link said that he felt that in justice to
himself and to the people by whom he
was elected. he should express himself
upon the subject of the city attorney
ship. "I'o Mr.. Adams personally" he said,

I have. He was active in this campaign
The Charlton ordinance was an issue, and
l feel that If Mr. Adams We're elected he
could not be in sympathy with the board
on this matter If the people Of Savannah
had a voice, the city attorney would be
changed. i believe that it is due to the
people by whom we were elected that
every member of this board should go on
record in this matter, and l move that
the rules be suspended and an open ballot
be taken by calling the roll"
