Justice Lippincott heard an argument
this morning on the application for q rule
to show cause why a writ OF certiorari
should not issue TO review the proceedings
of the Board Of E'resh0lders at the meet
arg OF December II. At the same time
another application was made for a rule
to certiorari the proceedings Of yester
Gays meeting. Lawyers Flavel McGee
and Leon Albeit represented Freeholders
Clayton and Wilson and also Freeholder
Piercy. who has put in an application on
his own account. A number of the Free
holders were present.
Mr.. Albeit opened the argument He
said that the action taken by the defend
ants On December II was Illegal ana void
because the Director had declared the
Board adjourned after vote had been
taken. The resolution adopted at that
meeting to appoint a standing committee
take the powers and duties of the Di-
rector away from him. The appointment
Of committees belongs to the Director,
and even If that was not the case the
resolution was adopted after adjourn
ment
Mr.. MeGee said that the resolution was
offered before adjournment, and declared
out Of order BY the Director
Mr.. McDer1nott argued that the ad-
journment CT the meeting by Director
Clayton was arbitrary and illegal. He
declared the Board adjourned although
two-thirds OF the members Of the Board
were opposed to adjournment and de-
manded roll He submitted an affidavit
by Clerk Woolley showing the minutes
OF the meeting. and said that was the
official record. 1t is the duty of the
Clerk and not the Director to keep the
minutes. The true theory of government
Is that the presiding officer OF a board IS
its servant and not its master. He has
no power except to preside at meetings.
Director Clayton knew that the motion
to adjourn was not adopted.
Mr.. MCGEE said that the motion to ad-
journ was adopted and the proceedings
taken after that were Illegal.
Mr. Albeit, referring to yesterdays
proceedings. said thai the Director was
elected for a year and could not be re-
moved.
Mr. McDermott said that anybody has
the right to remove its presiding officer
