PROPOSAL CONTRACT
BONDSHEN LIABLE
Double Security for Service
of Rural Carriers.
IMPORTANT COURT RULING
Decision Holds Surety Company Liable
After Contract Is Awarded and
New Bond Filed.

The Treasury Department has won q
suit In the court OF appeals at New
York, which win affect the bond OF
every rural mail carrier in the employ
or the Government. The effect is to
give the Government double security
Tor the faithful service of every carrier
Aotfon was brought In the Federal
court Of New York against the Nation
al surety Company to recover on the
Dond OF one Colgrove. q rural route
carrier In southern Florida The de-
cision gives great satisfaction to Treas
nry and Postoffice Department officials.
When an applicant for a position as
carrier files his bid for a rural route
contract the bid must be accom-
panied by a bond. This is known as the
proposal bond" and the general i'm
preston has been that 1t ceases to be
operative as soon as the contract is
entered into by the claimant and a
second bond furnished for the faithful
performance of the duties OF the posi-
ton.
Test Suit Filed.
This opinion has been contested by
the case of Colgrove action was also
brought against the proposal sureties,
Towles & Hughes This action was
brought in the courts of the southern
district OF Florida
When the case against the National
Surety Company was called for trial the
court sympathized with the contention
of the defendant that the company was
only responsible on its bond after 1t
was shown to be impossible to collect
through the action brought against the
proposal sureties.
When informed of this ruling by the
New York court. Solicitor o'Connell
at once dismissed the Florida case and
forced the hearing. in New York The
Government won the case and obtained
a second favorable decision upon an
appeal
The action of the New York court in
deciding that the Florida case should
have been tried first, raised but did
not dispose OF the question as to the
ability OF the Government to recover
On proposal bonds.
Further Litigation Likely.
Inc question VIII De decided by the
court ii the surety company decides to
bring an action against the proposal
bondsmen to recover contribution. 1t
Is generally believed that this Will be
done, as the question is one of great i'm
portance to all surety companies
II the contention of Solicitor O'Con-
nell proves to be correct the surety
companies could recover contributions
in every case where they have made
good on route carriers bonds The pro-
posal bond was intended primarily to
make certain that the bidder enters into
the contract after 1t is awarded to him,
but also provides for surety for the
faithful performance of his duties The
fact that a second bond has always
been obtained when contract is
awarded has led to the belief that the
proposal bond had ceased to be opera
tive.
