Mayor had stated that the board would
rot confirm any of his appointments.
This was not so He did not think the
Mayor had treated the board fairly in
several matters.
Davis said 1t had been stated that the
board had determined not to confirm
any appointees unless they were Of a
certain religion. He denied it. All he
wanted was to have good, broad-minded
Americans placed in the offices. He had
voted for number of the Mayors ap-
pointees, and had always tried to vote
fairly and intelligently.
Tozer moved that the board proceed to
business, which was done, and the mat
ter was dropped.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Later in the evening the following
resolution was offered, and Kent moved
its adoption:
Whereas, The Board of Trustees of
the city of Sacramento, under and by
virtue of Section No. 80 of the charter
of said city, is invested with power
which authorizes it to either confirm or
reject any appointment which the
Mayor may under such charter make
to fill any municipal office; and
Whereas, The Board Of Trustees, in
the exercise Of the power thus invested
in 1t, have in the past and may in the
future reject or refuse to confirm ap-
pointments submitted to it by the
Mayor, and in so doing claim to have
been governed in their action and will
in the future be SO governed by good
and sufficient reasons; and
Whereas, The said Board Of Trustees
Is advised by the Corporation Counsel
IN case not exactly pertinent to the
subject matter Of this instrument that
1t is a principle Of law we'll established
that no public officer, board or other
tribunal exercising public functions
can do by indirection what they are di-
rectly and expressly prohibited from
doing; and
Whereas, The Mayor Of this city. the
| Hon. c. H. Hubbard, has taken the re-
! sponsibility upon himself Of placing to
serve, ostensibly, temporarily, but
practically permanently, in offices and
positions Of this municipality men
whose names have been sent to this
board by the said Mayor for confirma-
ton as appointees to certain offices,
but whose appointments have been by
this board rejected; and
Whereas, Such action on the part of
the Mayor is, in the eyes of this board.
violative Of the aforesaid legal princi-
pie prohibiting the doing by a public
official of an act by indirection which
is expressly or by reasonable construc-
ton prohibited by law; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Board Of Trustees
of the city of Sacramento that after
the lst day of June, 1896, no person
whose name having been sent to this
beard by the Mayor as an appointee
for any office or position for confirma-
ton, and said appointment of such per-
son having been or is rejected by this
board, shall receive any pay or draw
any salary from the City Treasury for
the services he may perform in said
Office by reason of temporarily filling
the position through appointment bv
the Mayor or by any other officer of the
city
