POST EXONERATED
IN SUIT BY THE CITY

Ex-Justice David Leventritt who
was named as referee to decide the
suit started by the city of New York
at the instance of Mayor Gaynor in
1912 against the New York Evening
Post to recover the sums paid to the
newspaper for election advertising in
1910, on the ground that the newspa-
per had fraudulently published Sum
day edition on October Is. 1910, which
had no circulation, has made his de-
cision. in which he exonerates the
Evening Post.
MIR. Leventritt rules that the facts
do not even suggest remotely that
the defendant has been guilty of any
bad faith or unfairness in connection
with this transaction" The referee
decides, however that the city is en-
titled to recover the money paid for
one insertion of the advertising on the
ground that by direction of the Board
of Elections the newspaper published
the advertising OF Saturday. October
s.. 1910. instead of on the following
day, as required by law. The news
paper has paid back to the city $3.50
under this decision.
In holding that the Evening Post
must return the money it received for
illegal publication Of the advertising
Mr.. Leventritt said that. since the
law required Sunday publication.
and no city official could override the
law, the newspaper must pay for the
illegal action of the city official, since
this is also the law. Accordingly the
referee finds no fault with the Evening
Post for printing Sunday edition on
Oct. 16, 1910, but flnds against it be-
cause it didn't run the advertising in
Sunday issue on Oct. 8.
The proceeding against the Evening
Post was instituted by order of May
or Gaynor on account Of adverse crit
icism of his administration. He first
referred the matter to Commissioner
Of Accounts Fosdick who said later
that he had made up his mind there
was nothing in the complaint and SO
informed the mayor. In spite of Com
missioner Fosdick's advice the mayor
sent a public letter to Corporation
Counsel Watson directing him to bring
suit.
ma After the case was referred to Mr..
Leventritt, the city amended its COM
plant and withdrew all the original
charges of fraud and misrepresenta-
ton against the newspaper.
