Tho county officials, through John C. Mackay, chairman of tho county commissioners, informed tho city administration ad-ministration that tho county officials felt they no longer cared to have the county utlorne3- prosecute the cases. Attention was called to a letter writ-ton writ-ton the city commission by County Attorney At-torney .1. E. Willc3", more than two mouths aso, in which ho outlined the work which his department was called upon to do and which ho" lelt should devolve upon the city attorney's office. At the time a truce was perfected between the two offices pending the passage, by the city, of ordinances regulating reg-ulating tho liquor traffic within tho city. The ordinances have never been drawn, although City Attorney Dininny has submitted to tho city commissioners commission-ers a list or regulations which ho believes be-lieves can be incorporated iu an ordinance ordi-nance which will stand the test of the courts. Much friendly bantering' was carried on at the meeting yesterday morning, Attorney Diuinny accusing Attorney Wiley of trying to shoulder the cases onto tho city because ho could not se-euro se-euro convictions. "I hnvo managed to secure convictions convic-tions in four out of every five cases I took hold of," replied Mr. Willcy. At the conclusion of the session, which lasted nearly an hour, Mayor Samuel C. Park notified tho county commissioners that he would have the eitv leeal department at once draw up ordinances for the reglation of the trat-fic trat-fic within the city, that the. county attorney at-torney micht be relieved of the prose cutiou of the cases in the future. |
