John T. Black, with insfncere corporation with the com mission
 MT Whee1er's charges developed during a hearing on the health de partiment's- request for an additional s590OO to continue the investigation of the factory waste committee for two years more.

OPINION ON EIGHT
HOUR LAW THURSDAY
City Solicitor Hopes to Have It
Ready for Council at Next
Meeting.

City solicitor Reuben Sattcrthwaite
Jr. is hopeful that he viii have ready
for submission to City Council AT the
meeting of that body Thursday night
his opinion as to the constitutionality
of the State law requiring the eight
hour work day on all municipal pro-
jects. Not only the Council. but the
Street and Sewer Department and
other city departments have asked
him for an opinion on the same sub
iect. The opinion to be handed TO
Council will be transmitted TO all the
other departments for their informa-
tion and guidance.
Mr.. Satterthwaite stated this morn
ing that at first glance he believes
the law is unconstitutional, but this
is by no means his official opinion and
'bcfore he arrives at n definite decision
he win have to read large number OF
cases dealing with the subject. lie is
now engaged In doing this.
II was the opinion Of one official this
morning that the law calling for an
eight-hour work day on city projects
undoubtedly OF itself was constitu-
tional, but the law i'm question has
been linked up with the wage auesti IN
and calls for the prevailing rate of
pay and this, II was stated, compli-
ates the whole question.
