Vosburg, former city solicitor, that he had no right to institute suits against former city officials and their sureties, involving city funds held in closed banks, with out express authorisation of council and Mayor Stanley J. Davis. Attorney Vosburg, who has himself been named as a defendant in one of three actions brought by Solicitor Myers, has protested to the councllmen against the letter's move. The head of the city's law department has made it plain in filing the suits that there la no reflection on the former officials, and that the proceedings merely constitute an attempt to determine whether or not the bonding companies can be compelled to make good for city funds deposited in banks which subsequently closed. Attorney Vosburg, it is understood, based his protest to council on the fact that all city.

officials who handle funds must deposit them in banks which have been designated by councilin resolutions approved by the mayor as city depositories. Solicitor Myers, it is understood, Is prepared to cite court decisions which show that authorisation from council is not required when the head of the law department decides to institute court proceedings. The cases brought thus far name former City Treasurer George Deckel nick, former Solicitor Vosburg and former Police Magistrate John P.
