Sec. 5. Officers and clerks elected by council.
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. The
officers herein mentioned shall be elected or appointed by the
council on the first day of September, nineteen hundred and
twenty-two, or as soon thereafter as practicable, and biennially
thereafter, except when elected to fill a vacancy (which may be
done by the council), in which case the election shall be for the
unexpired term. It may be competent for the council, in order
to secure the services of a suitable person, to elect non-residents,
but such officer shall reside in the city during his tenure of office.
