OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor:
Mayors Office.
JERSEY Cry, N. j., Feb. IA. 1894.
To the Honorable the Board of Finance:
Gentlemen herewith return without my
approval the resolution passed by your Board
on February Q, 1894. ordering the payment
of salaries for January, 1894, to VIM Brink
erhoff, Corporation Counsel, $416. 66, and
to James S. Erwin, Corporation Attorney,
1921. IS. These gentlemen have never been
duly appointed to these offices. For my views
on that subject I refer you to my veto of Jan
uary. 12, 1894. If your Board has the powet
of appointment-which deny-you have not
passed the resolution over my veto. Mean
while it is ineffective. If, as have main
tanned, the first section of the Act of 1898 is
unconstitutional, then the law officers can
only be appointed by me. as Mayor. Upon
either construction your appointees have ne
right to the salaries for January. More
over the law business of the CITY during the
past month has not been attended to by
Messrs. Brinkerhoff and Erwin, and they are
not entitled to be paid.
Very respectfully, yours,
PETER f. WANSER.
Mayor.
