If Samuel S. Adams, Jr., never
performed the duties Of Assistant
City Solicitor, then he has no right
to the $645 which City Council from
time to time, has drawn to his or
der President OF Council Blaine
had refused to sign the checks that
had been drawn to Adams order
until last week when he signed
them. Then Wasthe bargain struck
that if Adams resigned, that the
checks for his back pay would he
signed. The man who did the work
should be paid and no one else. We
do not think that City Council had
any right to appoint an assistant to
the City Solicitor, without consult
ing that official. Council being
Democratic and the City Solicitor Il
Republican, they were ut logger
heads for months over this appoint
ment. Credit is given President
Charles Blaine for the trick to get
out of the Dilemma. 1t worked like
a charm and the Republican party
got an assistant City ~ollcllor and
the Democrats Meat Inspector.
