COUNCIL TO USE OWN LAWYERS
IGNORES ETTELSON

The constant battle between the
city and the public service corpora
tons is often intensified by law suits
and other cases in court. So the city
council, in an effort to protect the
city, has often engaged special coun-
sci.
Sometimes the administration diff
fers with the counsel as to what ex-
tent and how the city should be pro-
tected. This was evinced when May
or Thompson caused Walter Fisher
to be appointed special counsel to
represent the city in the proposed
sale of the Automatic Telephone Co.
to the Bell Phone Trust. 1t was also
evinced yesterday when the corpora
ton counSeTs office handed an Opin-
ion to the gas, oil and electric light
committee, stating that it alone had
thepOwer to engage attorneys to rep
resent the city and that the hiring of
special counsel was Illegal
The gas, oil and electric light COM
mittee have had occasion to engage
two attorneys. They are Donald
Richberg, who is representing the
city in the rate fight against the gas
company, and Judge Stephen Foster,
who attempted to represent the peo-
pie of Chicago in the Automatic tele-
phone deal, but who was overruled
by the aldermen.
From the way the corporation
council has been drawing up ordi-
nances for the council, and then de-
claring these same ordinances ille-
gal, some of the aldermen have lost
faith in that Office.
They do not care to trust law suits,
involving millions of dollars, in the
hands of attorneys who don't even
draw up an ordinance properly So
the opinion, after some tart discus
sion, was ignored.
