each general election thereafter, there
shall be elected one Councilman in each
ward who shall be a resident of such
ward, and an owner of real estate in the
City, who shall hold office for the term of
two years, and until their several sue
cessors are elected and qualified. The
further provision of said Section relates
to the name of filling any vacancy that
NAV occur in the Beard, and the time the
Councilmen so elected shall enter upon
the discharge of their duties.
at cannot be said or urged with any
reason that the Legislature, did, or in
tended to do, an unnecessary thing by
the enactment ct Section ) Of said Act,
vet if Realtors contention is true then it
was unnecessary to provide that there
should be elected one Councilman i'll
each ward who shall be a resident of such
ward "a Section ) practically made pro
vision for the same. If the Legislature
did not intend what is said in express
terms, then it did an unnecessary thing
and the requirements of Section . would
have been complete by the simple pro
vision for the election of five COuncllmen
at the general eIeclloh ol lo'o' al" "t
each general election thereafter, to hold
office for a term of two years and until
their successors are elected and qualified.
