DUBE'S CASE
IS MUCH
MIXED

The case OF Israel Dube against Ezra
alleged deceit was submitted TO the
appellate division OF the supreme court
today on defendants demurrer. De-
PENDANTS were members or the building
committee for school in Bristol and
represented 10 the plaintiff that they had
authority TO locate the school.
Relying upon this statement plaintiff
went TO work on the site under the d.
rection OF the defendant.
II seems this committee had no au-
thority 10 locate the school. the law plac-
ing such authority exclusively I'm the
hands OF the school committee. Plaintiff
was not posted on the law in this regard.
There are two grounds OF demurrer 10
the first count. First that the de-
PENDANTS we're agents of the town, and to
all acts In their capacity within the scope
OF their authority the town and not de-
PENDANTS would be liable. Second. that
plaintiff was chargeabIe with the knowl-
edge and was In law bound 10 know that
neither the defendants nor said town had
any authority or right to locate said
schoolhouse.
This r. another phase OF a strange mat
ter. AZ town meeting the electors OF
Bristol appointed defendants In the pres
est case committee 10 build school.
Mr.. Dube did work on the sight selected
by this committee. which a jury in his
suit against the town valued at s4,125. The
appellate court set this verdict aside, say
ing the committee had no right 10 locate
the school and ordered judgment for the
town entered
Now II is set up that Mr.. Dube, hav-
ing endeavored 10 hold the town liable
cannot proceed against defendants
