Hope To Go Over Head Of Gardner
At a Trades and Labor Assembly committee meeting last night the group decided to hire an attorney to pursue the referendum petition matter and to appeal City Solicitor Gardner’s opinion to the state attorney general for an official ruling. They expect the AG's view could reverse Gardner and plan another meeting with railroaders' representatives to discuss further steps. Some members doubt this will yield decisive results and push for an immediate initiative to start action rather than contest Gardner's opinion.
