EXPERTS AT ODDS OVER
FINE POINTS OF LAW
Contractors Death Explains All the
Difference Between Them.

Secretary Hitchcock has received
from the Acting Comptroller OF the
Treasury an interesting decision which
reverses two rulings made by the Au-
ditor of the Interior Department The
amount involved is $4.779.51. due by the
Government on a surveying claim in Ne
vada.
The cause of the reversal Of the for
meT decisions was the death of the con-
tractor. Theodore II. Lowe, a deputy
surveyor. who had undertaken to fur
nish the Government with certain sur
yeying work. 1t was distinctly specified
that the work must be done by Lowe
himself and completed before the end of
the current year 1902. A few months
after concluding the contract, and be-
fore doing any OF the work, Lowe died
His sureties were legally bound to sup
ply compassman to do the work and
they named Stewart T. Morse, who com
pleted the work by September IS. 1902

ment Auditor, the agreement specifying
that the work must be done by Lowe
AACNCSoAA0tIN lAC Uuy Va oil GULL
pensation to his heirs, as II the work
had actually been done by him prior to
his death. In reversing this decision
the Acting Comptroller OF the Treasury
holds that loves death before begin
ming the work invalidated the contract
and his heirs should not receive pay
ment for work he did not perform The
acceptance by the Government of Morse
as his substitute and the satisfactory
performance of the work by the latter
require, both by justice and equity, the
Acting Comptroller says, that payment
be made 10 Morse.
In order TO meet this contingency Of
feiaily. the Acting Comptroller finds IL
necessary to make two adverse rulings
one on the decision ordering payment TO
loves heirs and a second one on the
implied decision that Morse was not en-
titled TO the money. The draft for
81. 1881 previously sent to the United
States Surveyor General at Reno has
been ordered returned to the Treasury
for cancellation, after which duplicate
order made payable TO Morse VIII be is
sued.
