Knight Law Is Invalid,
Court of Claims Rules
Allowance of Extra Compensa.
ton 10 Road Contractors Is
Held Unconstitutional
From a stnr Cortsatond1nt

"
ALBANY, Feb. "A decision handed
down by the Court of Claims TODAY
declares unconstitutional the KNIGHT
law permitting highway contractors
who incurred losses because of the In
creased cost of material and labor due
TO the war to file claims against the
state. Claims. filed with the Court OF
Giaims under the provisions of the act
total almost $5,000,o00. The law was
passed in 1919, when $3,000,000 was ap-
propriated to meet these claims. Last
year an additional $4,oOo,oo0 was an
propriated.
The Court of Claims, IN holding tie
act unconstitutional, declared that It is
imperfect, in that it allows extra COM
pensation to a contractor and further
violates the constitution in that II
andits and allows private claims against
the state. The prevailing opinions
which were handed down in the case Of
the Dale. Engineering Company, which
sought to recover SGT ,405, were written
by Judges Morschauser and Alderman.
Judge Smith dissenred. :
The same question may be raised
against the Walters law of 1918. giving
