Senator McCarren believes the Civil Justices bill
recently passed legislating out OF office the five
civil Justices In Brooklyn and providing for the
election Of eight others in their stead is unconsttu-
tional His rea is that II provides for the cleo

constitution provides that municipal officers shall
be chosen at other than municipal election only in
case there is a vacancy The question Is whether
or not the legislature create vacancy under
the terms OF the constitution by legisating officials

over the bill as its provisions give aid con-

him 10 control considerable Brooklyn patronage in
