The city recorder, how ever, did not want to shoulder the responsibility of taking the uome'off the roll of council members and so as a matter of protection to himself he asked that City Attorney Her mann render an opinion on the legal ity of the contemplated scheme to put Clark out of the council. Hermann wrote hlB opinion and placed It on file with the city re corder. The opinion is a public rec ord and should be pn file so that any one desiring to see It may do so. A representative of The NewB called at the office of City Recorder Wlmberly this afternoon and asked if the opin ion was filed.
