Head Matter:
G. EDWARD MYERS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, v. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Submitted May 15, 1936
Decided June 4, 1936.
Before Justices Bodine and Heher.
For the defendant-appellant, Edmund A. Rayes.
For the plaintiff-appellee, Frederick F. Richardson, Morris Roth and Stephen V. R. Strong.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Plaintiff had judgment against the county of Middlesex for the storage of a snow plow and services rendered in assem bling tractors and plows for clearing snow. The case is entirely devoid of any evidence that a contract was made by an authorized agent of the municipal corporation or had ever been ratified by it. Potter v. Borough of Metuchen, 108 N. J. L. 447; 155 Atl. Rep. 369; Ratajczak v. Board of Education of Perth Amboy, 114 N. J. L. 577; 177 Atl. Rep. 880.
The judgment, therefore, must be reversed.
