fered by alderman Rigley ipstructiug the clerk

pending n suit against the city for this bill |
nave taken legal advice from an attorney
whose knowledge OF the law and standing at
the bar entities his opinion TO at least as much
consideration as that Of the city attornev, and
he advises me that this claim is not legal, that
Mr.. Walsh has not renderd the services con-
templated by the act. for which he seeks pay,
and that he cannot cOllecs the bill While Mr..
Walsh is pressing this claim against the city
for collection, he has rendered bills TO the

time. 1 do not believe Mr.. Walsh has anv
right to collect paymentfrom bo6h the city and
county L am endeavoring to stop this loss 10
the city treasury, and to establish precedent
that will prevent the payment of like claims in
the future, and ask the council to Withhold the
