Sec. 165. Officers elected by council; term; vacancies.
There may be elected by the council such officers and clerks as
said council deems proper and necessary and any one or more of
said offices may be held and exercised by the same person. Unless
otherwise specially provided, every municipal officer elected
by the council shall hold his office for a term of two years and be
removable at the will of the council. The term of all officers so
elected shall commence as soon as they have qualified and given
bond as required. Vacancies occurring in such offices shall be
filled by the council as soon as practicable. All persons elected
to fill a vacancy shall hold office only during the unexpired term
of the office in which such vacancy occurs. Any officer elected
by the council shall hold office until his successor shall have been
elected and shall have qualified and given bond unless he be sooner
removed. (Code 1932, § 35.)
For provision of the charter in regard to officers and clerks elected by
