zngs to compel Mayor Howell to sign
ahe contracts awarded by the recent

Tracts to John w. Thompson, John w.

In court this morning Robert G. Hsr-
5nan appeared for Daniel Mccormick
Slnd the other contractors. while City
Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings appeared
zor the city and made return on the
zrule. In his answer Mr.. Hastings
presented many reasons for a vaca-
Z ion of the rule. He contended that
& he preceding Board of Health in
the advertisement for bids for col
fecting garbage did not comply with
4 he law; that the contract was not
awarded to the lowest and best bid
zier; that the present Board of Health
fescinded the contracts of the former
BOARD and advertised according to law
Tor new bids and awarded new con-
tracts for the collection Of garbage.
Following the filing Of the return
NMr Harman presented the following
Snotion:
And the said plaintiff by Robert
r.. Harman, his attorney, saith that
7he said answer should be quashed
Z and stricken out for the reasons fol-
4 lowing:
5 First: Because said contract was
awarded to the lowest and best bidder.
Second: Because the awarding of
he said garbage contract belongs
Solely and. exclusively to the Board
Spf Health.
Third: Because the Board Of
Health is the body named by law
10 exercise full, sole and exclusive
over such matters.
Wherefore, by reason Of the in
ssuffieiency OF sasd answer as above
BET forth, said plaintiff prays judg-
Sment"
Mr.. Hastings said he was not pre-
pared to argue the case at present
as he wished to prepare his brief,
hnd as Mr.. Harman was in no hurry
provided the court would hear the
Ease at this term of court the court
announced 1t would hear the argu-
ment on Wednesday morning.
