NO OBJECTION TO
 EXAMINER ABBOTT
Weatherly Says City Is Simply Con- tending for Principle in Tele-

Commissioner Weatherly issued a state ment yesterday to the effect that he and other members of the commission had no objection to Charles H. Abbott per- sonally as the man to examine the books of the Southern Bell Telephone com- pany. He said that he had the highest regard for Mir Abbott as an accountant and had hoped that the public service commission would name him for its own examination. However. Mir. Weatherly says the commission is contending for the principle of the right to have it's own examiner named and to pay hls ex- penses.
 We contend that the city has the right to have it's own examiners appointed to make this examination under the orders of the public service commission" he said, 'so that we can be prepared in ad- vance of the litigation to present our case to the public service commission on our own theory and in our own way, and we object to the public service commission or anybody else dictating to us how this examination shall be made; upon what lines it shall be conducted and the scope and character of that examination"
