"Frequently suspicion is aroused in the minds of some citizens that those who propose such projects are seeking personal benefits from them and I have heard such rumors in this instance. At this time no contract has been made either by the Mayor or the Board of Waterworks Commissioners for the employment of any auditors, attorneys, engineers or other personnel in connection with this purchase, nor for the employment of any paying agents, trustees, bond salesmen, brokerage houses, nor anyone else for the purchase of the bonds and the field is wide open for all such employment, and, I, therefore, feel that now is the time for me to entirely efface myself from any control or participation in this phase of the acquisition of the Gas System. You have already eliminated yourselves from participation in this portion of the project and I desire to eliminate myself at this time so that the citizens may know full well that no possible profit can arise to me out. I of these transactions. "The Water Board did not readily agree to enter into this field of work, but I feel that we have the right, as the elected officers of the City of Little Rock, to'call upon the Water Board to perform this service for the City. They are the only operating utility board familiar with the facts of such operations and with records of the experience of the City in the acquisition of a like utility. They have finally agreed to accept this responsibility and for this I am truly thankful. They are men of high integrity, of good judgment and ability. They have the confidence of the whole citizenry of the City of Little Rock. They are neither elected, nor appointed by anyone who is elected in the City. They are free from politics. There is no reason for them not to perform this service from any pressure and they should get the best contract and the best results possible to obtain, in the handling of this matter for the City. "They will face opposition which is not only strongly entrenched in the City, but which is staffed by very capable lawyers, engineers and politicians in addition. To meet this challenge the Water Board will have to equip itself with the very best skilled and efficient personnel obtain- able. Unfortunately, the City cannot say to the Water Board thay they will pay in cash promptly and in all events the fees, salaries and wages of these employees. The money can only come from the Gas System, when acquired, and the employment of these highly expert and proficient men must be conditioned upon their payment being made after the acquisition of the Gas System. This is an added burden to the Water Board, but as a City without funds for this purpose it is the only method that the City can use. I do think, however, that the least the Council can do is to state to the Water Board that if and when they have made such contracts and they have been performed and the Gas System has been taken over that the Council will approve and pay the contracts made by the Water Board with this personnel for the fine services that they will be compelled to render to secure the System. "The Water Board will not be expected nor requested to participate in the election. The matter of informing the public and conducting the campaign to enlighten the citizens on the question at issue and to offset any propaganda of the Gas Company will be carried on by the Mayor and the City Council." _ which message, requiring no action, was automatically received and filed. (See. Resolution No. 1718). There was then presented Resolution No. 1718, entitled: ` 16 August 26th, 1946 - Cont'd.

In connection with the proposal to purchase the distribution system of the ' Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company there was then presented the following comminucation from T. -J. Gentry, City Attorney, dated August 22, 1946, addressed to the Mayor: c "Yesterday it was called to my attention that the City is contemplating employing special counsel in order to facilitate the purchase of the distribution system of the Gas Company. "As you know, I have not been called upon by any City official for an opinion or consulted as City Attorney about this matter in any respect. Nevertheless, I am fully cognizant of the amount of legal work and the time which would have to be spent in performing the necessary functions in this matter: I am confident that the City Attorney is able to do this fob without the City going to the expense of employing special counsel. "It is felt that it is my duty as City Attorney to represent the City in such matters and to strenuously and vigorously oppose the City use- lessly spending any sum of money to employ a7 special attorney or attornyes to perform this service for the City. "It would be appreciated if you would favor me with your opinion upon this matter, and convey the contents of this letter to the City Council." which communication, requiring no action by the Council, was automatically received and,' filed.

Porbeck, be immedi- ately and completely turned over to the City of Little Rock; (2) That a cash indemnity be provided to makeup the deficiency In the value of the 18 acres in MacArthur Park and the value of the Porbeck site; (3) That acceptance of the site for the immediate construction of a Veteran's Administration Hospital be made and that if con- struction not be started within 12 months that the title of the property be revested in the City of Little Rock; (4) That assurance in writing be obtained from responsible executive officials of the Veteran's Administration and that upon the granting of the 18 acres in question, there will be immediate use of it for construction of a Veteran's Administration Hospital. We, therefore, resolve that the Mayor and City Council be memorialized to effect the program set out in the foregoing paragraph."
