THE MAYOR MAY
WITHDRAW ALL
HOLD Up NAMES
Believes That Ripper Act"
Gives Him Exclusive Ap-
pointive Power.

If the present plans OF Mayor Ray
mond do not miscarry then he will
appoint members of the Board of
Health, Police Commission and city
auditor without any reference to the
Common Council. This information
was given out today by the mayor
after a lengthy conference with City
Counsel Spaulding Frazer Nothing
definite HAS boex peeidsd AZ vet,2t'st
the present ideas OF the mayor are tp
withdraw all the -hoid up appoint
ments from the Common Council and
notify the city clerk that the men
named are legally appointed by him
and do not require the confirmation
of the council.
Mayor Raymond and his legal ad-
visors base their Calm on the rip
per act" passed October II, 1907. In
that act II states that the terms of
officers shah terminate with the
mayor and the incoming mayor shall
appoint. Nothing about the confir-
nation of the council is stated In this
| law.
The law does not apply to the city
treasurer or comptroller. as an
amendment to that act was passed
! In the same year excluding these ap-
pointmeuts. This amendment was
passed in the interest of Republic
can treasurer and comptroller.
In the playground commission
another situation presents itself.
There Is another act which controls
the appointments OF playground
commissioners. but the appointments
must be with the consent of the COM
mon Council
| Mayor Raymond was much pleased
when this passage was shown him.
| ut looks to me as IL this law will
put good many on sheir edge said
| the mayor, "at this time 1t seems to
me that the law Is very clear. and as
/ have not found contradictory law
l am of the opinion that my appoint
ments will be recognized as legal"
| When the appointments were given
| to the Common Council yesterday all
were held UP with the exception Of
the fire board. Since that time the
| legal department has been busy
searching for a law that would give
Mayor Raymond the power to ap-
point without any confirmation.
The law Upon which the mayor
bases his opinion reads as follows:
I'm cities of the flrst-class the
terms of the office of all city officers,
members of city boards and other
employees appointed by the mayor
thereof, whether for definite or an
indefinite term. shall expire with the
term of such mayor, and the success
sors Of such officers, members of city
| board and employees shall be ap-
pointed by the incoming mayor, and
shall hold such positions during the
term OF the mayor SO appointing"

ceiver Richard J. Franz was also
elected to succeed himself. The pres
ent gas inspector, Ellsworth Fran
cisco, was named by the mayor and
unanimously confirmed by the coun-
Gil.
The first appointment as sent in
by Mayor Raymond named Nicholas
LaVecchia to succeed himself as a

sion. After the reading of the COM
