The City Solicitor, Mr.. Strong, report
Ell that the bond of Thomas G.. Quinn,
collector of delinquent water rents, was
legal in all respects, and that the pow
ers delegated to him were according to
law; that he was authorized TO collect
no bills except those given him by the
Secretary by direction Of the Board and
that they exercise their discretion.
SE. Strong stated that the Board was
not empowered to employ an attorney
for the prosecution of the Investigation
that tnat was his duty eI o6icio, and
one that he thought he had q right to
perform.

man voting in the affirmative and Hill in
the negative.
Mr.. Hilb then requested Mr.. Dannen
hold to not issue any bills to MIR. Quinn

Mr.. Dannenhold declined to take any
action, stating that the Secretary was
alone authorized to act in that matter,
and that if Mr. Hilb wanted to get out an
injunction he could do so.
"An injunction may be necessary
said Mr.. Hilb. "Mr. Quinn may irigl1ten
the City Solicitor and Mr.. Bowman, but
he can not lrighten me-"
Alter considerable discussion Mr..
