in even-numbered years, except in the first instance after the city
becomes eligible to any such additional Supervisor. Except in such
first instance, the term of office of each Supervisor shall be for
two years, commencing on and dating from the first day of January
following his appointment.
In case of the necessary temporary absence or inability of any

by this charter of elective officers to serve in his stead during
the period of such absence or inability.
Supervisors shall perform the duties required to be performed
by members of the Boards of Supervisors under the general laws of
the state.
