or nnd hnvlng hlm'recolpt for thorn.'
City Mtornoy Gobs disagreed with
Mr. Upton's vlow of tho case, saying
that In his opinion Mr. Sandborg J
could not collect any salary for tho
first part of Fobrunry, thnt Is from"
tho tlmo tho council first discharged
him .until tho mayor ronppolntod him
nnd ho ounllfled. From tho latter'

It would bo cheaper than a lawsuit.
City Attorney Goss sa'd thnt If ho
was advising a prlvato client In tho

favored by Mr. Powors.
Councilman Coko said ho was
against It that Sandborg had been
paid for sovoral months that ho had
not dono any work.
Mr. Upton Anally said that ho
would ncreo to settle on tho two-J
