FIREMEN NOT CITY OFFICERS

A fireman Is not city officer, he Is
merely city employee, according to an
opinion stated by Judge Z. A. Balm, In
the Huslipgs Court, of Norfolk, on
Tuesday. The expression was brought
forth In the case of l.. P. Slater. jr.,
who appealed from the action of Mayor
Reed in removing him es driver of the

pany, for alleged Cause. The court ruled
that, not being city officer, Slater had
no right to 81 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. Jadge
Bsin said tina. 1t was question of some
importance whether section 1893 OF the
code, giving to the Are board the right
to remove members of the FIRE Depart
ment, lie repugnant 10 section l20 Of the
constitution, giving Jurisdiction In such
matters to the mayor. If section 1888
ia in conflict with TIE constitution it is OF
courss without effect, and Mayor Reed
bad Jurisdiction In Sa.er's case, bur il
the two c'alses are not In couhict, 1t
might be that sec,iod 1888 OF the code
would govern 10 the case of iremep, In
which event Siater's case ought to have
been investigated and PISSED on by the
fire board. Tails point, however, vas
not before the court, aud Judge Balm
said 1t was not proper for him to go Into
it a. that time. Speaking further on
the status Of 8 Gremsn, the court said
that his election By hIs company to
certain position aud for stated term,
ADD his subsequent confirmation by the
city councils, was mrrsly method of
selection and was not an election such
as would constitute him q city offi:sr.
