Report of City Solicitor
Boston, Mass .. Feb. 17, 1921.
Hon. Angier L. Goodwin, Mayor, Melrose, Mass.
Dear Sir :-
I beg leave to submit herewith the report of the law department for the year 1920.
The only cases now pending against the city are those of Charles S. Boyce, No. 16171, and John Brooks, No. 16172, in the Middlesex Su- perior Court. These cases were instituted in May of 1909 and during the last eight years, covering the incumbency of the undersigned, no move has been made by the plaintiffs to bring them to trial.
It is, perhaps, fair to assume that they will never be pressed.
The contract cases of Wm. B. Wadland and the Dodge-Stevens Co. against the City, and the tort case of Flora B. Sennott, have been dis- posed of by settlement during the year; and the tort cases of Alice G. Brown and Jacob King against the City have been dismissed.
The usual amount of work has been done in the line of rendering opinions, examining land titles, drawing orders, ordinances, deeds, re- leases and other instruments, appearing before committees of the Legis- lature and otherwise attending to the legal business of the City.
One matter of this sort was in connection with the amendment to the City ('harter which was passed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor March 18, 1920, constituting the advisory committee an executive department of the City Government.
In addition to the ordinary work of the department a revision of the City Ordinances was undertaken during the year and has been carried to completion, except as to one or two changes made advisable by the passage of the General Laws of the Commonwealth, for which changes it is felt further authority from the Board of Aldermen is required.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR S. DAVIS
