WISE AND NECESSARY

I The members Of the assembly who
are considering the propriety of en-
gaging special counsel to advise them
on the subject of the alleged agree
ment with the street railway company
are following the right tack. This
would not be out of place in any event.
and the circumstances of the case
make it imperative
In a deal of this magnitude it would
be unusual for any private corporation
to trust to the opinion of a single at
torney unless he had proved his con-
spicuous ability on many occasions
and in wide field. 1t would feel safe
in signing away valuable rights, on
conditions of doubtful value, only if it
were fortified with the amplest legal
opinion that could be had. The city
should make equally sure of it's po-
sition.
Without rejecting at all upon the
professional standing Of Mr.. Michael,
it is sufficient to say that he has shown
a singular instability of opinion. He
carried on the proceedings against the
street railway company with great
vigor and confidence UP to certain
point, since which he has confessed to
a despair of which the public had no
previous hint. He has staked his repu-
tation upon legal propositions in con-
nection with this agreement that are
not merely denied, but fouted as un-
worthy Of serious consideration by at
torneys Of the highest standing. Mere
prudence would require the city coun-
Gil to take additional advice.
1t is our belief, from the best infor-
nation obtainable, that the agreement
Itself is invalid as seeking to set aside
the city charter. It confers upon the
street railway company privileges and
rights which the charter explicitly says
shall not be granted except on certain
conditions. Then 1t valves those con-
ditions and relieves the street railway
company from the necessity Of COM
plying with them. We do. not believe
that the council has any more power
to do this than the legislature has to
DO something which the constitution Of
the state positively prohibits.
Legal opinion should be taken. The
whole agreement is made to hinge
upon sleight of hand trick for ex-
tending the time within which the city
can appeal its case. If that trick does
not work, the city gets nothing. In
six months from date it would have no
more control over the street railway
company, no more power to make it
perform its promises. than 1t has over
the king Of England. Excellent legal
authority says that the trick will not
work. and that the courts cannot and
will not regard 1t. We ought to have
more light on that:
No honest and loyal member of the
city council can object to the employ
ment OF special counsel to take up a
work for which the city's legal adviser
Is inadequate. 1t is worth while to get
the best opinion that can be had for
money where literally millions are in
yolved on one side and the most i'm
pertant rights of the city o.. the other.
1t would also be well, In the engaging
OF expert opinion. to make sure that
the gentleman who renders It has no
connection with the legal department

WASHINGTON, March I'm view Of

Better DAYS for Erin

There is no doubt that the new

are now demanding that they be given

are to represent them and to make
their laws in the upper as well as in
the lower branch of congress.-Free-

 will appear in their screamingly fun
 ny exchange Of smart talk and traves-
 ties. The act Is filled with the wltti- est of witty talk that Is twisted into a tangled mess of jumbled English that fairly sizzles with Iaugh-compellins comedy. It Is an act that will be talk cd about all over town after it's first presentation next Monday just as it was in New Haven two weeks ago. James B. Donovan. who Is an old fa- yorilo in Waterbury. has been secured as special feature to present the nov city comedy act that he has brought our this season in conjunction with Miss Rena Arnold and Jay Arnold. The act is entitled Twenty Minutes on Broadway" and consists of a lot of funny stories told as only Donovan can tell them and some lively repartee between Donovan on the one hand and fhe Arnolds on the other. It Is a very amusing comedy sct. thoroughly up to date In conception and the trend of the fun. and is a novelty among the new creations of the season.
