James A. Pirce as Judge OF the police
court was presented. to take effect when
his successor is elected
The board elected Nathan NJ. Wright
to I'LL the vacancy.
Alderman Cooke objected on the ground
that there could be no vacancy until the
resignation had been accepted concurrent
ly, and that 1t would be an act OF pro-
priety to table the resolution OF election
until others who might desire to become
candidates could have an opportunity to
present their claims.
| He said he had no candidate 10 offer
and would have none and had no objec-
tions TO Mr.. Wright. His only desire was.
he said, to see this branch OF the city
council refrain from hasty action for
which there was no adequate reason.
Alderman Gorham explained that the
resolution for the election of Mr.. Wright
had been drawn under the direction OF the
city solicitor, who said that there could
be no legal objection to the action OF the
board in filling the vacancy.
Alderman Reynolds saw no objection to
proceeding under the resolution. When 1t
reached the common council 1t would be
competent for any member OF that branch
to nominate another candidate.
Alderman Cookies motion 10 table the
resolution was not seconded.
Alderman Parker called for the question
on the original motion and the resolution
was adopted, Alderman Cooke voting.
