The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1919-07-10

Many of these positions are provided
for in other provisions of the statutes.
Where the statute thus designates GER
tain positions as officers and omits to
name other positions provided for in
statutes, it, by clear implication, ex-
cludes the unnamed positions from the
list of city officers.
1t will he noticed that the foregoing
statute specifically mentions school
commissioners but does not include po-
lice and fire Commissioners. If police
and Fire Commissioner is not city of
fcer he would not come under the pro-
hibition provided for in section 1921.
1t may be that by judicial construc-
ton, the courts would declare a police
and fire commissioner a city officer but
that would be only determined after a
law suit and in absence of any such con
struction we can only hold to the pro-
visions of our general charter law un-
der which we are operating for a de-
termination as to who are and are not
city officers.
The police and fire commissioners re-
ceiving no salary and not included in
the list of city officers ought to be en-
titled to compensation for other sery-
ices, performed for the city outside of
their duties as such commissioners, the
city not having provided for them by
ordinance.
