BOWIE EXPLAINS
 HIS EMPLOYMENT
 IN CITY BOND CASES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I see in this mornings Age-Herald that pr. Barrett is quoted as saying this: I will ask George to tell us how much the city has paid Sydney J. as consulting attorney for cases he has lost which l am satisfied the regular salaried city attorney is capable of losing all by him self, without outside assistance. Tell us how many cases you have employed him in and how many he has Won?'
 As Dr. Barrett is evidently trying to make an issue out of this matter, and has repeatedly referred to it, l ask the privilege of a reply in your columns;
 George Ward has not employed me m any cases When T. c. Mcdonald filed two suits against the city, one affect- ing the city's revenues to the amount of nearly, or quite, $250,000 per annum, and another affecting the validity of the electric light bond issue of S50O,OOo MT. James Weatherly came to my office ana stated to me and my partner, MT. Cab aniss. that the issues involved in these cases were of such great importance that he felt the city attorney should have additional help. He further stated
 that he had been authorized by the oth-
 CT members of the commission to con-
 suit us and see if we would accept em- ,ployment in those cases to assist the
 regular city attorney. We knew, o1 course. the magnitude of the issues that
 were involved, and we told MT. Weather
 ly that we would be glad to accept em-
 ployment as specified and. with him, We
 went to the city hall and entered into
 consultation with the remainder of the
 commission Thereupon, upon the mo-
 tion of MT. Weatherly, concurred in by
 all of the commissioners, we were em-
 ployed in those cases
 | One of the cases, involving the validity
 of $500, 900 for an electric light plant,
 has been won by us The other has not
 been lost, but, upon the contrary, it has been partly won, the city obtaining the righ. to use $34, 900 of revenues an ually, which was challenged in that case That case has been appealed to the su- preme court and will come up for argu- ment in November. It is my belief ano that of my associates, that we have, al least an equal chance to win, and l be- lieve that we should win. This opinion I will add, is concurred in by the Hon John C. Tomson, the leading bond law yer of New York city, whose opinior on the subject has been sought by tht commission.
 l [ have never been employed by the city 1 in any other cases whatsoever. If I an under obligations to anyone, it Is no l to Mr. Ward, but to MT. Weathery l However those who know me will know l that no obligation of that sort, by any 1 possibility, weigh with me, political 1 ly, one way or the other The fee whicl 1 I charged in those eases was extreme ! ly reasonable and my bills were present ] ed to and approved by Mir. Weatherl, i himself before they were paid. Your very truly SYDENI J. BOWIE I Birmingham. October 4, 1917.
