 The matter of providing counsel for E. J. Brothers, who was moderator in the First ward at the last election and who is being sued by Henry T. Blake for throwing out his ballot, came up for a second reading, Alderman Town shend introduced resolution that the corporation counsel be authorized, if he thought it proper, to spend $2O0 for the defense of MT. Brothers in the courts. The case is a test one, and Mir. Blake is urging it that the courts may settle question which might cause serious difficulties later. MT. Blake is not urg- ing it for the sake of causing trouble for MT. Brothers, and it is one in which MT, Brothers has no liability. It is therefore thought harsh that he should be put to the expense of defending the action.
