Mayor Thompson told The Day
Book today, however, that an opinion
from Corporation Counsel EttelsOn
holds that the six months is not up
until Sept. 81 because the ordinance
was not signed by the mayor until
Mar. 81. Ettelson was attorney for
the Chicago Tunnel Co., which owns
the automatic system, before he be-
came corporation counsel.

Co. said today is the last day so far
as he knows.

to buy the automatic system for So

claimed the city's share ought to be

cash at least was being stolen from

fought the deal as a mysterious grab
