iaI Attorney to Prosecute.

HtlUt Ivy W
Owing to the inability of City
Attorney C. C. Hommann TO transact
the business, because of illness, the
Board of Health empowered the com
mittee on accounts at a meeting last
night in city hall to engage special
counsel to act for the department in
a number Of special cases which Will
be prosecuted, the commissioners
state, to the full extent of the law.
1t is probable that the committee
will employ counsel for the special
cases and also continue the services
of the special attorney for routine
matters until Mr.. Hommann is in a
position to resume active manage
ment of his law business.
An effort was made by several OF
The commissioners several months
ago TO GUST Mr.. Hommann from his
position as attorney for the board by
authorizing the judiciary committee
to engage counsel for special cases
then pending. 1t was advanced that
Mr.. Hommann did not perform his
duties in a satisfactory manner, In
asmuch as several important cases
were held up by the alleged neglect
of that official. Mr.. Hommann ap-
peared before the board in person
and replied to the charges. He eX-
planned that the cases were pending,
ETC., and the matter was adjusted
satisfactorily to all hands.
