The above opinion given to
the NEWS by City Attorney Charles
c. Hommann today will relieve the
anxiety felt by large number of cit,
employees that there was no acting
mayor since election day and that the
city would be without a chief execu
tive to sign the pay warrants until
Albert Bollschweiler takes office on
January L.
Although many who consulted
the law of 1905 were justified in
forming the opinion that the city is
without an acting mayor" said Mr..
Hommann, "the Meeker act of 1901
settles the question, in my opinion
1t states that, in case of the death or
resignation of the mayor, the Office
shall be filled by the acting mayor
until the mayor-elect qualities"
Section Z, of the Meeker act, ap-
proved in 1901, reads as follows:
Every officer now or hereafter hold
ing any Office covered by the provis-
ions of this act, except justices of the
peace, shall continue to hold such
office, and to exercise the duties
thereof, notwithstanding the time
limited for it's continuance shall have
expired, until his successor has been
chosen and qualified, unless sooner
removed in the manner provided by
law"
The provision made in the city
charter, which would authorize the
continuance of the office, reads as
follows: ''In case of the death OF
resignation of the mayor, his powers
and duties shall devolve upon the
vice president of the council until a
successor is elected or qualified"
This is rendered null, however, hy
the acts of the state legislature.
Thinking that | could provide for
a question of this kind" continued
Mr.. Hommann, 81 drew up an amend
ment to the act of 1905 last year, and
gave it to Assemblyman Crowther to
get through. He was unable to do
so and | learned that the Meeker
act" Gas stated in the foregoing
lines), had jurisdiction in this ques-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-11-10

, ton, and l can't see why Acting
Mayor Pfeiffer is not the city's head
official until January i, 1907.
The mayor question is a peculiar
one," said Mr.. Hommann.
The term of Mayor-elect Albert
Bollschweiler does not commence ufi.l
i'll noon on January / next. This Is
dearly set forth in chapter 241, Sec
ton a, of the act to regulate cleo
lions, which specifies that "the terms
Of office of all Offices Except Justice
Of the peace) hereafter elected In any
city shall commence at twelve o'clock
noon on the first day of January
next succeeding their election, and
continue for the respective terms Of
years now fixed by law" y"
Had not the matter been favorably
decided by the city attorney, none
of the city officials. school teachers
and others on the city's pay roll
could have received any compensa-
ton until after January 1, and no
end of trouble in regard to unpaid
bills would have resulted.
The law that semed to make an
apparent vacancy in the mayors
chair is chapter 1876 of the session Of
1906 and reads as follows:
An act to provide who shall act
as mayor in case of the death of the
mayor of any city.
BE 1T ENACTED by the Senate
] and General Assembly of the State
of New Jersey:
l. In the event of the death OF
the mayor of any city the president
of the common council or board or
body having charge and control of
the frances of such city, shall act
as mayor until the next general or
st4te election, shall be known as
acting mayor, shall have all the pow
ers and privileges, be entitled to the
same salary and be chargeable with
the same duties and obligations 40
the mayor of such city.
2. All acts and parts of acts in
consistent herewith are hereby re-
pealed and this act shall take effect
Immediately.
Approved April 2S, 1905.

DENTAL OFFICE
BURCLARIzED.
Thieves Stole $50 Worth of Gold
but Left Untouched $500 Worth
Of Goods at Dr.. AnderSOn's.
THEY DID NOT TOUCH THE SAFE

Sneak thieves entered the dental
office of DR.. Heman Anderson in the
Flatiron building at State street and
New Brunswick avenue last night,
and carried away over $50 worth of
gold and twenty-five two-cent postage
stamps. DR.. Anderson did not dis
cover that he had been robbed until
late this morning. On going to a
drawer where he kept large amount
of scrap gold, he saw that it had all
disappeared. A careful search was
made by the doctor at once, and al
though there were other valuables
nearby, the only other loss discovered
was a small amount of postage
stamps.
Dr. Anderson said today that the
party who did the stealing was evil
IDENTIFY an inexperienced hand in the
business or he would have visited the
safe which was unlocked, and con-
tanned $500 worth of material that
could easily have been disposed of.
1T is possible" said DR.. Ander-
son, "that someone entered my Office
yesterday afternoon, while | was in
my worlroom. The robbery is very
mysterious, and | can't see why the
thieves overlooked the greater valu-
ables and only stole some scrap
gold.
The manner in which the gold dis
appeared is similar to IA robbery in
Dr. Frank Crowther's Office few
months ago. Chief Burke is at work
on the case.

ONLY |99 FEET
FROM CHURCH
Site Of Proposed New Hotel Is
Declared TO be Within The
Legal Limit.
WAS MEASURED BY THE PASTOR

Rev. Robert L. Schlotter, pastor of
Grace English Lutheran church, in
upper Jefferson street, this morning
measured the distance between his
church and the site for the new hotel
of Walter S. Brown, in the Hess
building, on Smith street, near Nc
Clellan street.
1t is understood that the pastor
found the distance to be only 1919
feet. The law prohibits the opening
of liquor place within 200 feet of a
church. This makes this place not
within the law. 1t is not known what
steps, if any, Rev. Mr.. Schlotter will
take.
