Alderman Hardy stated: 1t.
is the sense of the council that
at the present time, in order that
we may save as much money as
possible, we should dispense
with the employment of a re-
gular city attorney; that there is
not enough work to justify an
attorney all the time, and when
ever we need one we can piece
it out. However, there are GER
tain matters in the hands of Mr..
Robins that should be completed
by him, particularly the electric
light rate hearing, l understand
that he has yet to prepare brief
before the Corporation Commits
sion, and I move that the Judi
ciary Committee be given full
power to act in connection with
the pending rate hearing against
the Southern Arizona Power Co ;,
in regard to employing attorneys
and rate experts to carry it on
to. successful elimination"
