QUESTION OF LEGALITY.
Raised in Regard to Election of Night
Watch by Aldermen.

The principal topic of conversation
on tn" street yesterday was the cleo
ton by ballot by the board of alder
men Of Walter X. Wakefield as night
watch at the special city government
meeting Monday night. Those who
question the act of the board Of alder
men claim that the Appointment should
have hctn made by the city marshal
and tnnt the aldermen should then
have voted for his confirmation. In
support Of their contention they quote
the following sections from the city
charter:
Chapter III, section 8. He Che city
marshall shall at such times as the
board Of aldermen may direct appoint
With their consent, one or II ore dcru-
ties. who shall be approved by the
mayor and aldermen.
Chapter ". Whenever the public
cXigcucics may require. the city mar
shal shall recommend suitable num-
bcr of persons to the mayor and al
dermcn for special police. AMI if ar-
proved hy the mayor and aldermen
they shall thereby b. appointed to said
office.
No one seems to dispute that Mr.
Wakefield possesses many excellent
qualifications for a police officer and
the only arguments made by thoS''
opposed to his appointment is Tn"
manner in which he was selected and
the claim that ne is at present Il resi-
dent of West Gardiner He was, how
ever, for Il long time u resident Of this
city and served in the city government
with credit The general opinion. how
ever, seems to be that his being Il non
resident has no hearing on the ques-
ton Of legality and that Il man might
be n resident of PASSPORT or klttery
ana still be legally appointed nighJ
watch Of Gardiner or any other city
or town in the stat, unless there WAS
some express provision in the city
charter to the contrary.
