claiming to be such in any branch OF the hnan-
cial concerns of the city, and startling rs this pro-
position may appear, cannot bring my mind to
any other conclusion than that the legal effect OF
the adoption Of that chatter was to repeal so much
of the ordinance of-the 22d Of February, 1871, ~

conferred powers upon them In regard TO r,perty
or debts Of the city
1t is true that the Common Council did not con-

to give effect TO the charter, the Commissioners OF
the sinking fund are mentioned (Sscs. i05 $50, and
149); but such recognition by the Common
Council would not even conclude that body
from questioning their legal existence or authority
II can hardly be conceived that such committee
can lawfully exist claiming the right to dispose Of
the property Of the city, not only free from the Con
troll Of the Common Council, but In direct opposition

Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund still continue,
