Mr.. Gathers announced that he would stand

Thrown over the transom" said Assist
ant City Attorney Herdman, pithily, land
the consolidation of the Offices as contem-
plated by the new city charter will proceed
in due order.
Judge Sears had written out his decision
at length giving consideration to all the
essential points raised, with the exception
that he did not go into the merits of the
revenue sections of the charter. He held
they were not properly subject for de-
cision in the case at bar. although very inn
portant in themselves.
AT one place the court says:

Council Committee Does Not Meet.

No council committee meeting was held
Monday afternoon. Several persons who
wanted to take up matters with the COM
mttee were on hans from l p. m. until 3.
but during that time only one member of
man reached the committee room about 2
o'clock and a little before he left and
shortly after that Councilman Huntington
came in. Separately or in union these two
could not make a quorum and thus no
meeting was held. One lawyer, a man and
a woman waited until Zimman left, and
they, too, went away after expressing
their opinion of counCilmen in general. AS
there were no matters of importance TO
the city TO come up, no one could give a
good reason why the members failed to
attend the meeting.

Provisions Not Awry.

The court also says that he finds no
incompatibility in the duties imposed. In
cases of this kind. says the court, to impose
duties upon the incumbent of an office it
is not necessary that the title of the enact
ment refer to such officer or his duties.
Public officers are public servants"
says the court, who must expect added
duties in harmony with their several Offices
and objection can only be raised when the
new duties are Incompatible with the old"
On the question of school district treas
urer, the court says the Office is not lost,
as contended by Mr.. Gathers, but Is as
definitely known and guarded and as di-
rectly subject to control as before the
present charter took effect. A bond is
provided for the safeguarding of the funds
outside of the city charter even.
OF the contention that the legislature
was by this act appointing an officer. the
court says there is nothing in it. The
inhibition in such case runs only against
| a direct appointments naming of the
appointee by the Legislature directly.
