THE COMMISSION
OVERSTEPPED
SAYS CARTER

II commission appointed by the gem
eral assembly exceeds its powers and
let's work without advertising for bids
can taxpayer OF the state force the
attorney general 20 interfere and prevent
the commission exceeding Its powers, Is
the interesting question Charles III. c.
Carter OF Providence has raised In the
superior court Mr. Carter's petition for
a writ OF mandamus against Hon. William
b. Greenough TO compel him TO take ac-
tion against the Tiverton bridge commits
sion was to have come up in the superior
court today
BY agreement Of parties the case went
a week. however Mr.. Carter in his APP
plication for the writ says that under the
act appointing commissioners for the
building OF a new bridge over the Saxon
net river between the towns OF Tverton
and Portsmouth the commissioners must
advertise for bids for all portions OF work
exceeding In cost the sum of $500, but
that the commissioners without advertis-
ing entered into contract with the Bos
ton Bridge works to do work costing
more than $1,000.
Mr.. Carter claims he asked the at
torney general TO bring a bill in his
Carriers name against Alexander Church
and Shedd. the commissioners. and O.
Perry Searls. the engineer for the COM
mission, seeking to enjoln them from pro-
ceeding with work on the bridge I'm viola
tion OF the law The attorney general
refused TO so do. hence the application
for the writ 10 prevent the commissioners
exceeding their powers.
Filed with the papers in the case is
the reply of Attorney General Greenough
TO Hon. Walter II. Vincent. counsel for
Mr.. Carter. The attorney general says
he has appeared for the commissioners
In another branch of the same controversy
and adds II do not consider that IL
would be proper. or that / am in any way
legally required to appear on both sides
OF the same case even formally. as IL
would be necessary I'm the event that the
proposed bill was brought In my name
In accordance with the request Of Mr..
Carter"
From my knowledge OF the facts, and
for various reasons / fail to see how the
rights OF a taxpayer OF the state Of Rhode
Island can be in any way affected by a
decision OF the supposed question raised
In the bill, nor can | see how any tax
payer as such can have any legal interest
which would entitle him to obtain a de-
cision of the court in the premises.
