ACT NO. 1534
AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF ELECTIVE MUNICIPAL OFFICERS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF TIVI, ALBAY, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PRESENT TERM
WHEREAS though six elections have been held, elective municipal officers have not yet been legally chosen in the municipality of Tivi, Albay, for the term of two years beginning on the first Monday in January, nineteen hundred and six; and
WHEREAS there seems to be little prospect of a fair and honest election being held in said municipality, owing to the great bitterness existing between the factions there and the illegal means to which said factions have shown themselves willing to resort; and
WHEREAS the good of the municipality requires that the prolonged contest be terminated: Therefore,
By authority of the United States, be it enacted by the Philippine Commission, that:
SECTION 1. The Governor-General, after receiving the recommendations of the provincial board of the Province of Albay, is hereby authorized to appoint suitable persons to fill all municipal offices in the municipality of Tivi, said province, which should have been filled at the last general municipal election but which have not yet been filled for the present term by legal election; and, upon the qualification of the persons so appointed, the persons now holding said offices shall vacate the same. The persons thus appointed by the Governor-General shall have the same qualifications, rights, powers, and duties as regularly elected officers, and shall hold office for the remainder of the term for which there has been a failure to elect and until their successors are duly chosen and qualified.
SECTION 2. The public good requiring the speedy enactment of this bill, the passage of the same is hereby expedited in accordance with section two of "An Act prescribing the order of procedure by the Commission in the enactment of laws," passed September twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on its passage.
ENACTED, August 30, 1906.
