill, but City Solicitor
A'osbiug and otheis who have tnlked
with some of the mot at dent llppei
ilcs at llairlsbtitg aio convinced that
It was an Intentional omission, the at
guiuent having been advamed that on
account of tho i out i. ilU.it lou of so
much cNCctttlvo power und losponsl
blllly in tlio h mils of tho lecoidor It
would not bo wise lo give that oll'clal
any legislative power.
llocoulor Molr Is liu lined to bollovo
tint complications will ensue lu nso
he i of uses to &igu an oidlnano" or
ic'Milutlon of councils. Ho believes
that to bet nine opeiutivo thoy will
have to tccclvo his slgnatuio, nnd ho
asscitn that If any tmasuie tails to
moot his approval ho will h.ivi ar ii
mallei nf cotuso to Mini It.
ity Solicitor A'osbuig stab d os
teiday to a Tilhtuic 'nan that as l w
as lie could see them U no jitovlslon
wlmtcver In the bill piovlding for tlvi
signing of .iiiv ouliiiniif'C or losolutlon
b.v the ice oitler. Tho pov.ir to sign Is
Iniplloil, ho thinks, but Inasmuch as
no provision Is made lor n olo It
would bo moi ol.v n f 'it mat act. Ho Is
inclined to bilcvo that If tho mcoidcr
i of uses to sign a measuio that it will
bo poifoctly valid without his slgna
uii .
Tho bill, hovvovci, contains ono pto
vllon which leads mary to bollovo
that It was Intended to Include a pin-
ivlslon foi a veto. This piovislon li
contained hi Aitlcle 1. Section .., and
mads as follow.
The city lccoulei may dlsappiove
of any Item or Items of any bill mak
ing appiopihitloiis, and tho pait or

appioved shall be Mild unless icpasscd

Them Is no piovislon In Iho act
which pi ov Ides f"i any veto, as men.
Honed above, but It is said that tho
