not be enforced
MIR. O'Boyle wanted the resolution
passed and the question put to- test
in court This caused Mr.. Chittenden
to remark that the company Is at pres
ent making the citizens present of
all transfers. saving them $4,000 a
month. 1t was foolish, he said, to court
trouble. Such a thing might result in
withdrawal of transfers. Mr.. Quin-
nan concided with this view and said
that there Is very good reason to be-
lieve that the company could not be
compelled to issue transfers because of
the merger OF the separate companies,
whose franchises contained transfer
provisions. The resolution was finally
re-committed to committee.

troduced and passed:

Cross church from payment of sewer

BILLS OBJECTED TO.

The bills, to the payment of which the
controller objects, are as follows: Cor
nelius Comegys legal fee, $3l5: Spruks
Bros, bills for lumber furnished on
June s. June 80 and July Is, $500, $149 Is
and $343.60; p. r. Muligan, paving part

ing fixtures in city hall, $225: John r.
O'Neil, for settees in Nay Aug park,
S1S3.2O.
1t is understood that City Solicitor
Watson, the accredited legal represen-
tative of the city, whose advice, if fol-
lowed by heads of departmental re-
lieves them from all responsibility, fur
nished the controller with a written
opinion two weeks ago, in which he de-
clared that these bills were legal claims
and should be approved by the con-
troller. The latter was not satisfied
with this advice and secured an opin-
ion from Attorney Nj. j. Martin, in
which it was set forth that the bills
are not legal claims. 1t is on this last
opinion that the controller Is making
his stand.
Accompanying his communication last
night was one from City Solicitor Wat
son in reference to the Comegys claim.
Mr.. Watson declares, in direct contra
diction to the controller that Mr.. Com
eggs was selected by Judge A. A. Vos-
burg, at that time city solicitor, to as
sist him in trying the Sturges case. He
says he furnished Controller Costello
with an opinion declaring that under a
third-class city act the solicitor was
authorized to ngage extra counsel.
rms opinion, he says, was disregarded.
lie asked whether or not he should an
peal from the verdict secured by Mr..
comegys, expressing. it as his belief
that the latter is entitled to a Season-
able fee, having tried the case from
start to finish.
REGAN'S RESOLUTION.
After both communications had been
read, Mr.. Regan offered resolution
directing the city solicitor to appeal
from the Comegys judgment, and from
any other judgments secured by any of
the persons whose bills the controller
has refused to approve, and authorlz-
ing the latter to employ private coun-
sci. This was amended so as to ex-
clude the provision providing for an
appeal in the Comegys case, and was
then passed. A resolution was passed
later, specifically directing the city
solicitor not to appeal from the Com
eggs judgment.
Some little discussion was provoked
by the report of the railways commit
tee on the resolution directing the
Scranton Railway company to issue
transfers from the Bellevue to the
South Side line and from the South
Side line to the Bellevue line. The re-
port was an adverse one and was ac-
companied by an opinion from City
Solicitor Watson, which has appeared
in these columns before, in which he

the chagrin of the hundreds OF applicants
from the outside who had been making the
utmost endeavors to secure the places The
appointments in line with the an

promote District employees in every case
where worthy men are TO be found.
The appointments, it is believed will meet
with universal appreciation. 1t has been
known FOR some time past that Mr.. Nc
keuzie Of the auditors office was slate
for the position, and il has been equally
well known to those in close touch with
District affairs that Mr.. Nye was also IN
