4 STRINGENT PROVISION.

BY this most stringent provision the act has
cndeavorcd to prevent in every possible way the
recognition or enforcement of any such claim.
and the city clerk who draws a warrant TO pay
for IT, knowing that IL is Illegal. falls directly
within the penalties of the statute and for his
own protection may set this up in a case of this
kind. 1t does not matter that all the branches
OF the govcrnment-mayor, councils anf control
lcr-have found in favor Of the plaintif-this
would not protect the clerk IL he knowingly act
ed contrary to the law and he is, therefore, to be
upheld in the standing which he has taken, not
only for his own safety, but for the good of the
city,
lie serves not the councils only, but the public
by virtue of his public station, and he has a
right to raise this question he does in his
answer in their behalf as well as his own. As we
cannot be expected TO compel him to do act
so prohibited peremptory writ must be denied
Judgment is given the demurrer in favor Of
the respondent that he go without day with
costs.

very title thus diScloscs that the work had al
ready been done, and this is confirmed by what
appears in the body Of the ordinance, namely;

Scranton hereby assumes the payment Of one

laid on Penn avenue, fronting property of John
iiandley. deceased. the executors Of the IIandley
estate having agreed to pay the other half. Sec.
tion q Upon the passage of this ordinance and an
appropriation being available for said purpose the
proper city officer shall draw and issue a city
warrant in the sum Of SOC for the Barber Asphalt
PaNing company and charge to appropriation for
judgments and incidcntals."
We do not sec how the plaintiffs can escape the
charge that this Is an attempted assumption to
pay Tor work done by them which they had no
previous authority from the city to do II so it
runs counter to the statute and Is avoided by II.
In doing the work without such authority they
were mere volunteers and the city cannot be made
TO pay for that which II is in no way liable.
The general municipal act OF 1874 did, indeed,
permit IL after the fact by vote OF two'thrds OF
the councils, approved by the mayor Act May
%, 1874 section 8, r. L. 23l. But the act Of
1850, relating to cities OF the third class has no
such provision and the omission is significant

Judge II. w. Archibald handed down
an opinion yesterday in the Eighth
ward election contest which IL of vast
Importance.
w. II. Thomas, n Republican, was
elected constable of the Eighth ward in
February, 1899, his opponent being
John Il. walsh, a Democrat. Thomas
was elected by five votes and Walsh
Instituted u contest. After the con-
test was under way Senator j. c.
Vaughan introduced bill which was
passed by the Legislature and became
q law providing that in all election con-
tests when it came to the matter Of
disposng of the costs they should be
placed on the petitioners if the contest
did not succeed in showing that the
party contested had not been Legally
elected.
When it came to dsposing Of the
costs in the present case the city OBJ
jected to being saddled with them for
the reason that it had not been shown
that Thomas was illegally elected and
asserted that the proper place for the
costs was on the petitioners. This
position the court yesterday affirmed
as correct and the petitioners will have
to pay the upwards of $1,000 costs
which the contest caused to pile up.
The opinion is of importance because
it is the first time the act in question
has been judcially passed upon and
for the further reason that exactly the
same facts apply to the Lanestaff.
Kelly contest in which costs to the sum
of about 100000 are involved. Like the
Eighth ward contest it was begun be-
fore the act was passed. If 1t shall he
decided when the result of the contest
is officially determined that Former
County Treasurer Kelly was legally
elected then under Judge Archibald s
opinion of yesterday the men who
signed Langstaff's petition will have tc
pay the costs. The full text Of the
opinion follows:
