THE HENRY SUIT.

THE HENRY SUIT.
Davis moved that J. II. McKune be
employed to assist the Corporation Coun-
sci in defending the city IN the suit
brought against 1t by W. h. Henry.
Kent said 1t was against the charter for
Trustee TO submit the name OF any per-
son to perform any work whatever for
The city.
Lawton said it was nearly two weeks
since the suit was commenced and the
first time he had seen The papers was
when he found them lying on his desk
day or two ago.
Tozer said the Mayor informed the
| board that he would do the best he could
IN the matter.
The motion to employt Judge McKune
was carried.
Leonard said the President of the board
should ascertain how the papers got out
OF the Mayors hands. The finding of
the papers in Lawton's desk looked as
though somebody had tried to trick the
board.
