The following veto message from the Mayor was read:
"Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester
Gentlemen:
I am returning your resolution of'January 3rd., 1949 appropriating
$8,827.00 from the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund and ordering
payment made to the General Fund of the City of Rochester to
reimburse the said General Fund for payment made from the General
Fund to Leon Joyce for,grading streets and avenues in Manley's
Sub -division, with my veto attached.
As I stated in my original veto of a resolution to pay Leon Joyce
out of the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund, it is my firm
conviction that .every provision of the Charter. covering assessments
for public improvements as well as Article 1, Section 13 of,the
Constitution have been utterly disregarded. and therefore a
transfer of funds from the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund
to the General Fund for the purpose stated in the resolution is
as illegal as paying Leon Joyce directly, out of the Permanent
Improvement Revolving Fund.
Signed,
CLAUDE H. MC gUILLAN
Mayor of Rochesteru'
