Gentlemen
I herewith return
B of A Bill No 218 without my approval. I am
saatisfied that no such sum is needed and
any bills justly chargeable to the City for the
proper celebration of Independance Day can after
being audited by the Finance Committee of the
City Council be paid out of the general funds.
Respectfully Submitted

Mayor's Veto of H D Bill No 130
Seattle Wash Aug 3 1891
To the Hon House of Delegates
of the City of Seattle
Gentlemen
I herewith return without my ap-
proval House of Delegates Bill No 130 and
in accordance with the requirements of the
Charter, state my reasons:
The Bill is intended to
transfer from the water and sewer funds
the sum of $50,000 to the salary fund
I might have less objection to the transfer
if the money in question were to be
paid to the employees of the City
and to some extent relieve them of
the necessity of discounting their scrip
