In Creating tho Point Raised by Council Concerning tho Validity of Discontinuing Theso Offices Before the Incumbents' Terms Expire. Mr. Vosburg Takes Occasion to Touch Lightly on the General Powers of tho Mayor to Remove Appointed Ofllcers. At lasi ..tght's meeting of select coun cil, Clt Solicitor Vosburg submitted the following opinion In response to a. question from councils as to the valid ity of abolishing the ofllccs of nsslBt ant fire chiefs, while the Incumbents ate serving out a term for which they were duly chosen, Scranton, Pa , Aug. 1C, 1R99. To the Honorable, the Members of the Select and Common Council of the City of Scranton. Gentlemen. With respect lo jour In quiry us to the validity of the ordi nance (tile of common council, No 31, 1S99) abolishing the ofllce of assistant fire chiefs, nnd providing for the ap pointment of un assistant chlof.I would say: That, If 1 urn correctly Informed, the present district chiefs or engineers, weie nppolntcd by the mayor of this city, and that an appropriation of one hundred dollars each bus been made for the piesent fiscal c.u, which, of course, is not jet ended. The question raised then In tegard to the validity of this ordinance Is, whether or not these offices can be abolished during the fis cal J ear, and these appointive ofllcers thus be virtually removed from ofllce. As there has been considerable discus sion with respect to the power of the mayor to lemovo nppolntcd ofllcers at his pleasure, I desire to state the law upon that point ns I undei stand It. BIGHT TO REMOVE. The right to lemove an appointive olllcer by the authority which appoint ed him, is well settled by the case of the Commonwealth vs. Houseman, 100 Pa , 229 But the suggestion has been made that, as tho appointment of the major must be confirmed bj the select council, this body, In conjunction with the major. Is ically the appointing power To this I cannot agree. In the case of Eane against the Com monwealth. 101 ipa , page 481, the Su preme court decided that tho governor had the power to remove the city re cordei of the city of Philadelphia, not wlthstandtng tho provision of the Con stitution, Article 4, Section 8, which declares that he shall nominate "and by and with the advice and consent of two-thirds of all the members of the senate, appoint" certain officers there in specified, etc Mr Chief Justice Mer cur in delivering the opinion of the court in that case, said: "Thus, when over and wherevei the Constitution speaks of the1 appointing power, it rec ognizes it as being vested In the gov ernor Nowhere does It declare that the senate can appoint. The whole tenor and spirit of the Constitution. In speaking, of the power of appointments, recognizes that It is lodged in the governor." Appljing this decision to a municipality, I have no dlfllculty in coming to the conclusion that the maj or Is the appointing pow er, nnd hence has the power of removal. However, in determining the validity of this ordinance, it is not necessarj to base an opinion upon the power of re moval vested In the mayor. Tho municipality Itself, by the proposed or dinance, goes further thnn to merely remove the appointed officer, nnd nbol Ishes the office Itself, which it had previously created. It is well settled that the legislature has power to abol ish an ofllce during the term of the holder Donohugh vs. Roberts, It W N C, ISC WHERE POWER IS VESTED. And the same power Is vested In the municipality as to the offices created by It The law upon this point Is well stated In Vol 19 of the American and English Encyclopaedia of Law, page 5G2, r x "Municipal offices may be abolished, extended, altered, or ucnted by the municipal authority by which they were created, or by the legislature by which the corporation was Itself cie ated, nnd where the leglslntme has confener upon a municipality the au thority to create offices, It mav abolish offices so created by It even though the term of tho Incumbent has not ex pired " 19 American and 'English En-cj-dopaedla of Law, page 562, r. x Therefoto In my opinion the proposed ordinance is vnlld, and may be legally enacted Very truly jours. A. A Vosburg, City Solicitor. Council simply oidered the opinion re ceived and filed Mr Calpln started a long discussion by introducing a resolution dlieetlng the moyoi to Inquire by what right the Scranton Railway company is laying tracks on Arthur avenue He was up that way a few days ngo, he said, and saw that tho track along Arthur avenue had been almost com pleted He undei stood the mayor had stopped this wotk lust as It was be gun, and he nlso recalled the fact that Mr Keller at the last mooting had In troduced an ordinance grunting the company permission to proceed with the laying of the track. CAUKED HIM TO WONDER. The fact that this ordinance was only well started on Its way through coun cils, caused him to wonder how the company had secured Its right to pro ceed In the face of the mayor's orders to the contrary President Keller, by way of explana tion, stated that the railway company Continued on Pago 7 Bargains Today ON Peaches Bartlett Pears AND Plums.

He also spoke of the absolute necessity of the anthracite and bituminous miners working In harmony. If either ever ex pected to gain anything. Secretary Pearce gave some Interest ing figures concerning the strength of the union. There are 90,000 men en rolled, he said, and over 60,000 of them are paid up and In good standing. The last annual report showed a surplus of $26,000 In the treasury. Both the rolland the treasury are steadily gi owing, he said. He also made the statement that, at present, there nre 23,000 miners on strike in various parts of the country.
