BURTON THINKS
Says Plan to Authorize Mayor to
Remove Officials Violates
Home Rule Act
LAWSON TO BE ASKED
TO PASS ON THE POINT
Justice Courts Not Subject to
Charter Regulation is An
other Alleged Discovery

Commissioner burton announced to
the charter commission, Saturday
morning. that he had made three dis.
coveries. One was that the home rule
act says: mo term of any public
Official shall be shortened or extended
beyond the period for which he was
elected or appointed. unless he resign
or be removed for cause"
II therefore move." said Mr.. Bur
ton, that the resolution adopted Fri
day, that the mayor shall have pow
or to remove appointive officials. be
resctnded."
There was considerable discussion
of the point. Mr.. Ingram said that
the people could exercise the power
of recall, In any event. Mr.. Tossy
the mayor would be proper action In
case competent department heads
were not chosen.
IF the mayor doesn't do right, let's
clean up with him." said Mr.. TOssy
We've shown what we could do with
mayors In the past. We've had one
term mayors for some time. II the
present mayor does wrong, well get
him. too"
II was finally decided to refer the
matter to the corporation counsel, for
q written opinion OH the meaning OF
the home rule act in this regard.
Mr.. Burton's other discoveries were
that the commission cannot change
the election of constables by wards
and has no Jurisdiction over the acts
governing the justice courts. These
matters are governed by the legisla-
ture. not by the common council OF
the executives Of the city.
In committee OF the whole, the com.
mission considered and adopted the
ward boundaries as reported by Mr.
Burton's committee.
The labor committee OF the charter
commission held public meeting.
Friday night, In the council chamber
at which representatives Of the De.
trOit Federation Of Labor voiced their
wishes for changes in the charter.
K. l.. Reeves, 4ecretary of the ma
tional organization OF street railway
men. protested against the applica
ton OF civil service to the street rail
way system, claiming that under II
no organization can be recognized
and hence no employee has protection
against the city. Frank Martell, sec
rotary of the Detroit Federation
spoke for an eight-hour day for pc
licemen and fremen. Commissioner
Tossy replied that q radical change
in the present schedule OF hour.
might cause the defeat Of the char
ter. The federation men advocated
the per diem as opposed to the con
tract system on city work.
