buses over and upon the territory for which they were recently licensed.

!i
were licensed on First Street Southwest and Second Street Northwest, has
persisted in operating one of his buses just ahead of their schedule, and

revenue received, so either Van Tassel will have to be prohibited to oper-
ate there or be compelled to give the required service.

ate either or any of his jitney buses on First St. S.W. between Second Ave.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the .Common Council, t
Gentlemen:
The above question, is one of both law and fact as I see it. I
shall take up the legal.side only of the matter in this report. Section 295 of the
City Charter provides in part that,,.
{
'No officer's salary shall be increased or diminished during his
term of offices'.
The same section also provides that,
'The Common Council may at any time fix the compensation of any
officer or committee for any extraordinary service performed.'
Under the City Charter it would be illegal to pay Mr. Giere any
more money for services rendered by him as City Assessor duri�ig the current year
unless the Common Council, acting under Section 295 of the City Charter, were of the
opinion by a majority of the members of that body that Mr. Giere, acting as City
Assessor, rendered or performed some extraordinary service in so doings
Respectfully submitted,
James T. Spillane,
