SAFETY GATES.


The American Bridge company mas
informed the Levy court mat the
safety gates for Third street Dillge
are done, ana the queslaon mas arose
II they will have to take them. Inc
matter was discussed at the meeting
this morning IL seems that the
bridge committee last year met at the
bridge and discussed the gates and
President Lynn placed the order iof
them. 1t appears thatthe rest OF the
committee had not given thelf consent
as they did hH Know what Inc coSt
would De. 'lhe gates VIII Cost IN Inc
neighboorhDd OF $500. me ques'
ton arose II the law on work over
$500 to be given by contract dld not
cover this case ana II the gales colid
not be refused because proposals iiad
not been asked for the following
opinion was given ny Henry Cohrao'
''Regarding the matter of ordering
safety gates for bridge at Ihlrd
street, ! would say. that wh'le 1t is
evident from the information given to
me that the order for the gates was
given by one member OF the Levy
Court alone without the direction or
concurrence OF the court itself, either
al that time or by subsequent actlon,
yet believe that the Levy Court
would IN law be hold to the con
tract. This opinson Is based largely
upon the fact as stated BY YOU TO me,
that the Levy Court asa oody met
on or near the bridge after the order
had been given for the safety gates,
and that the matter OF surety gates
was discussed somewhat at that time.
and while no action was taken
on the subject, yet 1t seems to me the
whole subject was at that time
brought to the attention Of the
court in a way that would bind them
to the contract though 1t had been
made oy single member.
The duty was upon the court to
disavow liability tor the contraetas
scou as It was brought to the
knowledge Of the members that
such q contract had been made, and
failing 10 take action looking
to the disavowal OF the contract
there would be an implication arise
in law that would bind tho court to
the contract. The only thing to be
done now as regards the order for
their construction 10 soclosely scru.
tinixe the bill when 1t is- presented
and see that an overcharge has not
been made.
The court on Tuesday adopted a
resolution calling upon the magis-
trates and other persons receiving
fines! and moneys belonging to the
county. to make a statement to the
County Treasurer.
The following statement was given
by Clerk of the Peace Quigley,
