Saul and Sin- , grin the pay rolls on streets and sew- ers were received and warrants or- Regular Session, November 19th, 1908 365 dered drawn to pay the various amounts and the pay rolls referred back to the proper committees. City Attorney Lyon reported as fol- lows: To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: The undersigned, to whom was referred the "matter of salaries of three police captains and as to the rights of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners and the Chief of Police," respectfully reports as fol- lows: Section 679h of Title 5, Chapter 2 -a of the Supplement to the Code of Iowa, 1897, provides as follows: "All police officers and policemen, except the chief of police, * * * shall be subject to removal by the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners for misconduct or failure to perform their duty, under such rules and regulations as may be adopted by said Board whenever said Board shall consider and declare said removal necessary for the proper management or disci- pline of said department; but the chief of police may peremptorily sus- pend or discharge any member of his force for misconduct or neglect of duty or disobedience of orders; pro- vided, that any person so suspended or discharged, within five days there- after may appeal to the said Board, and said Board shall investigate the causes of his removal or discharge, and if the same are found insufficient, he shall be reinstated." In the instant case the officer in question appealed from the chief's or- der. and the Board, after subjecting him to a penalty, reinstated him. It is my opinion that upon the ex- piration cf the time fixed in the order of suspension, the officer, upon report- ing for duty, would be entitled to his position on the force, and as the sal- ary annexed to a public office is inci- dent to the title to the office, and not to its occupation and exercise, the of- ficer would be entitled to receive a ca.ptain's pay from the time of the expiration of his suspension, whether he was permitted to perform a cap- tain's duty or not. Under the authority vested in the Board by the section above quoted, it would seem that, while the chief of police has power to suspend or dis- charge a member of his force, his action, under certain conditions, is re- viewable by the Board, and any dis- position made by them of the ,nat- ter is final. The council having authorized only two police captains, the city can be held responsible for only the salary of that number, and it follows from what I have already stated, that the officer appointed to temporarily fill the place of the suspended officer, would only be entitled to a captain's salary during the term of suspension of the captain. I have been informed, but not authoritatively, that the officer who was reinstated by the Board, was re- duced in rank since the expiration of his suspension by the chief; if this be a fact, it might alter my opinion as to who would' be entitled to the captain's salary after the date of the reduction. I give no opinion on this phase of the question, however, at the present time. Respectfully submitted, GEO. T. LYON„ City Attorney. Report was, on motion, received and filed. Ald. O'Rourke moved that the Mayor ask the Police and Fire Com- missioners to meet with the Mayor, City Attorney and Chief of Police to get the Markey case settled. Carried.
