EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 401

with the Mayor and Common Council at a regular stated meet-
ing.

The Mayor and Common Council immediately upon the re-
ceipt of such petition shall pass upon the legal sufficiency there-
of, and for the purpose of determining whether the requisite
number of duly qualified voters have signed the same, they
shall refer said petition to the Supervisors of Election who
shall report thereon in writing.

If the petition shall be found to be legally sufficient, the
Mayor and Common Council shall immediately order an elec-
tion for the purpose of electing a successor to said officer. The
Supervisors of Election shall thereupon proceed to fix a date
for said election, and shall give at least ten days' notice thereof
in the same manner as they are required to give notice of regu-
lar elections.

The Supervisors of Election shall also sit on the 10th day
next preceding and exclusive of the date of such election to re-
ceive nominations for the office to be filled at such election,
and nothing herein contained shall prevent the officer whose
removal is sought from becoming a candidate to be voted for
at such election. All nominations shall be in the form re-
quired by Section 12 hereof, and all of the provisions hereof
relating to nominations and elections shall be applicable to said
election, unless they shall clearly appear otherwise.

The officer elected at such election shall hold office only until
the term of his predecessor shall have expired.
