Burnap, who is now em- ployed in a government post office de- partment in Washington, is present ing a claim for exactly one year's salary, $1,800, against the Norwich Board of water commissioners, based upon supreme court decision render~ ed last week for Mr. Burnap in the appeal taken to the supreme court by the water board, Judge Gager wrote the opinion on' the appeal, in which all the other ‘justices of the supreme court con- Ted, in saying that the Norwich wa- ter board had no legal right, in ef- fect, i constlitute themselves into | intendent and those of general man-|. ager, as those terms are understood in a manufacturing business. The au- thority of the board to appoint and employ a superintendent has not,,so far as appears, ever been questioned, nor , would it seem it could weil be questioned. It is an implified power necessary to the ‘accomplishment of the purposes of the board. It involves the hiring, but not the creation of an office. The finding is silent as to any special condition necessitating the leg- islation -of 1917.- But the legisla- ture and not the court is the judge of the policy and necessity of its aetion. ‘We must assume that the legislature ‘could have torn myself /.0 ] pieces. Could not do 1ay ! work. Was disignred for time be¥ag. |+ "“Was treated but got no reli¢. I ! was advised to use Cuticura {Soap the legislature of the state of Con-‘ necticut and repeal an act passed by | the legislature as they did when they abolished the office .of superintendent of the Norwich water department. The legislature created the office ‘the decision says, and the board of sater commissioners had no power to abolish it. The atlempted ahplition was in effect an attempt to repeal an act of the . lezislature and acchm- plish an unlawful removal of the appellant (Burnap) from office. Judge Joel H. Reed's judgment of restor- ation was properly rendered upon the facts found. Mr. Burnap’s claim for salary runs from the' date the board voted to abolish the office to the time a year later when the city meeting by vote repealed the act undef which he was appointed. What the water boardis attitude as to paying the claim on i making a further legal figlit has not yet been announced. Judge John H. Barnes. counsel for Mr. Burnap, has already presented the bill to the water board and has not heard one way or tae other from them. Reciting the legislative act of 1917 concerning the superintendent of wa- ter works of the city of Norwich, the opinion goes-to say: In June, 1917, pursuant to the pro- visions. of this act the appellant was appointed superintendent of water- works of the city of Norwich. at a salary fixed by the board. June 28, 1818, the board of water cbmmission ers adopted -2 resolution without no- tice to the appellant and without any hearing, providing “that the office or gosition of the superintendent of wa- er works be and the same is here- by abolished,” and caused a copy of said resolution to be mailed to the ap- pellant on June 29, 1918. The appell- ant to the judge of the superior court is based upon the claimed invalidity of the vote of June 28, 1918, and the claim that in effect - thi action amounted to a removal of the ap- pellant from his office without hear- ing and without cause and contrary to the provisions of the act. It is substantially agreed that the specific question is, did the legisla- ture, by this act, create the office of superintendent of water works, or did the act merely authorize the creation of the office by the board of water commiissioners? If the legislature cre- ated the office then the board of wa- ter commissioners has no power to abolish it, or to remove the occupant of the office for cause and after full i hearing. By whom then was the of- fice created? Discussing the duties of the two of- fices, president and superintendent, the supreme court decision goes on to say that “the distinction between the duties of the superintendent and those of the president were analageous to s of mill super- i i that between the du intended to accomplish some ‘practi- cal change in the legislation affecting the powers of the water board, oth- erwise the act would be only. change justifying legislative ac- tion which appears on the face of the act is to convert what had before ben a matter of empioyment by the board into a matter of appointment by the board to a legally created of- fice with a tenure dasting until re- moval for cause, and all duties and compensation to be determined by the board. That the act does not catego- rically create the olfice and then pro- vide how it shall be filled, is not ma- terial. The power of removal from an oflice is quite different from dis- charge from an employment. It may have seemed wise to the legislature that a position of this practical im- portance intimately related to the wel- fare of the city, requiring for ' the successful performance of its duties, knowledge only to be gained by expe- rience in the locality in which the works are located, and familiarity with the actual operation of the wa- ter system should not be subject to the will of changing boards, or to the vicissitudes of local politics, and that the needs of the public would be better served by’ the legislative crea- | tion of the office with performance of tenure and. subject to removal only for cause. ¥ . The defendant contends that the act in question is a delegation of pow- er; that it does’ not create the office, but gives the board power to create it, and that any office the board in its dIscretion can create it can also abol- i The latter part of this propo. sition may be conceeded. Still the primary question remains, by whom was the office created? The defendant bases' its argumedt upon the use of the word “may.” and argues that no office is created til the board acts, that the office thus becomes a crea- tion of the board and therefore may be abol'shed by the board. Te de- fendant's claim ignores the recognized difference between an office and the incumbency of ‘an office. The office comes into existence by force of the act. The officer is later appointed by the board. An office once created is a legal entity not depending for its e ence upon whether it is in fact filled. Whether " in a statute s mandatory, . direetory or permissive is often a ‘question of difficulty. We assume as too obvious to require ar- gument _that the office of superintdnd- ent of water works is for the upblic interest and public good. The board ent of water works is for the public to appoint a superintendent. The pub- | lic interest and public good requires thus appointment. In such case “may” is mandatory. This is stated as the settled law of both England and America. DELEGATES TO D. A. R. CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON The regular monthly meeting of Faith Trumbull chapter, D. A.
