In the absence OF any indication in the
reference, 1 hardly know what particular
point my opinion is desired upon. I sup
pose, however, the Council desires TO
know whether the General Council has
tho nnmra- RI nauz FLa r1-~1-ETa- I ALT-b
1t has.
Section % of the charter empowers the
General Council to fix the salary Tcom-
Penss.iOnl OF the Wharfmaster, among
other officers. 1 find no restriction upon
the power. And, while it may be bad
policy, I am satisfied the General Council
msy, ii it chooses, change the amount OF
compensation, by increasing or diminish
ing il, of any officer OF the city except the
Mayor inc members of the General Coun-
Gil, during the terms Of their offices. The
could be done in reference to the
Mayor and the members Of tho General
Council, if it was not prohibited by Sec
tons u and % &C the charter.
