At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening, a resolution wus
passed changing the rem ling of the
city election notice from "three coun
cilmeu for a period of two years and
one councilman for u period of one
year" to read "three couucilmcn for
a period of two years" The council
bus passed that when a vacancy is
created it has the power to fill that
vacaucy over the next general election.
Y ith all due respect to the ability of
the geutlenieu who compose the noun- j
cil, nevertheless we must differ. The
election of couucilmcn Is a prerogative
vested iu the people, lc Inn power to
supply a vacaucy, but when the time
comes when the people have legul
right to elect once a year the oflico
again becomes vacant. We cite as a
precedent the following: A equator of
the United titates is elected for a period
of six years, he may serve a mouth, a
year, or a day, he renigu8, removal or
death causes a vacancy, the governor
j tills that vacancy for how long?
Only until such time as the proper
body meets to elect to again fill that
vacancy. The charter may say the
council has the privilege to elect to fill
a vacaucy, no matter if it does pass
over a general election, but we hold
that would be illegal. We would not
be ho positive were it not for the fact
that several week ago we took occuxiou
to uscertafii the views of some of the
state's leading jurists, among the mem-
