Let the Mayor nominate his candi
date for the position, and he (Dud
ley) would vote for him, but he
would vote against giving the power
to the Mayor.
Alderman Ricaud agreed with Al
derman Dudley in the abstract, but
he would not deny to the Mayor the
right of appointing his own clerk.
He seconded Alderman Fishblate's
motion.
Alderman Price offered an amend
ment, that the Mayor be authorized
to appoint, subject to the approval
of the Board.
A prolonged discussion then arose
on the right of the Police Commit
tee to make appointments on the
I force.
Alderman Rice moved that the
power given to the committee to ap
point be annulled.
The Mayor ruled that the appoint
ments having been made the
tion was out of order.
Alderman Price argued that the
power of appointing was delegated
to the Police Committee for one
vear. and as the yar expires -next
j - - i.
April, this resolution; if adopted,
would be inoperative next month.
Alderman Pearsall was of the same
opinion. i
Alderman Ricaud said that he re
garded the whole proceeding as out
of order. There was a limitation
fixed to the term of office by the
charter law, and it could not be set
aside. If on investigation he found
the limitation was fixed at twelve
months he would be willing to go
