ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 99

State; or upon warrant issued on complaint of others to arrest
any person charged with the violation of any ordinance, reso-
lution or regulation, and take them before a Justice of the
Peace to be dealt with according to law, and whenever neces-
sary to incarcerate an offender in such place as is provided by
said Mayor and City Council, until a speedy trial can be had;
and for these purposes the said bailiffs are hereby vested with
the same powers as are now possessed by constables under the
laws of this State, and shall be entitled, in addition to the com-
pensation fixed by the Mayor and City Council, to the fees
allowed constables under the laws of this State, which shall be
collected from the parties arrested and convicted. And the
said bailiffs shall perform such other services as the Mayor and
City Council may direct.

It shall be the duty of each of said bailiffs to report at each
regular monthly meeting, in writing and under oath, to the
City Council, that they have each faithfully performed their
duties required by this section, and which may be imposed on
them by the said Mayor and City Council, and also report all
violations of the law brought to their sight or knowledge within
the time of the said report and their actions in the premises,
together with a statement of fees received by them, which said
report shall be filed and recorded among the proceedings of
the Mayor and City Council. Any bailiff failing to perform
the duties imposed upon him, on evidence of the fact being
produced to the Mayor, shall be removed by the Mayor and
another appointed in his stead, or any bailiff may be removed
at any time by the Mayor, with the assent of the City Council,
when in their discretion he is incompetent or unfit to perform
the duties required of him by law, and while acting as such
shall not hold any other office. Each of said bailiffs shall take
an oath to well perform the duties required of them, or that
may be required of them by any ordinance or resolution or reg-
ulation of the Mayor and City Council, and give bond for the
faithful performance of their duties as prescribed, in the pen-
alty of five hundred dollars, with good and sufficient sureties,
approved by the Mayor and City Council, within ten days after
their appointment, and a failure to qualify as above provided,
within ten days from their said appointment, shall be deemed
a refusal of the office and another appointment shall be made.

SEC. 2. And be it enacted, That this Act shall take effect
from the first day of June, nine-teen hundred and twenty-two.

Approved March 14, 1922.
