Honorable Mayor and Council,
City of Wyandotte
Michigan
Gentlemen:
The question of city official do
ing business with the City of Wy
andotte is covered by paragraph 1876
section 6 under general performance
regarding officers in the charter of
the City of Wyandotte which reads
as follows:
mo member of the council or any
other officer of the city, shall be
directly or indirectly interested in
any work, business, contract or serv-
Ice (other than official services, the
expense, price or consideration Of
which is paid from the city treas
ury, or by any assessment levied by
ordinance or resolution of the coun-
Gil; nor be the surety of any person
having any contract work or busi-
ness with said city for the perform
ance Of which security may be re-
quired, nor be the surety on the Of
fetal bond Of any officer of the
city. Contracts in violation of said
provisions herein specified, offend
ing against the provision of this
section shall upon conviction there
Of. be fined not less than five humid
red nor more than one thousand
dollars, or be imprisoned in. the
county Jail not less than one or more
than six months, or both, In the
discretion Of the court, and shall
forfeit his office"
1t is my opinion that the charter
commission In drafting said charter
intended that a liberal construction
should be placed upon this parti-
cular section, and it Is my further
opinion that the court would so
hold. In a similar case brought
against a neighboring municipality
covering the same question, the court
held that this particular section did
not cover what the law terms as q
casual contract covering services
and supplies, but was meant to
cover . continuing franchise with
