MAYOR HAS NOT AUTHORITY Hands Tied by Ordinance and Oiroumatancei Against Increasing Police, HIS ANSWER TO ALDERMAN BOYER'S PLEA Will Not Sign Sixth Street PnTlntr Ordinance Until Court Have De cided Legal Polnln That Are No it Pending. In written communications to tbe city council last night Mayor Jennings gavo his reasons for not appointing a mounted policeman for tho western portion of the city and for not signing the South Sixth street paving contract, both of which be had been Instructed by tho council to do. Doth communications set out bis reasons at length. In tho matter ot his refusal to appoint a mounted policeman for tho outlying rcsl denco portion of the city Mayor Jennings first called attention to tho fact that the city ordlnanco provides that the police force shall not exceed fourteen members, out of which shall bo appointed tho chief, in addition to the marshal and three dopu ties, but gives tho mayor In case of emer gency power to appoint such extra men as he may deem necessary, Continuing be eald: Tho number of deputy marshals was fixed ''o'ptioM of the city council In April. .? I' 'breo, but as tho revenue of the city decreased and tho appropriation for the maintenance of the police and marshal's department won roduced In 18S9 It was deemed better to reduce the number of deputy marshals than to curtnll the police force, and so the police forco was main tained at the original number of fourteen and the deputy marshals reducud to two. In order to more fully pollco tho city one of the deputy marshals acted as captain of pollco and. In reality the reduction of the appropriation for tho maintenance of these departments has reduced tho number of deputy marshals to one, only In case of emergency the other, tho present captain of police, doing deputy marshal servlc. All this has been accomplished and tho efficiency of the police rorco maintained and kept within the appropriation only by the practice of strict economy. I have endeavored to savo a small amount each month out of the appropriation to uso In case of emergency. If an epidemic of contagious disease should occur It would take all of the appropriation made for this year to carry us through it. Jfo Rraaon for a Change, After referring to tho fact that It has not been tbe policy of the department to police tho outlying districts ot the city, for want of funds, exoept by special policemen serving without expense to tho city, the mayor concludes as follows: From the above I think your honorable body will see that even with tho concur rence of the council In ihn rennrt nf th committee I did not have the power to uppolnt an extra policeman, ns, in my judg ment, thftro was no can nf unmrnncv and the full quota of policemen had been tppoinicu una no more couia De appointed for regular duty until your honorable body had urovlded for their annolnlmont hv mi. sngn of an ordinance Increasing tho number oi inn ponco iorco. iiaving Dy law tne control and direction of the police force and belnar Dorsonnllv re.inonnlhl fnr ii efficiency. I could not In Justice to myself or tho Interests of tho city remove any of the present forco to another beat, as It would leavo tho center of tho city, the lo cality requiring protection, unprotected. At tho uresent I hco nn rhAtin-Kl mnril tlons that wnrrant the extra expenditure and being made by law a conservator of the Seace and also having tho control and Ircctlon of the notice forco. I thlnV It would have been proper to refer this matter to me tor an opinion ana report on tho same beforo the taking of any action by II1C CUUIIUII. Concerning; the raving Ordinance. The communication regarding his refusal to sign the Sixth street paring contract gave five reasons why ho thought It best not to comply with the instructions of the council, as follows: First The Omaha Ik Council Bluffs Sub urban llway company, owning the two street railway tracks on Sixth street, docs not Intend to use Sixth street In the use of Its line. Some months nirn It hnnrnii In r.i. move said tracks, but was enjoined by a cltlxen and taxpayer from removing the same, which Injunction suit Is still pending in win I'uun. Second When tho contract for tho paving of Sixth street was lot by the city council said street railway company served written notice on the city council that It would not pay any port of the expenso ot said paving for the reason that it did not Intend to me said street for railway purposes and would remove Its tracks as soon as It would be permitted to do so by the court. Third If the street railway company could be forced to pay its portion of the paving the expense of the balance of the paving could no doubt bo assessed against the abutting property, but without such payment by the atreot railway company the whole cost of the paving of the street would exceed the benefits accruing to a great deal of tho property on said street and would exceed 25 per cent of the actual value of the same, and the result would be that a greet Sortlon of the expense of the paving of Ixth street would havo to be paid out of funds derived from general taxation. Woill Stick the City. Fourth If the paving should be put down and the portion between tho tracks and one foot on tho outside thereof should bo as sessed up to the street railway company, and the court should finally determlno that suld street railway company had a right to removo Its tracks and that tho railway com pany would not be liable for such assess ment, then all of the cost levied aeulnnt the railway company would have to be provldud for In some other way, and It Is a question as to whether or not the city could assess nny portion of It against abutting property after the assessment for the street Im provement had already been made and cer tified. Fifth In the event that the court should decide that said street rallwuy company should have the right to remove Its tracks after the pavement hud been put down and assessed It might he posslhlo that the rail way company wouia not uo rcquirou to re place the paving, and In that ovent the city would be nt an extra expensn of luylng tho puvlng between the tracks twice. In view of these uncertainties and the probability If tho puvlng Is put down of subjecting the city In general to great an noyance and a burdensome expense, In my Judgment the contract for paving Sixth street should not be signed until the litiga tion In regard to the railway company's possession of said street Is finally deter mined by the courts. The city has had notice from said railway company that It does not desire or Intend to use Sixth street for street railway purposes, and If the courts decide that said railway company has a right to removo Its tracks therefrom It Is questionable whether or not the city could forco It to nay any exnenso result ing from the lavlnc down of the uavlne on said street. Consequently, I do not think, bb a business proposition, that tho city Our Armored Cruiser Shoe For Boys' Wear Filled with CHILLED STEEL CIR CLETS, which protect the bottom and usBure tho wearer double the service of uny shoe made for boys. SARGENT. Sign of the Bear. ought to enter Into any contract for the paving of said street until the questions beforo the court aro finally determined. The communications were ordertd re ceived and placed on file after Mayor Jen nings had explained that he bad no Inten tion to veto tho Sixth street paving con tract, but only desired that the matter be delayed until the pending litigation In which tho motor company is involved bo out ot tho way. City and Car Service. City Solicitor Wadsworth submitted his opinion as to tho right ot tbe city to com pel tho motor company to furnish the serv ice demanded by residents in the south part of town living along tho Manawa line. Ills opinion was to the effect that thero Is no question but that the city has a right to demand of a street car company that It run trains frequently enough to accommo- dato tho general traveling public and with certain limitations the council would havo authority to require tho motor company to increase tho number of trains on the part of tho lino asked for In the petition filed with the council. In case, however, tho traffic would bo insufficient to remunerate tho motor company the courts would likely, he hold, rule such a demand on the part of tho city unreasonable. No action was taken on tho petition and the opinion of the city solicitor was ordered placed on file. Tho city clerk called attention to tho fact that he was prepared to publish tho ad vertisement for bids for tho asphalt pav ing, but that the council had failed to de termine tho date by which tho contracts should bo complotcd. In the absenco of Alderman McDonald, tho matter was laid over until tho next meeting. Tho special commlttco which hud tho matter In hand reported that tho County lloard of Supervisors had agreed to remit tho penalties duo on the city properly and that tho county treasurer bad been In structed to accept tho taxes, less the pen alties. The total amount duo on city prop erty was 92.065 and the remission of the penalties will reduce this about 40 per cent. The taxes wero ordered paid and the city auditor Instructed to draw warrants for the same on the general Improvement fund. Alderman Lougeo's ordinance fixing the price of electric lighting was Introduced and referred to tho committee of tho wholo. Lougeo explained that the ordinance sim ply Intended to regulato tho prices charged by the old company pending such time as the Bluff City Electric Light and Gas com pany would be prepared to commenco busi ness. The Willow Springs Brewing company was given permission to conduct saloons at 613 and 1021 West Broadway. Regulation for Minors. Colonel Hogeland addressed tho council on behalf of two ordinances which ho sub mitted for 'passage. One ordlnanco Is to prevent the Incarceration of boys and girls under 18 years of ago with old and hard ened criminals, and tho other Is to re quire the chief ot police to apprehend all tramping or vagrant boys and girls who might bo found lounging about railway depots or yards, places of amusement and elsewhere. Both proposed ordinances wero referred to the city solicitor. Attorney George Hewitt submitted a proposition to sottle two suits pending against the city which are assigned for trial In the district court this week. One involving a lot on the south sldo of Broad way, a portion of which Is cut off from access to Indian crook, he offered to sottlo by tho city buying the cut-off triangle for 100. Tho other suit Is for damage to a dwell ing n-nd bv tho State Lud Improvement company at 1303 Avenue B from tho over flow of Indian creek In 1899. This suit ho offered to settle tor 1100. tho actual cost of repairs to thebulldlng and prem ises. Both propositions wero referred to tho Judiciary commltteo and the city so licitor with power to act In tho second ono. The ordinances providing for the ap pointment of a ctty electrician nad plactmt alll electrical construction under his con trol wero brought up, but after somo dis cussion again laid over. Aldormnn Boyer opposed them on tho ground that tho rv.nii rinrlvnd from tho fees Imposed undor tho second ordlnanco would be In sufficient to defray the additional expenses tho city would Incur under tho Orst. Tho council adjournod to meet Monday night, a meeting of the committee of the whole to bo held prior to the regular ses sion. Gravel roofing. A. 11. Read, 541 Broadway.

Fogarty against Sam Olson of llartlngton, Neb., to recover $200 on an alleged contract for the sale to tho defendant of fruit troes was commenced In tho superior court yester day beforo Judge Aylesworth.

Nelson alleges that when ho applied to tho agent for the return of tho order, thn latter told him ho had sent It In with tho other orders ho had obtained.
