February 10TH. 1921. adjourned from

at-Large Tester.
The following opinion Of the City At
torney: 80,
To the Council of the City OF
Perth Amboy.
Replying to the question OF the legality
Of awarding separate contracts for the
posed new garage and stable. l have to
advise you that In as much as separte
bids were presented by bidders for said
work contracts can only be awarded TO
work. The fact that the hrst part OF
the advertisement stated that bids were
asked for heating and plumbing does
rot in my opinion warrant the giving out
OF the contract tas one Job for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(a) 1t would be contrary to law.
(b) Because in the same advertise
ment It was further provided that certi-
fed checks accompany each bid. for the
separate work. and further because
(c) Each bidder certainly is presumed
TO know the law and he must have had
in mind that he could not bid on the
heating and plumbing" work. as one
job.
Respectfully submitted.
