HARBOR COMMISSION,
The Law on the Demand for Money Due
Owens Brothers.

The Law on the Demand for Money Due
Owens Brothers.
AT meeting of the State Board Of Harbor
Commissioners yesterday afternoon. an
opinion was read and filed from the boards
attorney, Frank S. Stratton, on the demand
of j. NJ. Wood, as assignee. for money due
f. j. and j. V. Owens.
The opinion is that the board should pay
direct to the parties entitled thereto or
their assignee. There was clause in the
stipulation that the contract in question be-
tween the board and the Owens Bros. was
non-assignable, but Attorney Stratton says
this does not include the assignment of
moneys due Hereunder. In this opininn
Acknowledgement Hart has concurred.
The funds in question amount to 1888 70
due under the contract, $3.50 forfeiture to
the State, which leaves Owens Bros. owing
the State S316 80, so that Assignee Wood
will not have to handle much money, now
that the knotty question Of law is at last
settled.

drawn on for S11, 127 50.
