EMERSON LAW HELD VALID
Attorney General Says $780,.
600 Road Can Be Built.

From STAFF Correspondent Of The Tribune
Albany June 1S-The Emerson Prime
law. providing for the construction OF a
road in Essex and Warren counties 10
cost $4,000, was declared constitutional
by Attorney General Carmody to-day
The money is TO come from unexpended
balances In the state funds, and on the
ground that the act does not distinctly
specify the amount OF the appropriation
the State Controller doubted the validity
Of the law.
Mr.. Carmody said there was no chance
for dispute on this score. and that the
contracts for roads I'm Essex and Warren
counties still unfinished could be paid for
from the additional 100000 highway
bonds voted for by the people at the last
election As these bonds have not yet
been issued, the Attorney General advises
roads contractors from the recent issue
OF the states short-term notes.
No doubt" said Mr.. Carmody. these
funds should be obtained as oxpeditiously
as possible, as / understand there Is quito
"A large amount due contractors. and they,
OF course. need their money. and at the
same time an unjust holding up Of the
estimated sum due might raise a question
or violation OF the contract and OF the
bond given for faithful performance Of
the contract"
On getting the opinion the Controller
audited payments of 10000 due contract
ors and VIII audit 5000 more in similar
claims. As there was a balance OF only
$4,000 in the highway fund at the time
OF the signing OF the Emerson act only
about $500 900 is left TO pay for the Essex
and Warren counties 10000 road.

After a fusillade along the sides or the

that there would he no public hearings

there would undoubtedly be one.

that the situation had been thoroughly
