Office of the Mayor of the City of Seattle
August 20.1883
To the Common Council of the City of Seattle
Gentlemen: I return with my Veto Ordinance No. To
provide for construction of Sidewalks on Spring Street.
My first objection is that it fixes no defininte time for the completion of
the work. This ought to be done in all cases.

My second objection is that it departs from the provision of the general
Ordinance relating to improvements of a similar character, and in effect
amends the mode of procedure prescribed thereby. Section One of Ordinance
No. 318 provides that within 20 days after the passage of any Ordinance
for construction of any Sidewalks in any Street the City Surveyor shall
prepare and submit to the Council all necessary plans and specifications
and estimates for such improvements and that such plans, specifications
and estimates when approved by said Council shall be filed with the
City Clerk. The proposed Ordinance seems to dispense with the necessi-
ty of an approval by the Council of the plans etc and does not provide for
specifications and estimates. It has been customary to have
sidewalks constructed under the Supervision of and subject to the approval
of the Street Commissioner who is a salaried officer and whose services
are rendered at less cost to the City

H. G. Struve, Mayor

And now the Council proceeds to reconsider said Ordinance.
After due consideration said Ordinance is rejected upon the following
Vote, towit: In favor of the adoption of said Ordinance none. Against
adoption Clancy, Day, Harris, McDonald, Rasin, Ranke + Wusthoff

Ordered that the Judiciary and Legislative Comtee be + they are hereby
instructed to submit a proper Ordinance on the subject matter of the repealed
Ordinance.

From His Honor the Mayor returning an Ordinance entitled "To
provide for the appointment of two additional night Policemen"
without his approval and with his objections in writing to such approval,
which objections read as follows, towit:
