The failure of Mayor Kiefer to appoint
successors to Bernard Zimermann and E
y. zimmerman, retiring members of the
school board, has caused considerable
criticism. Leading Republicans contend
that the intent of the law requiring the
mayor to appoint members of the school
board on or before March l, was to pre-
vent any Jockeying just prior to the hold
ing or the city convention, and that the
made his appointments as provided in
the charter
The law under which the appointments
are made reads as follows:
A.. mat on or before the first GsD day of
NAY 1871, seven CD persons shall be APP
Paul as school inspectors. Each of said
school Inspectors shall be a qualified cleo
tor or, and shall have resided in said city
at least four years prior to the date ~
appointment. Thraa of
tors so appointed shall hold Office for the
Ie e OF one year, and two for the term
~ 81 Two years and two for the term of
three years. and until their successors are
appointed and qualified, and thereafter
an School inspectors shall be appointed
ny ny me mayor on or before the list day Of
MdFch IN each year, for the term OF
three years, unless to fill a vacancy bv
reason Of death, resignation, removal or
pired term 0
The mayor explains his reason for not
complying with the law by saying that ne
received an opinion from the corporation
attorney to the effect that the retiring
members held office until their successors
are appointed and qualified. Members oP
the school board, while not claiming to
De attorneys, contend that the provision
Iesarulhg the holding over of members
It'll 'neir successors are appointed and
quained applies only to the first hoard
OF inspectors under the law and that the
provision FOR future appointments ~ IL
MADE on or before March is mandatory
