REPLY |NBARRETT
LAW AFFAIR FILED
Follows Suit Brought by
Corporation Counsel.

No city official, other than the
treasurer, is authorized to admin
lister the Barrett law fund. it was
contended in a brief filed in Superior
Court today by James d. Ermston,
attorney for County Treasurer Ed
ward A. Ramsay. Ramsay is both
city and county treasurer. A suit TO
restrain Ramsay from using inter
est derived from the fund and for
appointment of a receiver to control
the money has beene filed by Alvah
J.. Rucker, city corporation counsel.
The brief cited that the Barrett
law fund is not a trust but a separate
special fund for the payment Of
contractors. 1t was not created for
the benefit of the city and Ramsay
has not violated the law by invest
ing the money, the brief stated.
Under the law Ramsay cannot be
compelled to turn the money over
to the city, it was contended. Judge
James NJ. feathers indicated he may
rule OF Ramsay's demurrer the lat
ter part Of this week.
