ment, wherein the census enumerators have completed taking the
census, reported the same to the county auditor, and the county auditor
has made a return of the same to the executive council, such
return showing such city to have a population of fifteen thousand
or more, the city council of such city may immediately appoint a police
judge the same as though the executive council had completed the
canvass of the census and certified the same as official. All cities of
the second class appointing police judges as herein provided shall
within two years after the official census returns are published abolish
such police court, unless such city completes all necessary steps to
become a city of the first class as provided by law. In cities of the
second class not having a superior court the mayor shall hold police
court, as now provided by law. Any officer or assistant elected or
appointed by the council may be removed from office at any time by
vote of a majority of the members of the council, except as otherwise
provided for in this chapter.

SEC. 4241. Street improvements and sewers in certain cities.
Cities under the commission plan having a population of more
than twenty thousand, and in which is situated no city cemetery, but
contain within their confines a cemetery established for more than
twenty years, and is conducted by a cemetery association or corporation
operated not for pecuniary profit, and which cemetery contains
more than forty acres and is so situated as to for a distance of more
than fifteen hundred feet bar access to the city, which cemetery has
a frontage of more than fifteen hundred feet upon one of the main
traveled streets or highways leading into said city, and upon which
street or highway a street car track is laid, and which street or highway
is so situated as to make it impracticable to levy special assessments
against a large portion of the abutting property so situated,
are hereby authorized to avail themselves of the provisions of sections
thirty-nine hundred twelve, thirty-nine hundred thirteen, thirty-nine
hundred fourteen, thirty-nine hundred fifteen, thirty-nine hundred
seventeen, thirty-nine hundred eighteen, thirty-nine hundred nineteen
of this supplement and thirty-nine hundred sixteen, thirty-nine hundred
twenty, thirty-nine hundred twenty-one and thirty-nine hundred
twenty-two of the compiled code, for the purpose of building, repairing
and paying for sewer under and curbing and pavement along and upon
said street or highway in front of such cemetery ; and for the proportion
of the cost thereof not properly assessable against such street car
line and not justly assessable against abutting property other than
that owned by the cemetery association, in addition to all other levies
now authorized by law, may, in lieu of the provisions of section thirtynine
hundred nineteen of this supplement, levy an annual tax not exceeding
one mill upon all taxable property excepting moneys and credits
contained in said city, or any principal division or district thereof
as may be determined or established by the city council. The tax
herein provided for may be accumulated from year to year until such
special fund is sufficient for the purposes herein authorized. And such
city may anticipate the collection of such tax under the provisions of
section thirty-nine hundred twenty of the compiled code.
