COUNCIL MUST ELECT MAYOR ,ct of Legislature Prevent- Spe? cial Election t" Fill Municipal Vacancies. In order not to crabarrua.i the City Council or force a hurried election of Muvot without due consideration, It 1? probable tiiut Mayot Richardson win defer qualiiylng a? Judge of th< llust iiu,-.

The commission as judge win not be Issued until next week oy Governor Mann, who ha* merely noti? fied the Mayor of his intention "f mak? ing iti. appointment vfter the com? mission is Issued t!i?'

Moore against the city of Richmond, and since the city Is a party In th. Be coses. It Is regarded as desirable that they be beard by an out-of-town Judge. Even were Mayor Richardson t" qualify at once, i- is probable ?-. at he would ask that another Judge designated to hear these eases. Mayor Rlchardsop also has an en? gagement ot two years' standing to at? tend a convention of Knight- of I'ythlas I in Denver early in August, and had j planned to leave hero Saturday on thai trip, which would probably kec|> him j out of th- city until about August 20. Hi has taken no vacation this summer. | and he and Mrs. Rh hurdson had an-; tlclpated taking the tr!;- to louver as their summer vacation. While the new appointment nukes it uncertain > whether he can go to Denver, the Mayor Is Inclined, if it is practicable, j to carry out the plan. ! As pointed out in Tlie Tlm.s-D.spatch . yesterday, the law provides that the! president >?' the Board of Aldermen may only servo as Mayor In the ab? sein ? ? of the Mayor from the city or In I case if Iiis gtckhess or inability, b?t | there Is no provision by which lh0 prea- j Idem of the Board of Aldermen may] serve In the rise of the death or res- j Ignatlotl of the Mayor.

In the election by t .? Council, no member of either branch of tin Coun- \ cil would be eligible Several members Hof th.- Council nr? ambitious In regard ! to the mayoralty. There has I.n an effort to see If some plan could not be devised by which Judge Soutliull could Issue a writ for a special ilcctlon to lie held early In the fall, thus allowing any citizen to announce his candlJacy. "No special election can be held,' stated city Attorney Pollard yesterday afternoon, when his attention was called to the report that Judge SouthaU might Issue a writ for an eleCtlan for Mayor. "The city charter was specif? ically amended to lift us out of that dlflli ulty. The,,. is n0 dp?bt |n tho world about the fact that tiie Council must elect the Mayor in the eyent of a vacancy, and that that election muri hoi,] un? til tli. next succeeding general election in which a Mayor may be legally elected. Since by the Constitution a Mayor may not be elected with other i city officers in the fall election, It necessarily follows that tili next sue- j ceedlng general election In which a Mayor may he legally elected will bo the Council election on th.- second Tu. day in June, l;.] j. "The charter of the city was amended i by action of the General Assembly to avoid the v,.|y difficulty of calling spc- | clal elections.

In that election Mr. Pace was selected.
