Albert A. Baker TO prepare an opinion on
certain points involved and for his opinion
az to the best way 10 proceed In obtaining
an eight-hour day for the employees.
Alderman William h. Reynolds raised
the point that II Is the duty OF Commis-

the necessary labor at the lowest price
possible and that he is governed by GER
tain statutes and is not subject TO orders
OF the city council Therefore. he claims
the council should take no action In the
