Will The Railroad's Attorney Look After City's Interest

WILL THE RAILROAD'S ATTORNEY LOOK AFTER CITY'S INTEREST

In the county clerk's office Tuesday the appearance of the Ann Arbor Railroad Co. in the suit of the Michigan Milling Co. vs. the Ann Arbor Railroad was entered by A. J. Sawyer & Son, who signed themselves A. J. Sawyer & Son, solicitors for defendant.

What does this mean? It means that in a suit growing out of the grade separation, the city attorney is the attorney of the railroad. How he is going to reconcile his two duties of attorney of the railroad and attorney of the city, when the interests of the two corporations conflict, is known only to himself. That their interests will conflict must be apparent.
