an unsatisfactory elective official can
be had upon a petition of 35 per cent

Holding Up Laws.

The board Of commissioners has tho
power to pass ordinances not in con
fict with the state law but, except in
case Of emergency, involving the pab-
lie safety or the public health, ordin-
ances cannot be declared in effect in
less than thirty days. If, during this
interval, a petition signed by fifteen
per cent of al the votes cast for all
candidates for mayor in the last el9c-
ton is presented requesting that the
ordinance be repealed, it is the du65
Of the board to reconsider it and if It
is not repealed then it must be SUP
mitted to tie voters for approval or
rejection.
Ordinances desired by the people
can be submitted to the board of com
missioners by fifteen per cent of the
qualified voters and if the same is not
adopted by the board then a referen-
dunn election must be ordered. Not
more than one such election can be
held within six months, however, I'M
less at a regular election In the
event that ordinances of this kind are
asked for by the people at the time Of
a regular election when practically no
additional expense is entailed five per
cent of the voters can initiate TIE de
sired measure.
In the history of the initiative in
Dallas only one election has been held
and there has been no disposition On
the part of the people to multiply ell
ections of this kind.
