Tho hiring of Attorney Newbury wns felt by membors of tho council to bo advisable, and to as sist City Attorney McCabo, against tho array of legal talent that will bo marshalled by tho electric company, Tho next step In tho matter will bo the demand of tho electric com pany for 115,000 duo to tho company for olectrlo lights.
