Claims integrity questioned

procedural point because it
had already gone on to
further business.

The incident began when |

Dean objected to ‘rehiring
the City’s lawyers in 1981
because, she said, the City
was paying far too much in.
legal fees.

Thofigh legal fees for Bull,
Housser and Tupper are
listed at $3,600 a month, or
$43,200 annually, Dean: said
the city actually paid
$91,312.16 in 1980.

“We're either paying too
much for litigation or using
the law firm.as a.crutch,” she
said.

At one point last year, she
said, the City was paying
more than twice the com-
bined figure of North

Vancouver District and
West Vancouver were
paying combined.

Marcino objected to her
figures, saying “I get a little
weary listening to these
statements with no facts to
them, that are not sub-
stantiated.”

AS - Wednesday, January 7,'1981 - North Shore News

Dean's figures were just
scrawled on a piece of
paper, he said.

Loucks upheld Dean’s first
point of privilege, and asked
Marcino not to question the
motives or methods of other

council members.

When Marcino referred |

again to unsubstantiated |

figures, Dean interrupted on
a point’ of -privilege'-again.

However, :Loucks“overruled

her and called for a-vote on.
the motion to. rehire the law
firm.

Alderman * Ralph. Hall
opposed the: ‘motion “because
North Vancouver’ District’
also uses Buil;. Housser and
Tupper for legal services.

The same. lawyer, RJ.
Orr, represents both
municipalities, _he* said. “I
question the propriety of
employing the same law firm
as District,” he said... -

“What if we both need Mr.

_ Orr's services on the. same

night? Can we. take the risk
of getting stuck with a junior
lawyer?”
