RAISES QUESTION OVER LEAVES
AUDITOR SUBMITS POINT TO
CORPORATION COUNSEL.
Shall Twenty Days Absence. Allow
ed by Law, Limit Same to Sick
and Vacation Time?

! Leaves of absence with pay for police
men and firemen on account of sickness
| or injuries received in line OF their duties
may he denied i'm the future until ad-
ditional legislation by Congress- is Sc
cured.
I The District auditor. .Alonzo Tweedale.
has raised the question whether or not
the twenty days leave of absence with
vacation absence to twenty days. The
matter has been referred To Corporation
| Counsel E. H. Thomas for an opinion.
Several days ago the Commissioners ap-
proved a recommendation of Fire Chief
| Wagner that thirty days additional leave
4 he allowed two members of the fire de-
partment on account of sickness An Off
/ cial copy of the order was referred 20 the
auditor. and he sent memorandum 10
/ the Commissioners recommending that
! they rescind their former action.
I'm this connection he says. in eX-
planation. attention is invited to the act
of Congress providing for the expenses of
the government Of the District of Column
hia. approved March 3 1897. under the
head of fire department, II. C.. wherein
ii is provided:
THAT hereaf after each of the members
of the fire department shall be entitled TO
leave of absence each year. with pay. for
sltIl JlIilt. fol eNceeClHE twenty tdN d9
the Commissioners shall determine.
Commissioners Without Authority.
I'm view of this restrictive statutory
enactment the Commissioners are without
authority to grant leave of absence with
pay in excess of twenty DAYS to members
of the fire department. This was ap-
proved by the Commissioners.
Later Auditor Tweeda'e said: "In view
of the statements made before the COM
mttee on the 1899 appropriation act, it is
believed that the Iolicy adopted by the
Commissioners for the police and fire de-
partmentS with respect to sick leave may
I've continued; however, in view of the ex-
press language of the act contained in
the appropriation bill of March 3, 1897. it
is believed that further legislation should
ne secured supporting the position that
the Commissioners have taken in this
matter"
Fire Chief Wagner. following this sug-
gestion, said to the Commissioners: AFTER
conference with the auditor it has been
decided to embody in the estimates of the
fire department for 1910 the following
para graph: That the twenty days annual
leave of absence granted to members of
the fire department by law shall be ex-
elusive of leave of absence caused by sick
ness or injury
Police Chief Sylvester, in reviewing the
matter. decided that under tile act of Con-
greSs giving power to the Commissioners
TO make rules and regulations governing
the policemen they have power TO make
a rule that each policeman shall be en-
titled to thirty days sick leave each year.
