Legal Question Raised,
There exists Il question as TO whether
or not those appointiYc officers. TO
whom successors have not been appoint
cd by the commission, go out of office
next Mouiav With the elective officers.
The old law provided that IN appoint
i've officer holds over until his successor
is appointed. The city attorneys Of
fico, however. says that the new com
mission law repealed this. and under the
now law they 90 out on January ].
1t is tho understanding OF W, j.
Barrette however, the new city attor-
nev, that they do hold over until the
new ones are appointed. and IN case
that all of the new officers arc not
appointed January / it is believed that
those appoiutivc officers who do not re-
sign will hold over, at least tempo
rarily.
1t is not thought that any more OF
the heads OF departments will tender
their designations, with the exception
of Thomas Holiday. wRicrworks super.
intendcnt. who resigned TO Mayor
Brauford Thursday.
Ready for Change.
The elective officers under the old
law. that is the city attorney, city su-
ditor. city treasurer. and city recorder,
have their Offices ready 10 turn over TO
their successors. Mr.. Dinniny will be re-
tanned as special counsel for two or
three months in the attorney s Office to
complete old work which Is now pend
ing. City Treasurer Gideon Snyder will
turn over the affairs of his office TO his
present chief deputy. Frank Godbe. who
has been appointed treasurer. Mr.. Riyes
