ttC ! PdcSGu Dy your BOARD DIT
your meeting held June 80, 1896, to Wit
Resolved, That Mr.. Allan L. MeDer-
mott be requested to furnish this Board
Of Chapter 39l of the Laws OF 1895, provid-
ing Tor q commission to take charge of
the new City Hall of this city"
While this resolution does not appar-
emily incur any expenditure of money, it
is hardly fair to Mr.. s1cDermott to re-
Ills time and Attention and to expect hsni
to do this work without compensation
Chapter 25s Of the Laws. Of 1856. an act
entitled a act to establish a law de-
partment In critics of the first class in this
State, to provide for the appointment and
duties of the law officers therein and for
passed May 16, 1891, defines The duties Of
the Corporation Counsel and his relations
70 the Boards OF the city as folows:-
sci shall be the chief law officer of the
city; he shall provide written opinions
when required to the Mayor and the va
riouS Boards and departments of the city
government when required, and be their
adviser upon all questions arising in rela-
ton to their official duties, ETC., etc" 1t
thus appears that the proper municipal
authority to furnish your Board with an
opinion such as IS contemplated by the
resolution before me is the Corporation
Counsel. AS | understand it, your Board
has requested and obtained from that Off
Ger such an opinion; ! find no authority
other legal adviser, or by any other Board
except the Board of Finance. While / do
not exactly consider your resolution to
carry with it such an employment and
without intending any d:scourtesy to Mr..
McDerGnott. | would suggest to your Board
that the only authority competent to de-
termine the constitutionality of legisla-
ton is the Supreme Court of this State.
Whatever Mr.. McDermott's opinion may
be matters not, even though 1t may not
agree with that furnished you by the duly
authorized legal adviser of your Board, 1t
will not avail for the purpose of the in
PRODUCER Of this resolution. II the Alder
man who is sponsor for the resolution be-
fore me requires legal enlightenment upon
this matter in excess of that furnished by
by appealing to the courts, the legally
constituted tribunals for determining
questions of constitutionality of laws, &C.,
which are as open to him as an Alderman
as they are to any citizen, but he must
do so at his own risk and expense and
not at the expense of any Of the public
funds, the power to expend which he ap-
pears to be so anxious to obtain.
Very respectfully,
Alderman Hauck appeared n took
