Delatiel Smith: Law Deragtwent, Orrice oF THe COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION, i New Youx, May 25, 1874. To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors — GrntieweN—in a resolution agopted by your body on the 18th inst. you request me to inform you in substance AS to right of the Aldermen of the city to aaditional compensation tor their services as Supervisors to the } Muca! division Known to the constitution of the State as the county of New York. ‘The ninth section of chapter 583 ot the Laws of 1871 provides that each member of the Board of Supervisors, exceptung the Mayor, shall receive an annual salary of $2.00. The act oi 18/8, known as the charter, fixes the salary of an Alderman at $4,000 per annum, and pro- | vides that such rend ever. Jary shall be in full tor all services to the city or county in any capacity what- ct jurther provides that no officer eity government shail hold an office under the ernment. except when ex-officio, by virtue of an Legislature, and in which case he shall draw such ex oficio office. Under previous laws the Alder ot this city were made ex nficto Super- visors of the county ot New York. The estion Whether the probibitiong just cited” were valid was argued im September, 1873, before Judge the supreme Court, and itwas held by the Court that act kuown asthe Charter was unconstitution, As it attempted tw legislate on county affairs. An ap) was taken to the General Term and the judgment was affirmed without opposition. In pursuance of that de. cision the Comptroller resumed the payment of the ad no salary ditional salaries until April 9 last, wien be subsmitied the | question for my consideration. Alter stating the points which may be made | against the decision the Corporation Counsel con- | tunues :— With these explanations it is my dnquiry by statin auty to answer your the law now stands declarea by the Suprem ou are entitled to your salaries as Aldermen of the city’ and also to additional salaries tor the pertormance of the ez oficio county duties which are conferred and continue to you under the con- stitution and laws of the state. Your duties as e2 offrio supervisors are dy certain county ditties are of constitutional necessity, re- served to you by the act itself, taken in connection with the explanatory act consututing chapter 405 of the Laws of 1874. These acts contain no express repealing clauses with regard to antecedent legislation. Ido not perceive that the mere {act that the duties of an office, with re- gard to which salaries or other emolumennts have been provided by the Legislature have been diminished or tn- creased, operates to either diminish or incre pensation allowed by law. that the Consolidation Act does nov in any way afect the question yo submit. — aoe ie The Corporation Counsel conciuded With fhe ad Vice that if the Comptroller should reuse to pay the additional compensation to the members of tue Board as supervisors, an action be brought against the city tor the amount and the case be carricd to the General Term and the Court of Appeals for final settlement of thé quéstion. At the conciusion of the reading of the above re- port Supervisor Van Scuatck offered tue (ullowing Tesolution, Wich was laid on the table Whereas from the opinion of the legal C Board it Aphears to be doabtrul whether « se the com- It is quite likely, there(ore, ansel to this not the Board ‘of Aldermen aré entitled to ext pensation ior ser- ‘vices as Supervisors, | Resolved, That from and after June 1 is Board Will no: demand compensation as > The Law Committee then submitted the follow- ing opinion of Judge J.
