from the S2,O00,000 loan places Coun-

900, and must be met MS the institutions
are in dire need of money
Members of Councils familiar with
~ OF the items rushed through in the

other payments will be held up in other
departments on the ground of their not
being legal. The final amount to be
cut from the loan by the controller may
not be ascertained for some time to

SMYTH TO RESIGN
ASP. R. t: LAWYER
City Solicitor in Moore Cabinet
to Conduct Office Regardless
Of Politics, He Says
SQUARE DEAL FOR CHAR TER

David j. Smyth. appointed by
Mayor elect Moore as the first city
solicitor under the new charter. an
nounced today that he would at once
resign as one of the trial lawyers for the
Rapid Transit Company.
lie also announced he would conduct
ms Office without regard to politics, and
mat every member of the city'S legal
stan would be guided by the spirit of
the new charter. Stating his position
said:
The Office will be run without fear
or favor. | expect that many will be
ready to call me names when they see
now the legal business of the city will
be managed"
The new city solicitor said he had
not gone fully into the legal status OF
past, present and contemplated tran
SIT negotiations, but that he would dc
80 with view to advising the new
. Mayor.
10 Prepare for Transit Problem
MIR. Moore explained that one of the
controlling reasons in appointing Mr..
Smyth at this time was that he might
be able to have the services of city
solicitor in the consideration of the
plans for the Frankford al" which
VIII be put up to the new administra
ton early next year.
With regard to the fact that he will
be the first solicitor under the new
charter, Mr.. Smyth said:
NO doubt the new charter will bc
the subject of litigation and of inter
pretatlon as it is gradually tried out
IN actual experience. For that reason
l nj H., Al. RI
of the city solicitor to be in full sym
pathy with the new charter.
1.-The Mayor elect has said that alI
should co operate to give the new char
ter fair and square deal. and the city
solicitors Office will stand at his right
hand in that work Therefore. mem
hers of the city solicitors staff will
have to be faithful, loyal to the new
charter and be prepared for four years
of hard work.
Politics. Not to Figure
Politics will not figure in any sense,
either in appointments or in intcrprc
tations of the charter" said the city
solicitor. 1.-THE office in that sense
will be like n private law office. | am
now going over the names of prospective
appointees and expect to name assist
ants who will be young and active and
at the same time experienced in the
branches of the city's law work tC
which they will be assigned"
The new city solicitor said he woult
place an experienced man at the head
of both the negligence and land dam
age bureaus of the law department
Those two bureaus he said, provide
the bulk of the city work. These
men, he said will be held "strctly
responsible for the proper conduct OF
the cases.
