BARRETT, Circuit Judge
(concurring in part and dissenting in part):
I concur in all aspects of Judge Doyle’s opinion with the single exception of the remand for reconsideration of the award for attorney’s fees on behalf of counsel for plaintiffs-appellants. I do not dispute the observation that the trial court’s award of $250.00 does appear to be somewhat low. However, part and parcel of the exercise of discretion necessarily involves an assessment of attitude, sincerity and diligence. There is no showing of arbitrariness and I equate speculation with regard thereto violative of the broad discretion granted the trial court.
