As you know, we have a number of.valid points of law which, in our judgment, should bring about a reversal of Judge Feinberg's action by the Appellate Court. We believe that there (Letter contfd) is a possibility that we could prevail upon the Appellate Court that it, instead of reversing and reminding the case for a new trial, might reverse and enter judgment in that court for the City's damages. We therefore, urge most earnestly that we be permitted and in- structed to perfect an appeal and we should like this authority as soon as possible, if the City agrees with our views.
