EMBRoGLIo.-An Opinion from City
Attorney Boothe.-Msyor Simpson, IL
will be rememb ered, few days ago, In
Anticipation of the action of The Board
OF Police Com missioners, requested City
Attorney Bootbe to prepare an opinion
Getting forth tho respective powers oil
the Mayor and commissioners in the is-
sues about to be presipitated. Three
queries were submitted to the City At
torney; viz: Whether the Mayor was
empowered to detail an officer to collect
licenses; whether the CON nissioners had
authority to set aside sentence OF the
Mayor on an officer ioucd guilty OF an
ofiense, review the csse aud pass their
own judgment upon IL, sEd II the Mayor
had the power to appoint men OF his
own selection to bs sta'iorkeeper. Mr..
Boothe 10 response TO lhi first inquiry
decides that the Mayer hss the right to
detail q man to collie, licenses. and
quotes the last seclion Of tue ordinance
OF the City Council imposing taxes on
persons, &C., which specially provides
IOT IL. III reply " thO e'NChN 1922
the City Attorney is ofOpirion that the
commissioners have power TO reopen
such cases and quotes Judge James
Keith's opinion when the same question
was submitted to him By he counsel OF
o former Mayor. TO the last query the
attorney says:
"In reply to this question ] would say that
the Mayor 80 the chief executive officer OF
the city, and that it ia his cutT TO see that
the laws Of the State sud tie ordinances Of
the city are faithfully execute; herce, a.
though the Board Of Police Commissioners
has power under the city chatter +, prescribe
roles ard regulations for the police force
these rules and regulations mutt not be such
as will pre- vent or hinder the proper enforce
ment OF the state and city laws, and 1t would,
OF course, be against the letter and the spirit
CT the Law TO place any Off or at the citation
house who would be incapable OF attending
to the duties of such q position. Subject 10
this qualification, however,, am OF opinion
that the Board of Police Commissioners has
