To the Mayor and Common Council: At the tírst National Convention of Mayors and Councilmen, held at Cohaubus, Ohio, September 28 to Ootob-r 1, there were present 418 delegares, representing 101 cities in 23 different states. At this conventioa.a. permanent organization was formed to be known as the League of American Munieipalities, and a copy of the constitution adopted is sent herewith. You will observe f rom the constitution that the object of the organization is to improve the administraron of municipal work in all departments by the folio wing means: First- The perpetuation of the organization as an agency for the co-operation of American munieipalities in the practical study of all questions pertaining to municipal administration. Second - The holding of anuual eonventions for the discussion of contemporaneous municipal alïairs. Third- The establishment and maintenanee of a central Bureau of Information for the collection, compilation and dissemination of statisties, reports and all kincis of information relative to municipal government. The Bureau of Information, which will be started at once, will íurnish a service of incalculable valué to rnunicipalities holding rnembership. To this Bureau each rnuuicipality will furnish all published public reports, and thus a complete and reliable Iibrary of municipal reports will be established, from ■which the secretary is required to furnish all infomiation requested by members. The Bureau will also gather, compile and disseminate special information pertaining to all lines of municipal work, such as street lighting, paving, water supply and rates, water filtration, street cleaning and garbage disposal, flre and pólice departments, salaries aud wages of municipal officials and employés, taxes and special assessments, municipal finance, sevverage, and, in fact, everything of interest and value to city officials in the discharge of their duties. In this connectiou the Bureau will undertake to promptly supply niunicipalities holding membership special reports on any and all subjects upon which information is requested. The establishment of this Bureau will bring to the service of the municipalities of Americe a reliable, economical, methodical and rapid medium tor the interchange of statistics, experience and knowledge pertaining to all branches of municipal work. At the annual conventions of the League, to which every city is entitled to send its mayor and as mauy members of its couiicilmanic board as it desires, all the important questions involved in municipal work will be discussed by expei ts and officials of experience. These discussions cannot fail to aid city officials in ihe work of giving and securing better municipal service. The means furnished by this League, through its Bureau of Information and its annual conventions, for the careful study of the great and growing question of municipal ownership of public service industries, cannot be lightly estimated. The unanimous sentiment of the Columbus convention, which was a lepresentative body and which planned and formed the permanent organization, was that the League of Amercan Municipalities would be promptly and cordially supported by the patriotie officials of American mvnicipalities as a movement for the betterment of municipal conditions, with the inevitable results of facilitating departmental work, securing improved public services and lesseni Dg the burden of the taxpayers. As to the membership the constitution of the League says: ■Any municipality in the lAiited States or Canada may become a membef of this organization. "Each and every municipality becoming a member of this organization shall pay an anrual membership fee, on or bef ore December 1, as follows: Cities under 25,000 population, $20; between 25,000 and 50,000, $30; between 60,000 and 100,000, $40; between ]00,000 and 200,000, $50; over 200,000, $B0." The Executive Committee invites your city to become a member of the ! League of American Municipalities and assures you that the benefits to be derived.from membership will be worth many times the amount of the annual dues. The committee submits herewith a resolution for the consideration of your councilmanic body and prays ! for its adoption, or the passage of any other form, suitable to local conditions, for the same puipose.

Chairman Cady presented an ordinance entitled ''An Ordinance Relative to Livery, Feed and otlier Barns," which was given its third reading by sections and placed on its passage. To the Honorable the Common Council: Gentlemen: - Your ordinance committee has asked me for an opinión regarding the validity of an ordinance now before them entitled, "An Ordinance Relative to Livery, Feed and other Barns." Under the charter the city has power to regúlate and abate nuisances. If it can be snown tñat a livery stable, or any other is maintained in such a manner so as to be injurious to the public health, the city through. its board of health may order it cleaned, or they may file a bill in chancery to abate the nuisance as was done in the Foundry Water Pond case. The weight of authority in this country holds tbat a livery stabie is not a nuisance per se, or in itself, though. it may become a nuisacce if not conducted, kept and used in a proper manner. In the case of Phillips vs the city of Denver, 41st Americau State Reports, at page 230, where its charter provisions relative to nuisances are broader than those contained in our own, the courtsays: "The power conferred is not sutiiciently specific Or definite to warrant such unrestrained municipal legislation aft'eeting private property. The grant of power to regúlate lawful occupations and business places is cercainly not an express grant of power to lócate or prescribe the limits of carrying on lawful occupations upon private premises. The grant of power to regúlate and prevent the carrying on of business dangerous or detrimental to public health, and to declare, prevent, or abate nuisances, is not to be construed as vesting the city council with authority to prohibit, at their discretion, the existance of well-constructed, well-regulated1, and well-conducted livery stables." Ordinances of the kind in question, t.nough not strictly criminal, are highly penal, and cannot, unless free from legal and constitutional objection, be permitted to predudice the rights and privilges of the citizen in respect to the use and enjoyrnent of bis private property." The city certainly caniiot enforce the ordinance now under eonsideration for the reason that it prohioits the erection and maintenance of livery stables in certain blocks and discrimínales and for that reason is clearly void. Very respectfully, Thos. D. Keakney, City Att'y. Whereupon the question was, "Snall this ordinance pass?" Lost as foilows : Yeas- Aid. Grossman, Koch, Sweet, Soule. - 4. Nays- Aid.

To the Common Council: Your Committee on Lighting would recommend that an electric light be ordered placed at the corner of Hill and Lincoln ave, also at the corner of Tappan and Oakland ave and also on Washtenawave midway between South University ave and Hill. And f urther your Committee would recommend that the pole light at the corner of Willard and Forest ave be swung across the street, and that the light at the corner of Main and Kingsley streets be moved two f eet south, the work to be done at. the expense of the New State Telephone Co.

Continued from Precediug Page. Tü the Common Council. your Comm'ittee on Lighting have I made a thorough inspection of the sysiem of street lighting in our city and ! would report that they have found the me in an extremely poor eondition. The capacity of the plant is far from sufficient to supply power for the number of lights used. None oí the Hffhts have been up to the standard as required by the contract for months There are 106 are street lamps many of which are on poles 60 feet high. One man is supplied by the Ann Arbor Electric Co to lower the lights or climb the poles and clean and trim the same besides driving froin one light to the other. less than six minutes to each lamp. Tüe actual workings of the Hghts and common sense proves this iinpossible. Y our Committee would recommend that the Ann Arbor Electric Co. be ordered, within ten days to raise the standard of their lamps to the requirernents of the conlract, that is "not less than 9.6 amperes of current and from 46 to 50 volts between the earbons". Your Committee would recommend that an expert be employed to examine the Hghts from time to time and see that the same conform to the contract. And further that a eertilied copy of this resolutions be served on the Ann Arbor Electric Co. And further that no bill be allowed the Ann Arbor Electric Co. until the lights are up to the standard.
