suit was decided by Judge briggs. He

as there was no proper estimate Of the
cost OF the work on file or in evidence
upon the contract, unless the attorneys
in the case would agree as to what was
a proper charge, he would appoint a
master to take evidence on that line,

applies in all contracts wherein the city
is interested, aud that persons dealing
with the city should know for them
selves that they have legal contract
and council has right to make it.
