The
FIGHT FIGHT FOR
CONTRACTS
Mccormick ct al Want Old
Board ReaSSembIed and
Awards Made Again
CITY OPPOSES MOTION
AND CASE GOES OVER

Robert G. Harman representing
Daniel Mccormick ct. al applied to
Superior Court. sitting in special ses-
sion today for a writ of mandamus
compelling the former Board of
Health to assemble and award con-
tracts for the collection of garbage to
Mccormick ct al, the City Solicitor
to prepare the contracts and Mayor
Howell to execute and approve them.
Two other applications for similar
writs are made by Mr.. Harman for
rules to show cause why the Mayor
and President OF City Council should
not approve the bonds of Mccormick
ct. al.
Chief Justice Pennewill, Judge Wool
ley and Judge Rice we're on the
bench. City Solicitor Daniel o. Hast
ings and Deputy City Solicitor John
F Lynn, appeared for the city after
Mr.. Harman had argued briefly in
support of his motion.
City Collector Hastings argued that
the rule to show cause should not be
issued because the petitioner had
failed to show a prima facia case.
Mr. Hastings argued further that
1t cannot be contended tha the Board
of Health ends when the four men,
bers go out of Office because like all
other city departments the business
of the board continues
Mr.. Hastings argued that there can
not be two Boards of Health in the
city at once, and that the court con-
not call into existence board OF
health already out Of existence. Mr.
Hastings also argued that the City
Solicitor is under no obligations to
draw contracts for the petitioners
When the city bodies request the City
Solicitor to act he would do so. Mr..
Hastings said but he has not been
requested by the Board of Health to
draw any such contract. The Mayor
is not compelled to sign a contract
presented by Daniel Mccormick, Mr.
Hastings further argued, until such
contract is presented and approved
by the Board of Health, and only then
would the Mayor be expected to exc
cute such a contract The same
argument applies to the approval OF
the bonds, Mr.. Hastings said.
Following some statements by coun-
sci, Chief Justice Pennewill said the
special session of the court had been
called for the good of the public
health and public welfare. The court
then announced that the briefs in the
former case before the court would
be considered, and should additional
argument be desired the court viii
ask that Il be submitted in writing
on next Tuesday. the order for the
issuance Of the rule being waved by
Mr. Harman until that day.
