Corporation Counsel Sam! Ettelson,
has rendered an opinion that the or
der is illegal.
"Ettelson has not a leg to stand on
in giving that opinion," said Aid.
Buck. "Chief Healey has always
had the right to revoke at any time
he pleases the license..of any private
policeman. If the administration
wanted to enforce the council order
directing the wearing of stars on the
outside of the coats and private po
lice and factory sluggers, all it would
have to do would be to direct the
chief of police to revoke the licenses
of those who would not obey the
order."
