Mr.. Mayor:-It has just been called
to my attention that Mr. Charles Way
has been appointed as clerk of the
managers in the light and water con-
tract election OF course | do not
know that this is a fact, but If true
you ought to know CT it. Mr. Way is,
1 understand, an employe of the de
fendant in some Office capacity. If so
out of abundant caution he ought not
to act as 1t might furnish matter OF
attack on the validity of the election
l take it that it is the general wish
that this election shall not be liable
to attack by either side for Irregular
ties, but that 1t should finally settle
the matter. Understand l have not
had time to examine into the affect OF
this, but my unstudled judgment is it
friend of mine and | believe one of
the last men in the town to be tam
pered with Respectfully yours,
Francis II. Harris,
City Attorney.
