ing Contract for Repairs.
In response to the request for a legal
opinion on the award to H. 1. Gregory on
the contract for repairs of heating appa-
ratus in certain school buildings, the fol-
lowing opinion has been submitted to the
Commissioners by a. B. Duvall, attorney
for the District:
1T appears that the subject matter of
said contracts consists largely, If not en-
tirely, of patented articles, being castings.
etc-parts Of Smead furnaces. The super
intendent of property recommends that the
contract for said castings be awarded to
H. l. Gregory at :sz cents per pound as I'm

Gus to the District.

claims that he alone can furnish these pat
ented articles, inasmuch as he is the owner
OF all the rights for the District of Co
lumbia, in. to and under the patents per-
tanning to the 'Smead-Ruttan ventilating

ents and the right to make assignments of
territory, on November q, 1888, Smead con-
veyed to him, for the sum of $4,000 all his

trfct Of Columbia, Under the patents, pre-
viously owned and controlled by the Rut-
tan Manufacturing Company, and certain
of his own patents, and that thereafter on

formal assignment all right, title and in
terest in certain patents covering the
Smead-Ruttan heating and ventilating sys-
tenn, for Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia.
Il have carefully considered the above
mentioned brief and agree generally with
the conclusions, and particularly with it's
sixth proposition, that the Caldwell COM
pany cannot enter the District Of Column
bia to trade In or furnish any supplies fall
ing within the claims of the patents held
by Gregory for Maryland and the District
OF Columbia
II am of the opinion that If the District
obtains these patented goods through Mr..
Gregory, it can use them without liability
to the claims of others based on the pat
ents, and that It cannot safely purchase
said goods from others or use them If so
purchased without liability to Mr.. Gregory
in view Of the assignment to him.
Il am further IF the opinion that under
the circumstances the Commissioners would
be justified in rejecting the proposal OF
the Caldwell Furnace Foundry Company
and awarding the contract to Mr.. Gregory

the complaint against the sewer was

belief that the sewer is defective.
