NOTE BY THE REVISER OF THE ORDINANCES. The following analysis was prepared for the purpose of affording a more ready reference to the provisions of the Charter, while the ordinances were in course of revision. After consultation with the Mayor and Committee on Ordinances, it was thought that it might form a convenient appendage to the volume of Ordinances.

ANALYSIS

OF THE

AMENDED CHARTER OF APRIL 14, 1857.

General Powers of the Corporation.

The Corporation known as "the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the city of New York," shall continue as a body politic and corporate, with the enjoyment of former grants, powers and privileges. (§1.)

The Legislative and Executive Powers of the Corporation.

The legislative power of the Corporation is vested in a Board of Aldermen and a Board of Councilmen, who together form the Common Council. (§1 and 2.)

The executive power of the Corporation is vested in the Mayor and in the executive departments. (§ 16.)

The legislative acts of the Common Council shall be by ordinance, act, or resolution, which, before becoming final, shall be submitted to the Mayor for his approval. If approved by him, the same shall become a law. If the Mayor do not approve thereof, he shall return the same within ten days to the Board in which the same originated, (or if not in session then, at its next regular meeting,) with his objections. The objections of the Mayor shall be entered at large in the minutes of proceedings of the Board, and shall be published as required by the Charter. After not less than ten days from the return thereof, the Board shall proceed to reconsider the subject. The votes upon the same shall be by yeas and nays, which shall be entered on the journals of the Board. If at least two-thirds of all the members elected to the Board agree to pass the same, the act, together with the objections of the Mayor, shall be sent

to the other Board for concurrence. If approved by at least two-thirds of the other Board, it shall become a law. (§ 12.)

If the Mayor do not return the act within the time limited, it shall take effect as if he had approved it. (§ 13.)

Legislative acts may originate in either Board, and may be rejected or amended by the other. (§ 14.)

No legislative act shall be passed by either Board, except by the vote of a majority of all the members elected to such Board. (§ 14.)

No legislative act shall be valid unless it shall have passed both Boards within the same year. (§ 11.)

The Common Council shall make annual and occasional appropriations for every branch and object of city expenditure, and no money shall be drawn from the city treasury, except the same shall have been previously appropriated to the purpose for which it was drawn. (§ 31.)

The Common Council shall provide for the accountability of all officers and others in receipt or expenditure of city funds, by requiring adequate security from such persons. (§ 30.)

The Common Council shall fix the number of clerks to the departments, and shall also fix the terms of office of all officers created by them under authority of law. (§ 21.)

The Common Council may establish such other bureaux in the departments, besides those fixed by the Charter, as they may deem the public interest may require. (§ 28.)

The Common Council may assign to the executive departments and the bureaux created by the Charter such duties as they may direct, not inconsistent with the Charter. (§ 28.)

The members of the Common Council are prohibited from having any interest in matters connected with public affairs. (§ 28.)

No member shall receive compensation for his services as such member. (§ 44.)

The Common Council shall not have authority to borrow money, except in anticipation of the revenue of the year in which such loan shall be made, unless authorized by a special act of the legislature. (§ 32.)

The votes of two-thirds of all the members elected to each Board of the Common Council shall be necessary to authorize an expenditure for
