Corporation Counsel De- clsres Law Making Body Had No Authority to Fix Amount.

That the common council acted without authority when 1t attempted 10 dx the salary of Street superin- tendent Eugene Faselle at $2.o0o after the board of public works had recommended that he be paid $3,ooO is the opinion expressed by Corpor- stion Counsel John H. kirkhanl in a written statement given 10 Mayor Faonessa today.
 Al disclosed by the corporation counsel. the power of the common council is merely to approve or re- ject no authority to amend being given in the charter. The situation IS similar to that which obtains with reference to the post of park su- peYintendent. in which case the council in withholding its approval, increased the proposed salary of Clyde Elhnguood S1 ,onn.
 Statement to Mayor
 Judge K,rkhams statement to the mayor reads:
 Dear Sir
 You ask 1. there l. an ordinance governing the salary of street su- perintendent In the last edition Of the ordinances of the common council published in 1927 there M an ordinance Page 1o3. reading as follows:
 Be it ordained by the common council ot the City of New Britain: Beginning April l, 1927, the follow ing named officers and employees shall receive the following salary:
 Superintendent of streets, s2.ooo per Annum. .
 The charter, edition Of 1924 Page 53. states that th. board of public works shall, subject 10 the approval of the common council fix the compensation of lti appointees ai may be required to properly per form the duties imposed upon the board
 The eHect of the ordinance there fore is simply to show that the com mon council has approved of the salary fixed by the board of public works.
 The question came up during Mayor Curtis administration whether it was proper to enact ordinances fixing the salaries of city employees whose compensation does not belong to the common council to fix, but simply to approve of. My recollec- ton is that I advised the mayor at that time that 1t was improper pro- cedure but he thought 1t would be a matter of public convenience to be able to refer to the ordinances so as to know what everybody was receiving"
 Faselle's Salary Still in Doubt

 The only reference made to the pay of superintendent in the city records dates back to the period fol- lowing appointment of Thomas kearney. kearney was paid s75 al- though the ordinance then read $2,- 900 a. year. The common council demanded an explanation and the board explained that kearney's pay was being charged against the sev- eral branches of the department of public works and that, in exercise of it's discretion. the board had fixed the pay at S75. On motion of Ald- erman William H. Judd. republican leader in the council. this procedure and pay were approved.
