New' Jersey prevented attendance at the hearing.

I Squire, Sanders & Dempsey has. represented the Cleveland Electric Illuminating C mpany in a wide variety of matters since shortly af ter its formation.

For more than 65 years, such firm has acted, and centinues to act, as bcnd counsel in connection with bonds and notes issued by the city of Cleveland. Both parties are and have been fully aware of such representations. So far as we knew, the integrity of this firm has not heretofore been impugned in the manner in uhich Mr. Hjelmfelt has seen fit to do.

We did not and have never l

while representing one client acted adversely to such client in the interests of the other.

f Respectfully submitted, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey j
