Council is given direct power to
fill the vacancy. If the Council
did have tho powor to authorize
unothor to act as u Municipal
Judgo for and in behalf of tho

peculiar situation of having two
persons with tho powers of a
Municipal Court at the same
time, for which your charter
makes no provision. So I would
