Mayor power to fill vacancies by appoint

The point is raised that four Supervisors

Should the present Supervisors be re-

Lawyers generally agree that the power
to appoint rests with the Mayor. 1t is
said that in the event of the removal OF

Supervisors, the Mayor would appoint
four of the displaced officers. Law
yers who have given the statutes close
attention say that if aEy Supervisor who

appointed to serve again such appoint

provides that one SO removed shall there
