On Thursday evening the Finance Com
mittee, composed of Councilmen Adams,
Blackman and Derr, with Solicitor
Weeks; met Capt; John R. Lake and his
Council Chamber for a conference regard
ing an amicable settlement of the suit of
Capt, Lake against the city. Mr.. Lewis,
for his client, made two propositions. The
first was for Council to pay the full am
cunt sued for-about S1062-upon receipt
of which Capt. Lake would tender his
resignation as police officer. The second
proposition was for Council to pay the
Captain at the rate of half pay during
the time which has elapsed since his dis
charge, which would amount to about
S720. and continue him on the force on
half pay. As the Committee expressed
itself as being unfavorable to either prop
~osition. after consultation with his client.
Mr.. Lewis agreed to make settlement,
which included the Captains Court costs
and also his resignation. for $500. This
proposition the Finance Committee will
submit to Council at its next regular ses-
sion.
