aud the Street and Sewer Department had
also paid him S38 for services at Dover.

to the committee, with instructions to

MIR. Quinn was not In favor Of exactipR
an itemized bill. The Legislative com.
mittee did not make an itemized bill of
its expenses; in fact, he did not think
the committee should have been required
| to make an itemized account, as there are
some things in these matters that the
public should not hear. He said the
solicitor had done good service at Dover,
and that his bill was not an exorbitant
one.
The city solicitor said he had prepared
an itemized account of his visits to Dover
In the city's interest, with the date Of
each, but had nislaid II, but he knew the
total number of viHitH was correct.
