1Opinion of the CourtSiebecker, J.

It is contended on the part of relators that they were the lawfully elected supervisors of their respective wards of the city of Chilton under the general law providing for the representation of every ward in every city in the state upon the county board of supervisors. See secs. 662, 663, Stats. 1898. This presents the question of the validity of the provisions of the act incorporating the city of Chilton, and the acts amending the same, by the terms of which the mayor of said city is declared to be the sole representative for the city in the board of supervisors of Calumet county.
