r The city has a salaried city attorney whose
duty of office 1T is to appear for the city in all
criminal cases brought before the municipal
court. Now it is reprehenslble fact that
the city attorney neglects this duty with an
astonishing frequency. In such events the
municipal judge is compelled to do double
work-for single pay-by acting as both city
attorney and judge. Judge Cooley very gen.
erously submits to this treatment, but the
matter has become question of ALMOST daily
comment and severe censure by the leading
practitioners of this bar. The question very
naturally arises, what right has the city at
torney to draw 81 500 per year without per-
forming the duties of his office?
