to secure the legal rights of the
[city and enforce its obligations
and defend It's interests, if ex:
pedient and necessary, without
waiting for the approval Of the
council. and without the neces-
|sity of subsequent ratification
by it.
The executive functions re-
ferred to in this connection, as
heretofore explained, are, the
doing of those things which are
required, or which may be
found necessary to be done, to
carry into effect the action of
the council, to enforce contracts
compel the performance of
duties by officers and to see
that the purpose of the city
government is not thwarted.
1t was the apparent intent
of the legislature to relieve
the councilmen of some respon-.
sibilities, and place the burden
upon the mayor, his appointive
officers and the other elective
officers, who receive some adj
equate compensation for the
service contemplated.
While specific instances may
arise where there seems to be
doubt as to authority of the
mayor or city council, yet the
question can be in all instances
determined by submitting the
following queetions:
First. Has the city council
the specific statutory authority
to do the particular thing in
question?
Second. Is it a matter of
legislation?
If neither of these questions
can be answered in the affirma-
tive the city council has no
authority in the premises, and
authority to deal with the
matter, as between the mayor
and the city council is vested
in the mayor.
To some of our citizens, per-
haps, the above may not be
clear, but to these persons l
will say that | have the Code
of 1897 and the Supplement to
same for 1907 in my office and
which are at the disposal of
any one desiring to look into
this matter further, at any
thine.
You will observe that the
duties imposed upon the mayor
hereafter are much more
arduous than heretofore, and
that it will require a great deal
Of his time and attention, for
which the present salary is en-
tirely inadequate to compen-
safe him for tlle time thus en-
ployed.
The above changes will be-
come effective from and after
the first Monday night in April
1909.
Respectfully
w. H. Withrow,
MavOr.

may be removed by the officer
or body making the appoint

shall be by written order which
|shall give the reason therefor,
and be filed with the city clerk.
All executive functions, powers

ercised and performed by the

City Solicitor, C. w. Kellogg,
having carefully digested the
matters referred to above gives
his opinion on same, which is
as follows, to-wit::
Explanations of Executive
Functions. The MAYOR occupies
the same ge ,i-al relation to
the city that ,he governor does
to the state government, and
the city council becomes the
legislature of the municipality.
For example, the city coun-
Gil by appropriate ordinance or
resolution expresses the legis-
lative desire that a certain
thing be done, and the mayor
as the executive officer of the
city, must see that the legisla-
ton is enforced and the thing
properly done; otherwise stated
the mayor becomes in q gener-
al way the business manager Of
/ the municipal corporation, to
sec that the business of the
corporation is properly carried
lon.
The various committees of the
city council have no authority
to do things executive in char
arter; they may examine into
matters referred to them and
report to the city council their
! findings or recommendations,
and perhaps do acts delegated
to them by the mayor, but with
that their authority ends: the
city council obtains it's infor-
Imation from its committees,
and then legislates, but what
ever is necessary to carry tina t
legislation into force should be
Idone by the mayor.
/ 1t is my opinion therefore,
that it was the legislative in
tent in giving the power of APP
ipolntment and removal to the
Mayor, to repose in him, as tie
/, chief executive of the city, the
, direction and management of
municipal affairs, aside from
those of a purely legislative
sfcharacter resting with the
cornell, the act WAS certainly
, designed to premit tie mayor
as the chief executive officer
/ to pnrsue tixe ! policy with
] refer rance to the general execu.
/ tive aft airs OF tine city and by

was quite a feature, at the

1t was given more applause

we fully appreciate the fact
that we have a good orchestra

ahead of the average orchestra
in larger towns than this. If
we enjoy and appreciate it,
why not give a hand of ap-

several weeks later at Augustana

Mr. Peabody was born in Septem-
Der, 1S45, at Milford, Conn. When
young he removed with his parents
