to those who fay ored and those who
opposed the project. AccordiHg ely,

for an attorney to hold up thp com

ing understood that the city attOr-
ney would look after the opposite

interviewed Mr.. Eppes Tucker, Jr.,
as to the probable amount Of his fee,
and he stated that he would take the
case at from $50 to $3.50, dependent
upon certain circumstances. 1t was
finally tentatively agreed that he
should be allowed the same com pen
sation as the city attorney. it being
anticipated that as the later was al
ready drawing a stated salary, he
would not expect,a lee as large as the
one suggested by an, attorney not al
ready in the city's employment.

friendly suit was brought up before

of the fees to be charged by the at
