Sec. 7. Vacancy in office of mayor or councilmen; how
filled.
Whenever, from any cause, a vacancy shall occur in the office
of mayor, it shall be filled by the council and a vacancy in the
office of councilmen shall be filled by that body at its next regular
meeting from the qualified electors of said city, and the officer
thus elected shall hold his office for the term for which his predecessor
was elected, unless sooner vacated by death, resignation,
removal, or from other causes. An entry of said election shall
be made in the record book. If the mayor of said city or a councilman
shall remove from the city limits, such removal shall operate
to vacate his office.
