ceived from the Mayo Association) for this purpose. Any additional
verification orcertification of deposit, which you or the C.A.A. may
require, will be gladly furnished upon request.
Will you kindly take the -steps necessary to secure the -State funds

Yours very truly,.

The following communication from the Mayor was read and upon motion by Theel,

May 17. 19148
"Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester
Gentlemen:
The Secretary to the Mayor, Mr. Hooper, has received for his
services no compensation whatsoever from the City of Rochester
since April 12, 1948. An aricle appeared in the Post Bulletin
on May 11, 19148 crediting Mr. Wemmon with the statement that •
Mr. Hooper's appointment had not been approved by the City
Council and that he was not on the City pgroll.
It would appear that the President of the Council'is in error on
several counts. Mr. Hooper is still on the payroll and officially
in office. I refer to Section 18, of the City Charter which
definitely states -"All officers of said city, whether elected or
appointed, shall hold their respective offices for the term of
one year, AND UNTIL (the capitals are my own) their respective
successors shall be elected or appointed and qualified, except
as otherwise provided in this Charter, ("Otherwise provided" in
the Charter is removal from office for cause and after a trial,).
Recognizing that the Council does have authority to fix the salary
of the Mayor's Secretary by resolution -as provided for in the City
Charter, nevertheless I am prepared to po#nt out in court that the
-resolution fixing the salary of the Mayor s Secretary is void, also
that you have acted with an arbitrary, unjust exercise of authority,
and against the public interest in attempting to establish my
secretary's salary at $600.00 a year.
Respectfully,
Claude H. McQuillan
l41ayor of Rochester"
