u made motion, seconded by Alderman .
~ Featherston the Ordinance No. 23,190S .
NJ be re-adopted said Ordinance fixing
FY the sarary of attorney at 100000 per
/ '%year this covering every thing, where
/ lDupon Alderman Sherrod made mo-
IA ton amending this motion being sec
i onded by Alderman Patty, that the
ET Attorney be paid $4,000 per year,
@ and in case he had to go into Cir
vi cult or Chancery Court, the fee for
Nv such service is to be agreed upon by
I the attorney and the Board before
E going into the case, which motion was
~ carried by a vote 8 to 2.
IA The Mayor then vetoed this amend
N ment as follows:
To the Hon Board of Aldermen of
N the City of Macon
N Gentlemen:
At regular meeting of the Mayor
~ and Board of Aldermen of the City
NJ of Macon held at the City Hall this
M 7th day of March, 1922, it appeared
ii that ordinances numbered 49, -P7-71
~ and 81 repealed that part of Ordinance
AQ'No. %, Section One which fixed the
of9t maximum salary of the City Attor-
vi ney at Three Hundred Dollars per
Y E annum; whereupon Aldermen Dare
h made a motion which was seconded
EA by Aldermen Featherston that Ordi-
II N nance No. "a be re-adopted. An amen
Y dment was offered by Alderman Sher
| \ rod seconded by Alderman Patty, ad-
XIII ding except when a case OF cases is
| y defended or prosecuted in Circuit or
4 Chancery Court and in this event the
/ Il Attorneys fee shall be agreed upon
II before going to Court. This amend
Nment was voted on and adopted
II | am forced to withhold my appro-
i 9yal of this amendment for the fol-
flowing reasons. viz; 1st. ! believe
Mbe duties of the Attorney are hv no
1heans burdensome. End. He draws
sNbis salary when there is but little
yIMork for him to do which is general
INV the case, and therefore, if it should
|ft9,e necessary for him to handle a case
4I for the City in either the Circuit or
Court. he should do so with
yE,eout extra COMPENSATION. 3rd 7 he
EAI1ieye One Hundred and Fifty
EfDolars per annum would be a fair
