COURT DISSOLVED
THE INJUNCTION
Argument On the Demurrer win Be
Heard At q Later Period.
CONTENTION IS TOO DOUBTFUL
For That Reason Judge Edwards in
His Opinion Puts an End to the
Preliminary Injunction and Will
Allow the Merits Of the Case to BE
Considered Upon Argument Of the
Demurrer at II atPr Date.

Judge Edwards yesterday dissolved
the preliminary injunction granted in
the equity suit of the Barber Asphalt
company against the select and common
councils OF the city. The company asked
to have Clerk Hatton OF the lower
branch enJoined for certifying to select
council the ordinance granting to Dunn
Bros. the contract for paving Monroe
avenue. The court granted a prelimin-
AIRY injunction.
Three of four days later City Solicitor
j. II. Torrey, representing the defend-
ants, filed u demurrer holding that moth
ing definite had been done in awarding
the contract and for that reason it was
too soon to invoke the aid of court of
equity. The argument on the de-
Inurrer will come up in three weeks at
the term Of argument court beginning
Monday, June rs.
The preliminary injunction which had
been In force since Thursday, June 81,
kept the select council from considering
the ordinance for paving Monroe ave
nue., The dissolving of the preliminary
injunction does not dispose OF tho case.
but It allows the select council to 90
ahead and consider the ordinance until
such time as the demurrer ia aUa2led
or sustained. Judge EuWarus ia aia

OPINION IN THE CASE.

The contention in this case involves the
action of the common council of the city
Of Scranton in relation to certain bids for
the paving of Monroe avenue. ON May u,
1895, two bids were submitted to the coun-
ell, one by Dunn Brothers and one by the
the Barber Asphalt company. While con-
sidering matters pertaining to the third
order Of business the council by u vote Of
ten to nine adopted the majority report
awarding the contract to the plaintiff.
Before the council adjourned some Of the
members left the room. and after dispos-
ing of the eighth order of business one Of
the councilmen, who had voted with the
minority, moved to reconsider the action
awarding the contract to the plaintiff.
This motion was carried.
Motions were then made and considered
to lay the majority report on the table.
and to adopt the minority report awarding
the contract to Dunn Brothers The APP
parent result of this councilmanic somer-
sault was to nullify the earlier action Of
the council and to award to one firm a
contract which. so far as the common
council was concerned, had already been
awarded to another. The plaintiff main
tains that the reconsideration, moved and
seconded by members who had not voted
with the majority, was irregular and con.
trary to the rules of procedure adopted
by the council, and that the only legal
action taken was the one awarding tho
contract to the plaintiff.
