CITY CLERK.

For some inexblicable reason, the
legislature, in revising the law in
relation to cities Of the third class,
finally adopted an act that makes no
provision for the election or appoint
ment of the city clerk. The whole
act is drawn up, of course, with the
idea that the city clerk would be a
necessary adjunct, but the section
which provides for such was omitted
in the final passage of the bill, and
the question now is how can the city
provide itself with a clerk. The
city council would have no authority
to provide for the election of a clerk
by that body, or for the appointment
of a clerk by the mayor, because
the charter itself does not authorize
such. Neither can it provide for
the election of a clerk by the people,
because no such authority is given
by the charter. The question, there
fore, arises, how can the city provide
itself with an officer that it has no
authority either to elect OF appoint,
and yet, in contemplation of the
law, cannot get along without: The
act provides that all warrants, before
they are paid, must be signed by
the city clerk. In fact, without Il
clerk the machinery of the city gov
eminent would have to stop. The
act itself provides for a temporary
clerk. to act in the absence Of the
clerk, but there can be no temporary
clerk unless there is a clerk. and the
suggestion that we have heard that
a temporary city clerk might be APP
pointed, and the city operated under
such for the next two years, is
therefore not feasible. The city
council will have to graphic with
this question soon after its organiza-
ton. 1t is one of considerable diff
liculty, and the same difficulty will
have to be met by every city of the
third class in the state, and of course
the council here can be governed
somewhat by the action taken in
other cities. 1t is likely that there
is only one way out 'of it, and that
is TO let the present city clerks i'll
all cities of the third class hold over
They having been appointed under
existing laws, could hold until
their SUCCESSORS have been appointed
OF elected and qualified, There be.
ing no specified mode of appointing,
no appointee could qualify, and
hence the old clerks would have the
best title to the office.
