A point has been raised in this city
relative to the nomination Of IOuncllmen
VINO we're sup .,used to succeed appointed
members. Some hold they must state
in their filing that they are for long or
short term. This lie taking it for granted
that appointed councilmeu only serve
until the succeeding election.
In looking over the law for client,
Attorney Agnew finds himseIf in doubt
about there being any short term coun-
cilmen to he elected, there being moth ny
in the statutes that says their term shall
end before the end vi the term OF the
members 10 succeed whom they were
appointed. This construction would
leave Franklin. Hart aud Parks, from
the First, Second and Sixth wards, with
another year to serve.
Clerk Clark ha. written to the attorney
general for an opinion on the long and
