The opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Ricks, dissenting: The ordinance quoted, and on which the holding defeating appellant’s right of recovery is based, I regard as a limitation upon the powers of the corporation counsel, but not as limiting the authority of the. city to employ special or additional counsel when it deems such course proper. I therefore dissent.

Mr. Justice Hand, also dissenting.
