submit an Ordinance therefor.

From His Honor the Mayor returning an Ordinance entitled "To
provide for changing grade on Fourth Street" without his approval
and with his objections in writing to such approval, which objection
read as follows, towit:

Office of the Mayor of the City of Seattle
Aug. 20. 1883
To the Common Council of the City of Seattle
Gentlemen - I return without my approval Ordinance
No. to provide for changing the grade of Fourth Street passed by your
body August 17.1883. My objections go to the form and not to the
substance of the Ordinance. Ordinance No. 383 establishes certain
grades in the City of Seattle. The object of the proposed Ordinance is to
amend the Section of Ordinance No. 383 by changing the grade as
fixed by that Section. Section 79 of the City Charter provides that no
Ordinance or Section thereof shall be revised or amended, unless
the new Ordinance contain the entire Ordinance or Section reviewed;
and the Ordinance or Section so amended shall be repealed. It is
obvious that this requirement in the Charter has been disregarded.

Another objection is the proviso that this Ordinance shall "be in force
at and after the passage of the same. It being an Ordinance of a
general and permanent nature, it is required by Section 80 of the Charter
to be published and that it shall take effect and be in force at the expir-
ation of five days after it has been published.

When these defects are supplied by a new Ordinance, I see no
reason why the same should not be approved.

H. G. Struve Mayor

After due consideration said Ordinance is rejected upon the following
Vote, towit: In favor of the adoption of said Ordinance none. Against
