§ 12. General powers and duties of trustees
The Board of Trustees shall have the general care and management of the prudential
interests and affairs of said Village; shall assess all taxes and make out a rate-bill
accordingly; shall direct the expenditure of all monies belonging to said Village,
draw orders upon the Treasurer and generally perform all the duties legally enjoined
upon them by said corporation, and shall submit their accounts and vouchers to the
auditors at least 10 days before the annual meeting of each year. Said trustees shall
have power to abate taxes laid or assessed by virtue of this charter; to remit fines
imposed for the violation of this charter or the bylaws of said corporation, and to
discharge offenders from imprisonment for the same. The power of said trustees to
abate taxes shall be subject to the same limitations and may be exercised for the
same causes as stated and mentioned in section 2,736 of the Revised Laws. The trustees
shall fill a vacancy in a Village office, and a person so appointed shall serve for
the unexpired time, unless superseded; but the Village may, at any time before the
expiration of such term, supersede such an appointment by a new election at a special
meeting, for the remainder of the term. (Added 1892, No. 114, § 12.)
