QUINN OPPOSED
TO PRETTYMAN
Appointment Is Termed Out.
rage to District by
Lawyer.

The appointment of E. Barrett
Prettyman as corporation counsel for
the District was called IAN outrage
to the District of Columbia" by Henry
I. Quinn at meeting of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations last
night.
Quinn, a member of the Board of
Education and a fellow lawyer, said:
Every one knows that Prettyman,
a resident of Maryland, did some
good work for the party during the
last campaign. He was given the
job of counsel to the Internal Revenue
Bureau as his reward. When it be-
came necessary to ease him out of
that, a deal was arranged by which
he became corporation counsel of the
District.
81 have the highest regard for
the individual, but there is no doubt
that his appointment was an outrage
to the District of Columbia"
Quinn's remarks came during the
discussion of a resolution introduced
by George E. Sullivan, chairman of
the federation's Committee on Law
and Legislations calling upon the
corporation counsel to appoint to
vacancies on his staff bona fide
residents of the District of Columbia.
Prettyman is resident of Maryland.
Two vacancies are to be filled on
Prettyman's staff, and there has been
considerable political speculation as
to the prospective appointees.
The federation also considered one
of the vacancies, created by the
resignation of William A. Roberts to
become peoples counsel, in another
resolution. This opposed a scheme to
make the peoples counsel legal ad-
visor to the Public Utilities Commits
sion, because it would have natural
tendency to hamper the independence
of the peoples counsel if he were
also burdened with the duties of legal
advisor to the commission, and be-
cause the legal advisor to the commits
sion is required to represent the COM
mission in legal proceedings to present
its viewpoint, which is frequently at
variance with that of the people and
Of the peoples counsel, and the latter
is required by law to represent the
people in all legal proceedings involv-
ing public utility matters, thus dem
onstrating the practical impossibility
of joining the two offices"
This resolution, in addition, asked
the Commissioners to insert in the
1886 budget appropriations for a full
time stenographer and a research as
sistant for the peoples counsel.
Both resolutions eventually were
passed by unanimous votes.
