Vote To Retain
City Attorney
onih-By-Monih

Pascagoula will hire a city at
torney on a month-to-month bas-
IS as needed, according to action
taken Tuesday by the mayor and
board of commissioners at a reg
ular meeting at city hall.
A majority of the board voted
TO amend an ordinance passed
last June which called for re-
tanning a city attorney on an an
nual basis at a salary of $3.50
monthly.
Presented AT Next Meet
The proposed amendment will
be prepared and presented for
adoption at the next regular
meeting of the board.
No attorney was designated by
the board Mt Tuesdays meeting
and the city is presently without
one as the term of Karl Wiesen-
burg. who has served since early
last year. expired Dec. 81.
The motion for amendment of
the ordinance was made by May
or Dees and seconded by Com
missioner De Jean. with Commits
sioner Ezell voting mo"
More Economical"
In presenting the motion, Dees
said that in his opinion the city
effectively operate by re-
the services of an attor-
ney on a month-to-month basis
as needed, and that in the long
run it would prove more eco
nomical and to the best interests
of the city.
Exell objected on the grounds
that the city needed an attorney
TO represent its interests at all
times. He advocated that an at
torneY be appointed on an an
nusl basis as II would prove more
economical.
Ezell also made a motion that
Wiesenburg be retained for an
other year as city attorney but ii
died for lack of a second.
The proposed amendment will
strike out the annual term pro-
vision of the ordinance, and pro-
vide for the monthly hiring.
