WOULD CONSTITUTE
CITY'S CHARTER
Board of Public Works Will In
stitute Proceedings.
Questions OF Three Appointments and
Legislative Dictations Rankle
In Board. 81
BRING SUIT AS INDIVIDUALS.

Jealousy between the branches
OF the city government has culminat-
ed in the employm mt of Hendrick,
Miller ard Marble, attorneys, by
members Of the board of public
works to institute legal proceedings
to determine whether the general
council or the board of public works
has the right to appoint the wharf
master. marketmaster and sewer In
spector. s
Members of the board of public
works have falt aggrieved at what
were considered Sights by the legis-
latiye body and appealed to the city
solicitor to construe the charter. So
licitor Campbell was called on in re-
gard to the appointment of these Of
ficers. but his view of the situation
was not pleasing to members OF the
board. There was nothing specifically
said about this appointment in the
charter, and the only way power
could be conferred on the board OF
public works was by reading into
the legislative grant" the Implied au-
thority to appoint these officers. So
licitor Campbell was of the opinion
that the general council was acting
within its authority when it made
the appointments.
Then the firm OF Hendrick. Miller
and Marble was calledon for an opin-
ion, and in a lengthy written brief
construed the implied authority to
make these appointments on the
board of public works.
The executive board has several
times without avail tried to induce
the two boards OF the general coun-
ell to take cognlzance of the opinion,
and now in order to settle the dis
pute. as to the right to make the
appointments the board of public
works Will institute legal proceed
ings
Chairman's Statement.
Concerning the suit Chairman e.
+. Noble, of the board Of public
works, said:
This Is an ex parte proceedings to
construe the charter. We have en-
deavored to get the matter before
the general council and have that
body instruct the city solicitor to
bring a friendly suit to construe the
charter and failed We, of course. can
not direct the legal department Of
the city to institute proceedings.
''The attorneys are employed by
the members of the board of public
works as individuals. If 1t Is decided
the board has not the power to make
these appointments. We win have to
bear the expense of the case. II II Is
decided in our favor the city will
have to pay the costs and attorney
fees
1.-The authority TO appoint the
wharfmaster. a marketmaster and
sewer inspector is involved, but be-
sides these matters We Will have the
charter construed in regard to the
authority of this board in several
other matters, in which We feel that
the council is a usurper. Personally
we have no interest In the outcome,
but the whole proceeding is institute
ed to stop the unpleasantness be-
tween departments and for the good
of the city,"
