Appointment of inspectors.
Alderman Balls nominated persons as Inspectors OF Eec
ton of the First Ward Alderman PuRpY objected TO the
appointment OF Inspectors at this time on the ground that
violated the validity Contracts being retrospective and
therefore unconstitutional The Inspectors choenl year
he conended were legally authorised to act
Alderman UNDERWOOD contended for the hight TO pro-
ceed The eecoa, and said that the last year. after the
Pespe had elected In pectorS, under the provisions OF
former law the then Common Council violated the validity
OF contracts by appointing Inspectors themselves Telaw
under which the Inspectors had been chosen last year
having been repealed by the Legislature, the Inspectors
pointed under necessarily out of Office. The pres
law made the peative duty for the Common C0un
Gil appoint Inspectors least days before the
raj Elections
Assistant Alderman WATERMAN contended that the lnspsc-
formerly appointed hadby law right 10 act as nspec
OF the Genera Election, and the recent law has,
| mol deprived them OF that right.
Aid. pURDY conleGded Tor his former position, that the
Inspectors still in Office had right 10 ACT and asked
for time examine the SUBJECT.
l Aid. UxpERwoop said the gentlemen bad been apprised
Wednesday evening last of the intention I" proceed 10
the appointment OF Inspectors, and had had full time TO ad.
wise themselves OF the provons OF the law on the subject
Alderman LEONARD opposed the appointment ot lnspec-
tors this time for similar 10 those before adj.
vanced as did Assistant WATERMAN at length and moved
that the appointments be postponed.
Asst Aid BRowN seconded the motion postpone it
of Inspectors, both claiming right TO act and the
| Board well knew The effect of such contes!s
Assistant AID ScoLEs conended that The law under which
the former Inspectors appointed was repealed, and
read the section OF the statute ling the former law
and repeating all other Of similar character the
one repealed He said the object of the repeating
10 give legal eft the former Inspectors while they
nued in otice-un The legal termination OF their iunc-
| ons These isncons had ceased by law and the
Common Council had right TO go on anu supply their
conteded the plain common construction oil the
| repeating section OF the law OF February 1872
Assistant Aid. WATERMAN again urged his former ar:u-
ment., coAteuding that the Swing clause the
law repeating the former law in regard Inspectors. II
he thought there not and the Common Council had
legal right make the appointments, he certainly would
oect-bu, he thought Otherwise, and therefore must
| oppose ii.
Aid said the law required the Inspectors
appointed at least ten days before the election When
hat Why or any time before the days prior to
e election and no" "cS The time, the former law
repealed, and there 30 other law appointing them
Aid. PgRDY conemef that the law for appointing Ia
spector, March prio the Charter Election not
peaIed, ana in iavoroi referring il information He
would leave TO thc COUNSEL Of Tie Board decide Ma
