TERMS OF RAILROAD COMMISSION Frs.
AN OPINION on THE SUBJECT BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL ROSENDALE.

AN OPINION on THE SUBJECT BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL RoSENDALE.
Albany, March Ex-Governor Flower recently re-
quested the opinion Of Attorney General R0sendae re
lating to the tenure Of office of the members of the
State Ralruad Commission, and whether the terms OF
Office of MeSss. Rogers and Baker extended FIVE years
from the date Of their commissions MAY H. 1887. or
whether the term Of Mr.. Rogers for the uAeXpred
term ending January 90 1891 and that of Mr.. Baker
for the unexpired term ending January 90 1892 In
the law establishing the Commission it is provided
that after the expiration of the terms OF the first three
Commissioners there shall be terms OF five years In
answer the Attorney General, in opinion written
yesterday, says:
The definition OF the word tern" has been adudcaed
BY the Court Of Appeals which has decided that the word
term applied in fixing the terms Of hends OF depart
and commissioners in the city OF New1ork, rs II
be construed designating constructive periods Of six
years following other in regular order the one COM
nencing when the other ends, and the incumbent APP
pointed any such period be rated as the incumbent
Of the term or period which his appointment relates,
his Office expiring with the expiration Of the term. APP
plying, therefore, this definition and fixing as the initial
point Of the expiration of the original appoint
ments Mr.. ODonnell's appointment terminated on the
Goth Of January. 1856 Mr.. Rogers, having been r.
appointed commissioner succeed Mr.. 0Donne. his
fveyear the 29th of January, 1856 and his
term ended. Therefore January 70, 1891. Mr.. Baker
having been appointed to succeed Mr.. Rogers, whose
original appointment expired January %, 1887, by the
sane construction, his term would expire January ~
1892"
The question of tenure of Office has somewhat agi-
tated the mind of Commissioner Ecaid>ley, who was
appointed short time ago for the term Of
five years 10 succeed Mr.. Rogers, whose
term, Attorney General Roscndae holds expired
January 20, 1901: and under this construction
OF the law Mr.. Bcardslcy would ONLY until Jan
usgy 30. 1896, abOnt fJar yels from the time Of ap
polntment. 1t is said howevcr-bit this point has
not been passed upon by the Attorney GeneIal-that
the Commissioners of Statutory Revision. I'm revising
the law establishing the Commission in 1880. CHANGED
the reading regarding appointments for term OF I'VE
years 10 give term OF five years IN al case
where person is appointed TO succeed a Commits
soner whose term has expired. This latter law Is The
one under which MP. Beardsey was appointed.
Under the Attorney Generals construction OF the
