SAYS SUBC0NTRACT
is MERE EVASION
Injunction Against City i'll the
kendler Claim Argued Before
Judge Ingram.

Claiming that the laws Of the Com
monwealth do not permit members OF
City Council to do indirectly that which
is directly prohibited by the statutes.
David Meade White made an able and
elaborate argument before Judge In.
gram, in the Law and Equity Court,
yesterday in the suit to dissolve the
injunction again the city. restraining
1t from paying the bill OF Thomas NJ
RENDER. or rather the balance of about
$500 due on a contract at the City
Home.
5 What They Claim.
City Attorney Pollard. who held. In
all opinion, that as subcontractor a
member of Council does not come
within the scope of the law. is taking
no part in tho court proceedings. Mr..
White and Councilman James e. Can
ron represent the city. Mr.. S. l.. Kelley
Is counsel for Wiltshire and Kender
y no are seeking to have the injunction
dissolved. Mr.. Kelley. in the opening
argument, took the broad ground that
as Mr.. Wiltshire had not violated the
law, the city could not deprive Mr.;
kondler of his money. the work hav-
lLK been already performed.
MT. White however. argued that,
under the statute the contract with
Render, was Void. He held that the
contract was within the letter OF the
law, that It was within the let.
yer ana spirit Of the law, and
that constituting the statute as a
Whole the contract is prohibited,
In other words, he commended that a
Councilman could not be Interested In
city work as contractor. Mr.. White
quoted the following from a decision
!, OF the Supreme Court OF New York
In case involving the same question:
| NO Councilmu should be ner.

| tuition where his personal interest
will conflict with the faithful ncr-
