ency in poor department $14,400; for re- pairs on Lakeview Sanitarium $2,OOO; for Fairfield avenue highway $3,oo0; for street grading $1,O00.
 The item for public lighting, some s6OO 900 was transferred from the Sec ond District to the First. This trans fer was opposed briefly. but tren- chantly, by Zalmon Goodsell, as lm- posing an unfair portion of the ex- pense upon the First District.
 MT. Goodsell said that the new ar engagement imposes an ir equitable bur- den upon the lot owner and small homea owners in the First district, ana made a plea for the retention of the $6,000 item for lighting on the Flrst District list. The taxpa yers in the First district, he said, should pay for the few lights that they have, and as there seemed to be no present way to tell how many lights they do have, he said, it seemed fairer to leave the arrangement as it lies.
 MT. Cooper said that about five per cent of electric lights were in the First the charge to the First District should be, then, but $3,000 instead of $6,0O0.
 The entire item for lighting was placed upon the list of the First Dis trict subject to revision and withdraw

avoid the contract.
 He concludes: 'In any event, how ever, MT. Ennis is entitled to such compensation as his services are rea- sonably worth. I find the value Of these services to be equivalent to one- third of the, amount recovered or $166.66 instead of S250."
 Some further light is thrown upon what a lawyer may properly charge in such cases, in the opinion of Judge Nobbs, where he says:
 MT. Ennis is a practicing lawyer in good standing, of IT years expert ence and has held positions of honor and trust. He has adjusted and tried many personal damage cases. His usual customary charges in such cases has been a contingent fee of 50 per cent. of the amount of recovery, and he testified that for many years he understood that was the customary fee of attorneys in general in hand ling such cases"

Mr. Phelan told MT. Pierce after the
 meeting that he did not think his motion was parliamentary, or gentle
 manly President Hobart B. French
 ruled that a motion to adjourn was in
 order, while MT. Phelan was talking, the body. MT. Phelan retorted that the
 members had been discussing things
 all night without motions being made, and he thought t{fat the practice should not be violently changed.
 Seven votes were necessary to put
 the matter on the preliminary list. MT. Phelan moved that the matter be ta- bled until the meeting to make the final list, in order that the board might accept a suggestion made by
 President French to wait upon the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co.,, to consider
 any conditions there may be in the contract that are not fair to the city. MT. Pierce and Allan W. Paige ral- lied to the support of .the appropria- tion and said that it had to go on the preliminary list and that it could not go over to the final list.
 MT. Phelan said that he did not know where they got their law, but he was sure that the appropriation could be added to the final list. He asked Pres ident French for "a ruling.
 The president ruled that it was not necessary for it to go on the prelim- mary list to get it on to the final list.
 MT. Pierce argued that the board had better be on the safe side and he thought they had better put 1t on the preliminary as he thought it would be a serious matter if it should be dis covered later that mistake had been made.
