To the Honorable the Common Council: Gentlemen.- I herewith return to you without my approval an ordinance uassed by your honorable body in council June 20, 1892, entitled "An ordinance relative to the closing of saloons, bars in restaurants and elsewhere." I assign my reasons therefor, as follows, to-wit: First. Because it is inconsistent with a wise and safe public policy to permit the transaction of business which is especially within pólice supervisión, by statute of the state, at an hour when that supervisión is most difficult to exercise. Second. Because very many of the citizens who are engaged in the liquor traffic have privately remonstrated with me against the passage of the ordinance in question, alleging that the tendency thereof is to compel them to keep their places open to the maximum limit of time permitted, thereby lengthening their liours of labor far beyond the bounds which a wise regard for the laws of nature and health imposes upon sane and reasonable men. The stress of competition rules the liquor trade as well as all the other occupations of men. Let us not f orce these unwilling toilers to prolong their labors for a livelihood far into the silent watches of the night, while the merchant, the mechanic and the laborer can or should quietly sleep, conscience clear in the thought that they have so divided the day that there are eight hours for labor, eight hours for sleep and eight for the service of God and their fellow men. , ,, Third. Because the interest 01 me city of Arm Arbor is coextensive and coexistent with that of the üniversity, and any action whicu your honorable body takes, which would tend in any degree to check or paralyze the growth and popularity of that great institution of learning, would be visited upon our city to its tenfold detriment of loss. lam conviuced that the scandal and disgrace which would attach to your liceusing midnight saloons in our city would spread and ramify to every sectionof the land, and loving and anxious parents in many a home both far and near would hesitate and refuse to commit their dearest and their best to the fosteriug care of a municipality which regarded so lightly the moral responsibility, which heavily rests upon the constituted authority of a college town. And lastly. My sense of duty, to the families of our own citizens who otherwise might be depriyed of the companionship and protection of fathers and husbands and brothers and sons during those hours of the night when the home should be their resting place and their delight, impels me to withhold my approval from the ordinance in question. In returning it to your honorable body with my absolute ' and unqualifled veto pemiit me to exm-ess mv sorrovv that your undue haste in pusliing the same to its passage, three readings at one session of an ordinance of so much irnportance, has led the uncharitable to suppose that y ou were over anxious and zealous tor its enactment. As for nryself I sliall indulge the thonght (and this rather from the tact that í know your honorable body to be more than usually highminded and sincere) that had you given the ordinance and all its bearings the delibérate attention its importance demands, had you passed it along the ordinary course of its readings and touched the popular pulse from time to time, as the ordinance pursued the orderly tenor of its way, you would never at the end have given it your sanction and approval. WlLLiAM G. Doty, Mayor. City of Ann Arbor. I Mayok's Office, June 24th, JS92. f To the Honorable tlie Common Council: I herewith return to you without my approval so much of the proceediifgs of your honorable body as relates to the following resolution passed at your last session. "By Alderman Wines: Resolved, That the Mayor is hereby instructed to order all side screens of whatever kind or nature in saloons in this city removed within ten days from this date." My reasons therefor are as follows: lst. Because it is incompetent for the Common Council to "instruct" the Mayor to act outside the sphere of nis official duty as prescribed by law. Neither the ordinances of this city nnr tlio af.at.llta luw nf this State 1'eDOSe in the mayor pólice functions with reference to "side screens, etc," in places where liquor is sold or kept for sale. The statiite regulating the liquor traffic expressly designates sheriffs, marshals, constables and pólice officers as the proper agents for lts enforcement. 2nd. Jiecause the principie ínvolvecl in the said resolution if acquieaced in would render gross interference with the executive prerogative possible it not probable at the hands of the legislative body. , , 3rd. Because if there were no legal o'bjection to the resolution the mayor of a city such as ours, perforniing nis proper functions, already almost burclensome, for a salary of one dollar per annum, owes it to his own self-respect, if not to that of the city and the othcc to object to and refuse the imposition of labors for the performance of which a pólice forcé isappointedandliberally paid. 4th. Because the resolution is uncalled for and gratuitous. For the Council, and certainly the mover of the resolution, ought to kuow if they do not. that the pólice of the city to the best of their limited numérica! ability are rigorously enforcing tbat section of the statute above reïerred to whicli requives the removal of curtains, screens, partitions or otlier things weich obstruct the view, during the hours prohibited by law, or bars or places in rooms where liquors are kept and sold; and thia witli the icquiescence and approval ot' all gooa citizens who are engaged in the trame which the statute legalizes and regulates. William G. Doty, Mayor. Aid. O'Mara moved that the communications froni the Mayor be laid on the table, to be taken up at our next regular meeting. On motion a recess was taken for five minutes. The motion of Aid. O'Mara was then lost by a yea and nay vote as follows: Yeas- Aid. Martin, Snow, O'Mara and Taylor.- 4. Nays- Aid. Wines, Schairer, Kitson, Prettyman and Pres. Cooley.- .5. Aid.

To the Common Council: Your Committee on Street to whom was referred the petition of John P. Lawrence and others, praying that the name of North street be changed and that said street be called Kingsley street or avenue, respectfully report that they have had the matter uuder consideration and would recommend that the prayer of said petition be granted and that the said North street be hereafter called Kingsley street. Your Committee would further recommend that the letter of Governor Felch, which accompanied said petition, be printed in full in the Council proceedings as a proper tribute to the chaiacter of the late Judge Kingsley. All of which is respectfully submitted, Chkistian Martin, W. L. Tatlob, L. D. Winks, W. G. SNOW, II. G. Pketttman, Street Committee. Ann Arbor, June 18, 1892. Hon. W. G. Doty, Mayor of the City of Ann Arbor: M y Deak Sik: I hand you herewith a petition addressed to yourself and the common council for a change of the name of North street to that of Kingsley avenue or street. It is signed by the residents and owners on that street, and I am informed that i the change is not only ardently desired by them, but that it would be highly gratifying to all whose attention has been called to the subject. This street, when the village was laid out in 1824, was the most northerly street on the plat and was therefore appropriately named North street, j But since that time the village has become a city and its boundaries extended far to the north of it, with additional streets and buildings, thusl rendering the original name of the street no longer in any sense appropriate, I am glad to see that the petitioners have chosen for the new name of the avenue or street, that of my honored ftiend now no longer with us, Hon. James Kingsley. He was one of the earliest and most active of the worthy pioneers of our city and no man had the respect of his fellow citizens more than he, and no man more richly deserved it. He held almost every office within the gift of his neighbors and fellow citizens. He was a member of the oíd territorial council from 1830 to 1833, and more than once a member of the state legislature, and was in the convention that diafted the present constitution of the state. In his own county he was supervisor and judge of probate. He was mayor of the city and a regent of the University. He was always active in advancing the interests of the city and the public. His inihience was feit in establishing the railroad system and obtaining the location of the Central road through our city, and from my associatiou witli him in the legislature of 1837, I can bear witness that no man in this locality did more to secure the location of the University in Ann Arbor than did Judge Kingsley. I think there is nothing of a permanent charaeter in our city which bears his name. He deserves a monument more enduring than we can give. Let us at least show that he is not forgotten in the city wliere his long and yiseful business life was spent, by giving to one of its avenues, in honor of his memory, the name of Kingsley. I hope the city authorities will look with favor oñ the application of the petitioners and will grant their request. Very respectfully yours, ALI'HEUS FeLCH. Aid. Prettyman moved that the report be accepted and adopted, which motion prevailed by a yea and nay vote as follows: Yeas- Aid. AVines, Schairer, Martin, Snow, O'Mara, Taylor, Kitson, Prettyman, Pres. Cooley - 9. Nays - Jione. SIDEWALK COAIMITTEE. Aid. Kitson moved that Kule J8 be suspended in order that the Siclewalk Committee can make report. Wliicli motion prevailed. To the Common Council: Your Sidewalk Committee, to whom was rei'erred the recommendation of the Board of rublic Woiks would recommend that tlie sum of $16Ü be appropriated from the Contingent Fund for the construction of a cement sidewalk in front of Firemen's Hall and that said walk in front of the doors be constructed with cedar blocks on cement or gravel foundation.
