The IF" angle enters in the
form Of an opinion by Bruce J.
Broadly, Corporation Counsel for
the city. Mr.. Broadly Is Of the opin-
ion that, under the 81. Paul city
charter. the council has no author
ity to enact such an ordinance. Mr..
Broadly gave this opinion 10 the
present city council August %,
1916.
Relative to q proposed law, Of
nine sections, submitted to him,
Mr.. Broadly gave the following
opinions:
o Sections "a are wholly un-
necessary In that they'are covered
in other laws.
o Sections one and nine are In
consequential In that, respectively,
they pronounce a worthy practice
and state the usual provisions Of
validity.
0 Sections 6-s, constituting an
attempt by the City TO impose fair
employment practices upon private
industry in 81. Paul Is beyond the
councils authority.

ell Illegal under the charter.

We have had some complaints from
local lodges that some of our presi-

be o.k'ed by the General President
without having had the lodge to
vote on said applicants. We would
like to inform all concerned that all
application blanks for membership
in the local lodges must come
through the local lodges as our Con.

Your secretary record should show
