ALLEN, J.
1. Under Sections 4328 and 4361 _ of the General Code, the board of public affairs of a village may not make any contract or purchase of supplies or material for any work under the supervision of the board of public affairs involving more than $500 unless such expenditure is first authorized and directed by ordinance of council, and unless after such authorization and direction the board of public affairs of the village has made a written contract with the lowest and best bidder after advertisement for not less than two or more than four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the village.
2. When either the requirement of authorization and direction by ordinance of council or of advertisement for bids has been omitted, such contract imposes no valid obligation upon the village.
Judgment affirmed.
