Scampton Nomination For Sealer Of Weights Debated
Friends discussed yesterday the possibility of Mayor Scampton sending in his name again to the Board of Aldermen for confirmation as sealer of weights and measures. The Mayor has not decided, citing a statute about reappointment after rejection and prior opinions from Corporation Counsel Richardson. He noted a precedent from ten years ago and debates whether a second nomination is permissible, amid City Hall expectation that confirmation would be refused.
