PREFACE. This compilation of the ordinances was ordered •»> the coun- cil in ili* 1 spring of 1904. Since the last preceding compilation of ls!>s the city and county of Denver had been created consoli- dating eight municipal organizations. The work of compilation lias been exceedingly onerous, there having been seventeen muni- cipal organizations included in what is now Denver, and there having been about 2,000 ordinances passed by Denver and Un- consolidated towns since the last compilation. After this compilation had been completed it was deemed wise to codify the ordinances of a general nature and arrange them alph -etically under the name of the principal subject treated and to m>ake such changes as were demanded by The crea tion and the adoptio of the carter and such further changes as the experience of the various heads of departments deemed neces- sary or wise in the conduct of their respective departments. All ordinances granting franchises and special privileges will he published in a separate volume. It is believed that this arrangement, together with the run- ning headings at the tops of pages, will greatly facilitate the use of the book both by lawyers and the administrative officers of the y and county. Errors and omissions will undoubtedly he found, but we st they will be few and of comparatively minor importance. If this work proves reasonably satisfactory to those who are called upon to use it most, we shall feel amply repaid for our labors. C. W. VARNUM, J. FRANK ADAMS.

XV HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER. The first white man within the limits of the presenl Btate of Colorado was probably Vasquez de Coronado, who is sup posed 1<> have crossed the south easl corner of the state in L541, in his search for the fabulous citj of Quivira. Jn L682 the whole country west of the Mississippi was claimed by La Salle for France and named Louisiana. In 1739. a party of Frenchmen passed over the presenl site of Denver. In 1740. an unsuccessful attempl was made i».\ the Spanish to establish permanent settlements on the Arkansas river. April 30, L803, Louisiana was sold by France to the United Slates. November 15, 1806, Pike's Teak was discovered h\ an explor- ing party under command of Lien tenant Zebulon Pike. March 26, L804, that portion of the Louisiana purchase north of the state of Louisiana was organized as the "hist rid of Louis iana" under the jurisdiction of Indiana territory. March 3, 1805, the "District of Louisiana" was organized as the "Territory of Louisiana.*' and on June 4. 1812, the name was changed to the "Territory of Missouri." In 1821, .Missouri was admitted as a state leaving that part of the Louisiana Purchase westward unorganized, until ls:U when Congress enacted that all the territory wesl of the Missis- sippi river except Louisiana. Missouri and Arkansas should be deemed Indian country and attached partly to Arkansas and partly to .Missouri for administrative purposes and the enforce meiii <>}' criminal law. In 1854 by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill the Ter- ritory of Kansas was organized. Arapahoe county was nominally organized by the territory of Kansas in L855, the lirst election being held in L856 for a representative t<» the Kansas legislature. There was bui one election precinct and hut thirteen i L3) votes were cast. The first collection of white-men's dwellings in all this "Colo- rado region" was at "Montana City," which was established in the summer of L858 in that part of the city bounded l»\ Wes1 XV] HISTORICAL SKETCH. Evans, South Tremonl and West Hill' streets and the Platte river, tun abandoned upon the establishment of Auraria and Denver, in the fall «»t' the same year. The tirsi white-man's house in what is now the city and county of Denver was probably at Montana City, but the first permanent residence in the settlemenl at the junction of Cherry creek and the Platte river, from which Denver really grew, was the double cabin erected in 1858, by a trapper named John S. Sin i ill ;iik1 the Russell boys, who spent the winter in it. The first attempt at the establishment of a town site was on September 24, L858, when the town of St. Charles in "Arapahoho county, Kansas territory." was established on the east bank of Cherry creek, now know as East Denver. On November 1st of the same year. Anraria City was founded on the west bank of Cherry creek with ostensibly 100 incorporators. November 17, St. diaries having been abandoned, the site was taken possession of by General William Larimer and his party of 41, who or- ganized the Denver Town Company and changed the name to Denver after General dames W. Denver, then Governor of Kan- sas territory. A town named "Highland" was also established on the west hank of the Platte and the three "cities" were consolidated as the "City of Denver, Anraria and Highland" on December 19, L859, by an act of the "Territory of Jefferson," acquiesced in by the people of all three "cities," a community of interest having been doubtless established by the building of a bridge across Cherrj creek at Larimer street, the first "public improvement" in Denver. The first city election was held December 19, 1859, John C. Moore being elected mayor. A characterically original at- tempt w;iv made the same year to organize the "Territory of Jefferson" and two sessions of its legislature were actually held, but "ii February 28, L861, the territory of Colorado was organized with William Gilpin as its first governor, the officers of the "Ter- ritory of Jefferson" gracefully surrendering to the inevitable. All governmental acts up to this time were technically il- legal and tin- tirsi charter of the city of Denver was granted li\ the territorial legislature November 7. 1861, C. A. Cook, being elected mayor. The charter was amended from time to time, particularly in l s ^.".. providing for a board of supervisors elected at large, in i vx !i. providing r<»r a board of public works of three members, to be appointed by the governor, in 1891, providing for a fire and police board of three members, to be appointed by the governor, HISTORICAL SKETCH.

In idol', article 20 of the Constitution creating the citj and county of Denver was adopted and under its authority the peo- ple of the city approved a new charter March 29, L904. The capital of Colorado was established a1 Central City in is<;i, ai Golden in is<;i\ and at Denver in 1868. Colorado was admitted to the Union August 1.

Denver's past is but a hint of the promises of the future. She is picturesquely located, her buildings are harmoniously con- structed of brick and stone, her climate is unrivalled. She is the legal and commercial capital of a state of limit- less resources and of infinite possibilities, her people are ener- getic, enthusiastic and untiring, and they will never permit her natural advantages to be neglected or marred, and however large she may grow she will always be fondly remembered as Denver. the beautiful.

Constitutional Amendment — Presumptions. 1. AN'lici-t- an amendment to the constitution is attacked after its ratification by the people, every reasonable presump- tion, both of law and fact, is to be indulged in favor of its val- idity. Constitutional Amendments — Legislative Journals. 1'. Where a proposed amendment to the constitution was introduced in the senate and before final passage was amended by striking out certain words and inserting the word "and," but the amendment did not materially change the meaning, and as it passed the senate was transmitted to the house, and the house journal shows that no amendment was made or offered in the house and that it was not returned to the senate after its passage in the house, but when it was entered in full upon the house journal, by mistake it was entered as it was originally introduced in the senate, and the house journal itself shows that the differ- ence between the entries of the two houses was due to a clerical error, and it was enrolled and signed by- the presiding officers of both houses and published in I lie session laws as it was passed, the constitutional provision requiring proposed amendments to the constitution to be entered in full upon the journal of each house 1 was satisfied, and it is not invalid because of said differ- ence in the journal entries of the two houses. Constitutional Amendments — Consolidation of City and County. 3. A constitutional amendment consolidating a city and county government into one and providing that tin 1 people of the city and county shall adopt a charter which shall provide for the election or appointment of all officers of the city and county and shall designate the officers who shall perform the acts and duties required by the constitution and general laws to he done by conn- ?:><> APPENDIX NO.

Same — Future Contingencies — Adoption of Charter. 4. A constitutional amendment consolidating a city and county government into one and which authorizes the people of the city and county created to make a charter for their govern- ment is not invalid on the ground that it is dependent on future contingencies. Constitutional Amendments. 5. Under the provisions of the constitution authorizing iiincndments the article providing for such amendments may be amended. Constitutional Amendments — Reasonable Doubt. 6. Unless the court is satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the constitution has been violated in the submission of a con- stitutional amendment, the amendment must be upheld. Constitutional Amendments — New Articles. 7. An amendment to the constitution may be proposed by the legislature and adopted, by the addition to the constitution of a new and separate article. Constitutional Amendments — Limitation of Amendments to Six Ar- ticles. s. The provision of section -, article 19, of the constitution thai amendments to not more than six articles of the constitu- tion shall he proposed at the same session of the legislature, ap- plies to express amendments and not to implied or incidental amendments or modifications of other articles of the constitution than the one expressly amended. Constitutional Amendments — Several Subjects. 9. A constitutional amendment may embrace more than one subject. Same — Separate Submission. 10. If a constitutional amendment embraces several sub- jects all of which are germane to the general subject or purpose SYLLABUS OF SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The Attorney General v. Johnson. Constitutional Limitation — Amendment — Exemption of Territory from Provisions of Constitution — Municipal Matters. 1. The people cannot by amendment to the constitution free any portion of the state from the operation of any part of the constitution, nor vest in the citizens of any portion of the state power to legislate upon matters other than those purely local and municipal. Same — City and County of Denver — Authority of Charter Conven- tion. 2. Under article XX of the constitution the charter con- vention of the city and county of Denver in its authority to legislate is limited to matters purely local and municipal in their character. It has no authority to legislate upon any sub- ject whatever, in contravention of any provision of the constitu- tion, relative to governmental or state matters, or to county or state offices and officers. Same — County Judges. 3. The provisions of the charter of the city and county of Denver, adopted March 29, 1904, increasing the number of judges of the county court to two and changing the time of election of such judges, are invalid and inoperative, and one elected to fill the additional office provided for by said charter is not entitled to hold and exercise the office of county judge of the city and county of Denver. 34 Colo., p .
