 Even Aldermanic President Pat rick M. Perrlcllo criticized attitude of certain Republican aldermen, however, when, after a recess of the board as whole and the general agreement as to the transfers, these members attempted to about-face on the understanding relating to passage of the salary item for At- torney Scully. Alderman Burton II. Walker, with President Perriello, the Democratic alderman pointing breach of faith, finally provided odds favoring the transfer and the recommendation was made by Al derman Kingston, after the matter had been clarified from the fi- nance board minutes by City Clerk John P.
