Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>From the differing provisions, clear and pronounced, in the two charters of the city of New Orleans (that of 1882 and that of 1896) respecting the membership of the City Council, and the reservation made in the charter of 1896 relative to the Council in office at the date of its passage, and the care observed to continue in force existing laws not inconsistent with the later enactment, is deduced the legislative intent that the change in the manner of Ailing vacancies in the Council as provided in the later charter over what it was in the earlier one, was to apply to city councils to be thereafter elected, and no! to the Council then and now in existence.</p>
