FIREMEN NOT CITY OFFICERS

A hHemau 10 not q city ofticer, be is
merely city employee, according to an
opinion stated By Judge K. A. Balm, in
the Hastings Court, Of Norfolk, on
Tuesday. The expression was brought
forth In the case Of l.. P, Slater. jr.,
who sppesled from the action OF Mayor
Reed 10 removing him as driver Of the
engine 10 the Independent Fire Com.
pany, for alleged csuse. The court ruled
that, not being city officer, Slater had
no right to sn appeal under section 100
Of the consultation, and section 6, chap.
ter 2, Of The city charter, giving to city
officers an appeal from the action Of the
mayor to remove them from Office. Judge
Balm said that 1t was q question of some
importance whether section 1888 OF the
code, giving TO the Ore board the right
to remove members Of the FIRE Depart
ment, is repngnant TO section l20 OF the
constitution, giving jurisdiction In such
matters to the mayor. II section 1893
is in coulter with the constitution II Is OF

might be that sectiod 1888 OF the code

been investigated and PISSED on by the
FIRE board. This point, however, was
