Continuing, Justice Fort says in
his opinion:

mitted fact that the freeholders act

bridge in accordance with the orig

contracted"
The decision further states that
there is no statute limiting the pow
er of the freeholders, and that no
fraud is alleged or shown in this
case.
The justice concludes his opinion
as follows:
1.-THE action of the freeholders
in awarding the contract on the plans
submitted by the bidders without
competitive bidding is, as general
proposition, very Objectionable, and
in a case not shown to be one of
emergency, and therefore finding
some justification and public neces-
sity, it would of itself be sufficient
cause for review, and, as I think
setting off contract made under
such circumstances. The practice
pursued here does not commend 1T
self to me as wise and can only be
justified on grounds of urgent pub
lie necessity.
