have the right to make repairs on the buildings under their control,” I have to say that, by Revised Ordinances of 1898, Chapter 32, Section 1, “the Public Buildings Department shall be under the charge of the Superintendent of Public Buildings, which shall, except as otherwise provided, have the supervision of the condition and repairs of all buildings and parts of buildings belonging to or hired by the city not wholly in charge of one department,” and “shall make all repairs and improvements, and do all electrical work in or upon any building or room used by any department,” and I know of no provision of statute or ordinance to control this. Therefore, in my opinion, all repairs embraced within your inquiry should be done by the Superintendent of Public Buildings. Respectfully, ANDREW J. BAILEY, IN COMMON COUNCIL, January 31, 1901.
