No provision is made for a continued discharge of the duties of marshal and district attorney by the present incumbents.
The law creates two new officers, whose aggregate compensation may be $12,000 per annum, without, it seems to me, a justifying necessity.
But the most serious objection to the legislation is that it creates at once upon the taking effect of the law the offices of district attorney and marshal for each of the three districts, and the effect, it seems to me, must be to abolish…
The law should at least have contained a provision for the continued discharge of their duties by the incumbents until the new officers were appointed and qualified.
