Claims settled by clients subject to the above rates. Charges of examination of records at the usual rates for such service. All collections subject to above rates. Except in cities where rates are fixed by Bar Associations. **NOTICE.* Parties corresponding with Attorneys named in the Directory should always sign themselves “Subscribers to J. A.
