Proctor, who had held the office for a number cf years, has recently resigned. Veto Is Sustained. The mayor's veto of ordinance N. 659, which provided for an Increase of the salary of city attorney from $75 to $123 per month In view of the added work that would devolve upon that office by reason of the municipal railroad construction was sustained. The technical reason given in the veto message for the disapproval of the ordinance was that the proposed law carried an emergency clause, and th. charter provides that salary increases can not become effective for thirty days after the enactment of the ordi nance. A second ordinance bearing on the same subject, but leaving the Increase of salary optional with the council, Is still in the mayor's hands unsigned. DR. JOSLF.N MUST ANSWER SERIOUS CHARGE.
