If. ss he had been led to understand. It was de sired to put In nomination for Police Commissioner, a gentleman who would succeed himself, he held that Coun U would have to rescind its former unan imous action declaring Police Commis sioners should not succeed themselves. Mr. Howard moved that the action of Connell alluded to, or so much of It sa declared lhat a Commissioner can not succeed htmself, be rescinded.

In view of th# action of Council already, and I beg to reply a* folio*-*: On September 6. IK9R. a committee of council, among other rhangp* neoemary to lie mode In con nection with the adoption of the new city code, reported concerning the Pp ltee Commlaeloners a* follow*: 1. That the election should he held. In January, and not In Oecember, aa prescribed b act of the t-eglalature. S. That « member “*hould not suc ceed himself,” and thla report of the committee of Council, was unanimous ly adopted. In answering this question, I say: (a). That the act creating the Board of Police Commissioners, having prescribed that the election should he held upon the last Wednesday In De cember, Council could not change the time of election without an act of the Legislature, sanctioning the same. 3 There la nothing In the legislative acts as they now exist, that says whether a member shall ov shall not be eligible, to 'succeed’ himself; cer tain other qualifications are prescribed, but the question of 'succession’ is left silent Council, therefore, by the unanimous adoption of the report of the committee, has put Itself on record as‘being opposed . as a matter of pub lic policy, to the eligibility of a Police Commissioner to succeed himself. And the only effect of the adoption of this declared public policy upon the part, of Council, by an act of the Legislature, would have been, to prevent the city 'council from changing this declared policy, except by an act of the Legis lature. i But the City Council Is. itself, a legis lative body: and where there Is no act of the Legislature declaring to the con trary. the adoption of the report of a committee becomes binding upon Coun |dl until the adoption of the report Ir I rescinded.

Mr. Barrett explained that City At torney Barrett was absent by leave. Mr. Phtnlsy rorroboftited this, saying that as Mr. Barrett’ and Mr. Carroll were absent. Mr. Davidson was there as ‘'my" repreaentatfve. Mr. Phlnlsy meant this as the m&yor protempore’s selection of attorney *fn the absence of the city attorney. Mr. Howard accep ted' the word "my" literally, and In ferred that Mr. Davl'dson was present us Mr. Jacob Phlnlsy‘s attorney. Mr. Howard said: “Then he Is not the rep resentative oT the city attorney? He is here us your attorney!" Then came confusion. Mr. Phlnlzy insisted that no one should be m sled —that he wanted to make It plain that, as mayor pro tempore, he had secured Mr. Davidson because Mr. Barrett and Mr. Carroll were out of the city. Mr. Howard humbly Insisted that he had been misled. "Now,” he said, "1 have my representative here. Let him be heard. There was further applause. Tr. sullivan’s Opinion Mr. Sullivan stated in substance, that he appreciated bis embarrassment In being called upon to pass upon a law question so suddenly sprung and without opportunity for investigation; a£ the same time he thought he recog nized the principle of law that govern ed the question and that that principle iof law being before his mind he thought that the mistake made by his 1 friend Mr. Davidson was in assuming j that the city council had any authority (Continued on Pago 3 ) | WANT M j At to ntema >*-» waa of *%* tertSSAA* . wm» Ate •#*’«* ww»* A mw #A *AAto j 'wag paw* #■*#* mmmm m* #«*»#■■* mm iiag w«mm p#w ems th* mi waas **wj ’*• A *i #-» **>## AWA p«A #> M»#»*a | **ApW"w*#*wri H Aa# Stews# o# te* wswiaw : ,toEw# m, wteAows swaAwm tolm* two* ' «M# *w a#* smto’te'AA *• wa to sorts- j ‘ Msg w*a et wa* tew#' »,W,««W>s»*o rthi# ] .
