appeal from the decision. Kimball was

SO owes 1t to his private client to see
that the judgment is collected. To
con llicate the situation, Knudsen has
been elected an alderman and will have
a vote in the council on all damage

from participation in any action on his
own account.
Kimball states that he will ask the
