OMMUNKATION
By the Mayor. '
- To the Common Council of the City of
La Grande:
Questions have repeatedly arisen as to
the authority, jurisdiction or .duties of
the Mayor and council, and of the subor
dinate officers of the city. These duties,
powers and authority are fully defined
and set forth in the Chapter, ordinances,
resolutions, rules, regulations and special
orders of the council. The charter and
laws of the state of Oregon cannot be
recinded, abridged, amended or repealed
by any act of the council. An ordinance
passed in conformity with the Charter
suspends or repeals all resolutions, rules
or orders of the council that may confljqt.
with it.
In the order of the rank n authority
of law and the acts of the Council they
stand in relation to eah .ther as follows:
1st The. Charter and laws of Oregon.
2nd. Ordinarsoes of the oity. Sd. Stand
ing Rules. 4th. Resolutions. 5th. Adopt
ed motions or orders.
In a Republican form of . Government
we have the three general divisions viz:
Legislative, Executive and Judical, with
the military subordinate to the civil pow.
er, and the police subordinate to the ex
ecutive. The legislative branch only has aLthor
ity when in session.
The executive authority is vested in one
person, and all other officers are subord
inats in the administration of the law,
The judicial interprets the law for the
other two, while it in turn is bound by
the fundamental law of the state.
In our city gove nment we have a
blendi g or doubling up of the duties of
and functions, which if not fully under
stood is apt to cause confusion.
. The mayor is member of the council
and its pr;ding officer, while members
and commi.uas of the council often act
in an administrative capacity, and tho
police judge acts as clerK of the council,
auditor and collector of revenues.
The branch of the city government are
co-ordinate when the council is in session
when the Miyor acts as executive and
when the Recorder presides over the
police court
The Council's powers are supreme,
when acting within its chartered author
ity, by a majority vote except in case in
of a veto which requires a two thirds
vote.
Members of the council and its com
mittees, and the elective ai d appointive
officers of the city are subordinate to the
Mayor in the excution of the law, "
The Judge of pslice court is not subor
dinate to either of the other departments
when court is in session.
Delegated authority cannot be redele-
gated. nor can a coun;il confer Ugsa.i.e
or administrative powers on its me.nbers
or its committees. Committees and mem
bers may act under instructions and ac
cording to law. but must aiways report
back to the council, and their acts must
be ratified and appnved by tne council or
they have no binding force, cr authority.
In no part of the Charter is any authority
delegated to the council otiie,' than legis
lative. The work of the-committees is ail
presumed to be preparatory ork in shap
ing matter in their hands to be acted
upon by the council when In itssion.
When Committees or me-nbers do act
in an administrative capacity they are
subordinate to the execut v the same as
the executive is subordmato to tne coun
cil when in session.
The same rules of business that are
practiced by a well managi 1 private cor
poration is the proper meih' d of ru nina
tne City's business. The organ'mon
are similar: the board i.i vi i tutors cor
responds with the counc i, tne presi dent
with the mayor, the ricrdcr witn the
secretary the treasurer wn-i ti,e treasurer.
Directors -only act in t :cr collective
capacity the sa ma as t ic ojtmoil. Tne
president is the adrnmis:.rat;v he d so i$
the mayor. The sup' rintt'idanls and
foremen of a private cor.j.r.ti ji are the
same as the City's upe:i..u.idenU and
chiefs of departme.iU. .... orders for

quisitions are sent in to the head office by
the chief of each department for such
supplies of material that may be needed,
and all orders issued to the public are on
record in the general office of the com
pany. The City's bussiness should be run t
least as good . s a private concern. The
recorder is designate as auditor of the
city and it is his duty to sign all orders
wh ch may be counter signed by an offi
cer in charge of the work or the chair
ir.ir, cf the c.:ttc5 ur.dcr v.'hc;; de
partment the work is being dona for
amounts within $100.00. Above that a
special ordinance and contract is required
to be signed by the mayor and attested
ty the recorder, or tha City is not bound
QQ5r4in to seotjon 28 of tha Charter.
Custom or usage, ia accepted as the
proper lu.le of conduct by the people deel
ing with each other as natural persons,
but when a person created by law, in the
shape of a public or private corporation,
enters into, contracts and conducts busi
ness, it can only act within its chartered
powers, and by and through its legally
elected or appointed officers.
. Custom or usage in the conduct of the
City's business is not binding on the City
where said custom is in violation of law,
or where ordinances, resolutions, rule or
special orders are in conflict with the
Charters they are of no avail.
