Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The statement made by your New
Castle correspondent, i'm your issue Of
yesterday, is not true, to wit that
"All members OF Council expressed dis
satisfaction over the refusal Of City
Solicitor Alexander b Cooper to give
legal advice 90 city officials at various
times when il had been asked The
whole matter grows out Of the fact
that city clerk Smith complains and
persstently insists that the city solicit
tor should give him legal assistance in
the performance of his duties in de
tail. as tax collector, without charge.
such detail service is no part OF my
official duty. am solicitor OF the
city but not the solicitor of the tax
collector. and am always glad TO ad-
wise the Council as best ] can and at
any time.
Yours. etc.
AleX b. Cooper
City Solicitor Of New Castle.
