M'GINLEY INTENDS TO GIVE BATTLE HIS FIGHT WAS LAUNCHED IN SELECT COUNCIL. Claims That His Term Docs Not Expire Until the First Monday in May, 1900 Opinion by Ex-Jus-tlco Hand Presented by Mr. Roche Sustaining This Conten tion Chairman Williams Treats tho Democrats Generously in the Appointment of His Committees. It looks as If tho election of a city solicitor Is to be attended with tho locally fashionable election contest. The election of a successor to Mr. McOlnley la set for next Monday night, the second Monday in Afrll helnp the time prescribed by tho net of usscm bly. At lust nlRht's meeting of select council, Mr. Hocho led tho Democrnts In an attempt to kill the resolution calling tho Joint convention for this date, arguing that there will be no vacancy In tho solicitor's oillco until tho first Monday In Mny, 1900. Tho attempt was unsuccessful. The Republican members took the ground that councils should proceed with tho election on the day set by law and leave It to tho incumbent solicitor and his successor to determine in court when the one term ends nnd the other begins. it will be leinembered, that, owing to a deadlock, Mr. McOlnley was not elected until July 27. 1S37, nearly four months after the balloting began. The law says thnt "tho city solicitor shall serve for a term of two years from the llrst Monday In May succeeding his election, and until his successor shall be duly qualified." The "llrst Monday in Mny" succeed ing Mr. McOlnley's election was Muy 2, 189S. Tw years from that time would be May 2, 1900. The question was brought up last night by the reading of the concur rent resolution, passed by common council last Monday, calling a joint convention of councils for Monday next to elect a city solicitor and a member of the board of rexlslon and appeals. Mr. Hoch moved to strike out that portion of the resolution referring to the city sollcltorshlp. There was, to his mind, no vacancy and councils should lake time to give the question ample consideration, lie had s.ecured an opinion from ex-Justice Alfred Hand confirming his contention und would read it as a part of his re marks. He then read as follows: KX-JUST1CK HAND'S OPINION. My opinion is sought upon the ques tion when does the term of ollice of the present Incumbent of the ollice of city solicitor expires. The unswer Is to be derived solely from the Act of As sembly of 23d of May, 1SS9, providing for the Incorporation and government of cities of tho third class. The present Incumbent was elected and entered upon the duties of his oflico in July. 1S97. Article X, Section 1, provides that "The councils of each of said cities of the third class shall, in Joint convention, on the second Mon day of April, or as soon thereafter as practicable, elect by the vote of a majority of the members chosen to both branches, one person learned In the law. and qualified to practice In the Supreme court of this common wealth, who shall be styled the city solicitor, and shall serve for the term of two years from the first Monday of May succeeding his election, and until his successor ohall be duly qualllled." The plain language of the act would Ilx a service until the first Monday of May, 1900, and until his successor shall be duly qualllled. Is there anything In the law or the decisions of tho couits which would change this view? I am unable to find unythlng. An examina tion of previous acts of assembly and decisions somewhat analagous will con firm the express language of the stat ute already Indicated. The Act of 1S74, providing for the In corporation of cities, provides thnt the select and common councils shnll on the last Saturday of Febru ary next succeeding the Issuing of let ters patent to the said city or Its ac ceptance of this statute, and biennially thereafter elect the city solic itor. He shall hold his ollice for two years from the llrst Monday of March succeeding his election and until his successor Is qualified. It Is to be noticed that the Act of 1S74 fixes a specific day for the elec tion of city solicitor; the Act of 18S9 llxes a specific day, "or as soon there after as practicable," and omits the words "biennially thereafter." Both these expressions are significant. Hotli acts fix a term beginning on a day suc ceeding his election and until his suc cessor shall be duly qualllled. SITPHHME COUHT DECISION. It was decided by the Supremo court that tho time for the election under the Act of 1S74 was merely directory and did not preclude tho election of a city solicitor at a subsequent date. It Is to be remarked that there Is a clear Intention that the term of tho cltv solicitor Is not confined to two years: It Is never less than that period and may be more, nnd has always been more than two years when the election has not been on tho day first Indicated or before the time first intended It should begin. There is no shock there fore to tho legal mind In a construc tion which prolongs the term beyond two years; it is provided for. There Is also apparent from the nets of assem bly that there Is an Intention that there shall be no vacancy. Another fuct of Intention Is appar ent, and that Is not that there shall be a llxed time when tho term of cltv solicitor shall begin, but there shall be a llxed time when It shall end, the lat ter being the first Monday, except In the Instance of a. predecessor who has held over. In which event It shall bo when "his successor has been duly qualified." I find no decision ruling the exact facts of this case, but such as there are confirm the express language of the statute and Indicate that the language should be strictly construed. In Commonwealth ex rel Honey tax receiver vs. Warwick, mayor, 172 Pa. 140, it was held that the strict language of the act "until the next city elec tion" must be followed even though the legislature by a special act had undertaken to construo the act differ ently (thus usurping tho powers of the court) and although It fixed a time for choosing the successor when the voters would not ordinarily under existing laws vote for a receiver of taxes. WORDS OF TUB ACT. It Is to be observed that In tho Act of 188!), where the term Is not two years from his election and entry Into office, but "two years from tho first Monday In 'May succeeding his election," also where his predecessor holds over under tho law until "his successor has been duly Qualified" (which fact ends the service of the predecessor), and there being a clear Intent In tho net to avoid u vacancy, the term of servlco pro vided for must be more than two years. The object of this Is to preservo the day and month In the act, not the year, at which the solicitor should be electM and ordinarily begin his term; a&4 fcl to preserve to him his minimum of two years of service. Any other construc tion would leave the date of election, or at least the known term of service, without cither a fixed date of com mencement of service or ending of ser vice for tho purpose of a. new election. The change In the Act of 1889 omit ting "biennially thereafter," as con tained In the Act of 1874, and Insert ing "or as soon thereafter ns practic able," nbove referred to, relievo the situation of many perplexing questions which might arise, and under the con struction nbove given preserve tho right of the Incumbent to his full term of minimum 'service, to wit, two years. They also avoid n vacancy which could not bo lilted, or which Is unprovided for, as In the case of the predecessor's ofilclal duties terminating when the successor has been qualified und the duties of the latter not beginning until the succeeding Mny. The Act of 1889 In Intent nnd letter at times lengthens the term of service of both the prede cessor and successor beyond two years; the Act of 1874, If literally followed, would not effect this, but might shorten the term to less than two years. Hcnco tho change. I deem It unnecessary to refer to many cases upon this subject anala gous but not the same In point of fact and In the expressions of law, but which show a decided tendency In tho Supremo court to cling to the letter as wen ns the spirit of the statute. I think the present Incumbent In the ofllce of city solicitor has the right to hold his ollice until the end of two years from tho first Monday of May succeeding his election, namely, the first Mondny of May, 1900. (Signed) Alfred Hand. THK HAND OPINION. "We ought to go slow In this mat ter," concluded Mr. Itoehe. "By care ful und considerate action we may save to the city n largo bill of litiga tion expenses." Mr. Chittenden remarked that It was very kind of the city solicitor to bring this matter up In this wny In his efforts to save the city legal ex penses, but, Mr. Chittenden thought, the councils were not the proper bodies to deal with the question of when the term of the solicitor begins or ends. Their only duty was to elect a city solicitor on the day set by law. Mr. Sanderson said he would veto against Mr. Roche's motion, but he would look Into the matter between now and Monday night arid might act differently then. The Koehe motion was then put and was lost by the following vote; Ayes Messrs. Keurney, Hoche, Mel- vln, Shea, McCann, O'Boyle, Coyne 7. Nays Messrs Ross, Thomas, Chit tenden, Wagner. Schneider, Sanderson, Fellows, Schrocder, Lansing, Williams -10. Absent Messrs. Finn, James, Frabli-, McAndrews 4. Mr. Melvln moved to refer the mat ter to Willard. Warren &. Knupp for an opinion, but this was lost. Some one suggested that It be referred to tho city solicitor, but the suggestion was not adopted. Mr. Lansing thought the law was Continued on Page S. FUNERAL OF H. F. ATHERTON. Services Were Conducted by tho Rev. George E. Guild. Resting In the calm of death, the re mains of the late II. F.

GURRELL HANDS IN HIS RESIGNATION WILLIAM THOMPSON APPOINT ED AS HIS SUCCESSOR. The Veteran Police Officer Is no Longer ft Member of tho Force. Preferred to Retire Rather Than Resume Night Patrol Duty Was on the Force for Twenty-Two Yenrs nnd Newer Lost a Day Through Illness The New Patrol man Is ft Twelfth Ward Man. Police Ofllccr Mnrtln Gurroll yester day resigned from tho force, nftor twenty-two years of service. Ho Is succeeded by William Thompson. Tins resignation and tho nomination to fill tho vacancy were sent to select coun cil by Mayor Molr Inst night. Tho nomination was confirmed forthwith and unanimously. The resignation was transmitted In the following com munication: April C, 1899, To the honorable the select council: Gentlemen I have this day received the voluntary resignation of Martin Gurroll, patrolman, I accepted the same with regret, knowing as you all do that In Mr. Gurroll's resignation the city loses a vnluable officer. He served the city for twenty-two years as patrol man and one year as chief of tho de partment. His devotion to duty, his high sense of honor and his sterling mnnhood made him at all times a model ofllccr, nnd he now leaves the service of the city without a blot on his record. Respectfully submitted, James Molr, mayor. When the nomination of Mr. Thomp son was read, Mr. Chittenden moved to suspend the rules nnd consider tho nomination forthwith. Mr. Melvln moved ns nn amendment that It bo re ferred to committee, saying that 'in knew nothing of tho nominee nnd that probably the other members were In the same boat. His motloi wis not seconded. Mr. Chittenden said he knew Mr. Thompson und would vouch for him. The motion to consider tho nomination forthwith was carried by the following vote: Ayes Messrs. Ross, Thumas, Chit tenden, Wagner, Schneider, Shea, San derson. Fellows, Schrocder, Lansing, unoyle, Coyne, Williams I?,. Nays Messrs. Kearney, Roche, Mel vln, McCann 4. NOMINATION CONFIRMED. The nomination was then confirmed unanimously. The new patrolman is a lesldent of the Twelfth ward and steel worker by trade. He Is S4 years of age, five feet, nine Inches In height, weighs 198 pounds, possesses an excellent phys ique and Is u mat of pleasant address and exemplary habits. He Is a per sonal friend of the new mayor, and had a petition endorsed by Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, George Frable, George Okell, Rev. Dr. Junior. MoLeod and John MoWllIlams. Mr. GurreU's leslgnatlon Is due to his disinclination to return to night patrol duty. When directed to do so last Monday he took a lew days to consider tho matter, upd yesterday came to the conclusion to resign. , Mayor Molr expressed regret at not being able to continue Mr. Gurroll on day duty. The necessity for more patrolmen made It Impossible to do ,so he stated. Mr. Gurrell was the oldest member on the force, both In years and point of service. He was appointed by Mayor McKuno July 24, 1877, and after a month's service in the central city was sent to take charge of the West Side district, continuing in that posi tion until Mayor Fellows reduced him to the ranks. When Chief Robllng went out with the Thirteenth regiment In April, 189S, Mr. Gurrell was made acting chief. It was only at the urgent solicitation of the inayor and chief that he ac cepted the place. He served as heiid of the department until Chief Holding's return last month, and made a record that he might well feel proud of. Upon relinquishing the ofllce of act ing chief he was assigned to do duty as duy sergeant at the Center street station house, and in connection there with to act as emergency man in the central city. On the day the new mayor was in augurated he was notified that the ofllce he filled was to be done away with, and that ho would be compelled to resume regular patrol duty. After giving the matter due consideration, he concluded that he would retire rather than take up tho onerous night work again. During all his years of service he never lost a single shift from illness and was never subjected to any pen alty for the Infraction of a rule of the department. TWELVE MORE RECRUITS. Sent from the Recruiting Station on Spruce Street Yesterday.
