<br />The minutes of the regular meeting of February 21, 1961 were approved as corrected,
<br />The Mayor read the following letter addressed to Council signed by the Mayor dated
<br />March 3, 1961:.
<br />nAs Mayor of the City of North Olmsted, I disapprove Ordinance No. 61«31
<br />(an ordinance retaining Ward Boundaries after the Federal Census of 1960) and
<br />declaring an emergency, and hex+eby veto the same,
<br />The Council has not complied with the mandate set forth in the Charter to
<br />re~•district the City into four wards so as to have each ward as nearly equal in
<br />population as practicable. The Ordinance }ief~re me recites that the wards are as
<br />nearly equal in population as practicable; however, this is not substantiated by
<br />fact.
<br />Population of the existing wards as determined in the 1960 Census is as
<br />follows: Ward 1 *• 2,996; Ward II - 5,065; Ward III « 3,323; Ward 1V ~ l~,906,
<br />The population in the wards is unequal, as indicated by the Official
<br />Bureau of the Census report, as set forth above. In view of this, it is my
<br />opinion that the wards should, and can, be practicably equa7a.zed by shifting the
<br />borders of the individual wards. Each ward can be bounded by county lines
<br />streets, alleys, avenues, public grounds, canals, water courses, municipal corporate
<br />lines, or center lines of platted streets in said ward, as provided in ,Article IX,
<br />Section 7 of the Charter,
<br />Mrs. Nicholas is now here.
<br />Mr. Christman moved, seconded by Mr. Porter, that the Solicitor be directed to prepare

<br />to exceed X1500.00 with the G,L. Tarlton Co. negotiated by the Service Directors
