THE NEW YORK AVENUE INJUNCTION CASE
Yesterday. in the case OF Hardness ct al. apt
the board OF public works, before the court in
general term, On which MeSsrs. Dayidge Gov
COombs, Appleby and Edmonston appeared for |
cOmPlalnants and Cook and Bond for defend |
ants,l Mr.. COOmbs commenced the argument
Tor the complainants. He read the 37th Section
CT the organic act, and argued that there no |
appropriations covering the contract, and II |
was therefore without authority OF law He re-
ferred next 10 the plan OF the board saving the |
amount 20 be expended on New York avenue
lith al 10Th streets, was 1000 less 20 Der cent
and claimed that over S12l 600 were ACTUALLY
spent. Sections one and two OF the act of the !
legislature OF July 10. ISL, limited contracts to
the amount named in the plan. less % Der cent
Tie contended that the four million act REQUIRED
that amount to be expended according TO the
San section OF the organic act. He next re-
tCrred 20 the contracts giving dates e. and
said that the contract for paving New York ay-
eEue. between 14th and 18th streets WAS given
to Filbert in September, 1871. The extension
OF the contract, April IS, 1s12 10 Oh street was
without due authority OF law, and there was
virtually no contract for the i've additional
Squares.
Mr.. Coonbs concluded his argument.
MT Phillips followed for the respondents. He
said that there were two defences. one arIsiny
and The other on the demurrers, which al

must be alleged, either multiplicity of |
suits, iTreparable injury. or cloud upon title
