Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Institutions of St. Louis: Where to Go, What to See A large electric sign containing the word Welcome extends above the Market Street entrance to the 'city Hall. It is emblematic of the reception that the municipality ex tends to strangers. The sign was erected during the cen tennial celebration oi St. Louis as an incorporated city in 1909. It means that strangers in the city as well as citizens are welcome, and that each official is anxious to extend every possible courtesy. From October 1 to the following April 1, the offices in the building are open from a. M. Until p. M. From the first of April to the first of the following October, all offices are open from 8 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon. All citizens or visitors desiring informa tion may obtain it in any of the departments. The suite of offices occupied by the Mayor are on the second floor above the Sign Welcome, and extend to the Twelfth Street side of the building. Under the provisions of the charter, the Mayor has general supervision over enforcement of the charter and ordinances in the city. He also is under oath to enforce all laws of the State. Because of the provisions of the ordi nances, the Mayor is the sole power, under whose direction special permits, not especially provided for through other departments, can be issued. Permits to parade, permits for automobiles to stand for hire in the streets, permits for necessary toolsheds and shelter houses in the construction of buildings, for pyrotechnic displays, etc., are issued under his direction.
