CITY SOLICITOR
Report of the City Solicitor
Honorable John M. Kelleher, Mayor, Members of the City Council:
Gentlemen:
In accordance with Chapter 14 of the Revised Ordinances of the City of Newbury- port I herewith submit my report.
1. June Daye vs. the City of Newburyport
An action of tort in the Suffolk Superior Court, arising out of an alleged defect in a sidewalk on Hale's Court by reason of a defective coal-hole, adjacent to the Premier Theater. The suit was for the sum of $25,000.00. It was tried for eight days before a Suffolk Superior Court Jury in the City of Boston. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant, the City of Newburyport.
2. Adelard J. Gosselin vs. City of Newburyport
This was an action involving the validity of the City Ordinances as whether or not they were properly published and more particularly the validity of Chapter 19A, Section 3 of said Ordinances, wherein the City Council required confirmation of any ap- pointment for the position of Police Captain. This case necessitated a meeting of the City Council on March 3, 1942, confirming Neil T. Kelleher, the present incumbent to said office of Captain. Further progress on this matter was as follows:
1. On March 10, 1942, there was a hearing in the Auditorium of City Hall. This hearing was continued after the introduction of some of evidence.
2. The continued hearing on the same matter was held April 8, 1942. At this time the Mayor and the City Council voted to notify Adelard J. Gosselin, that he held the position of Captain illegally.
3. After a petition for Review of this case was filed by Adelard J. Gosselin under Chapter 31, of the General Laws, this case was heard in the District Court at Newbury- port on May 21, 1942, before Associate Justice Viccaro who heard the matter at the re- quest of Nathaniel N. Jones, presiding Justice of the District Court of Newburyport. On July 8, 1942, Special Justice Vicarro filed a finding, affirming the action of the Mayor and the City Council, that Adelard J. Gosselin held the position of Captain illegally.

These conferences, which involved matters dealing with the municipality, required careful and lengthy study of the law and consumed on an average, of from 15 minutes to 5 hours.
The City Solicitor calls attention to the fact that the details of these conferences and the accuracy of their number (436) can be verified by perusing a ledger kept by him for that purpose in connection with his duties of office.
Respectfully yours,
BERNARD J. LOJKO,
City Solicitor.
