CITY OF QUINCY


REPORT OF CITY SOLICITOR


Hon. GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor of the City of Quincy.


SIR: - I submit herewith my report as City Solicitor for the year 1923. I entered my appearance for the city in all lawsuits pending against it when I took office, and have effected settlements of a number of them on such terms as I considered wise and just in the light of the evidence and the law applicable thereto. A few new suits were brought against the municipality during the year, which are still pending.


A number of small claims which were made against the city were ad- justed without litigation.


As occasion required from time to time throughout the year, I advised . the Mayor and the City Council, both orally and in written opinions, on numerous questions, and have given advice to the heads of departments in relation to their official problems, whenever requested.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN D. MACKAY, City Solicitor.
