We have given so much space to ' the
report of the Council meeting that we
have no space left to make aoy continents
vie migrtt wish to snake on the questions
that raised so much eontoutioc at the
board Morality evening. The action of
the Council in refusing to hear theoX,in-
iorl of the 1'owo Solicitor, a ti loll we give
u'1ow, is worthy of L'Omm„tit, nito Ving a
a luck or judgment, 'vhile the manner in
lvhiccc the Public Works Committee
bus utted indicates an equal lack of
business f.b-lity.
Dear Eir :
.Ln ltnswer to the question submitt-
ed to nee,, .I would say in the first, place
that in tri. opinion the Mayor two: with-
in his rights in refusing to sign the or-
der on the Treasurer fur payment to the
contractor of a sum of money, which in-
ouded an amount believed not
to be propsrly payable. 1 under-
stauri the objections to the payment to
be in two: -First, That "dine the con-
tract required tae retention by th e
Town of )0 per cent. of the money for
one year from last previous pa•ytneist,
the order included this 10 per cant. leas
G per cent. thereof, in pursuance of an
arrangement between the Contractor
and the Public Works Comtnttte.Secuucl
-That the order included payment of
work done in paving lands not portioas
of the public streets.
As Lu the tiret ground or objection. 1
should say that the payment of any pdr-
tion of the 10 per. cent. was unproper.
As far as the material before me goes, 1
do not see what power thePublic Works
Committee liau to vary the contract
made by the Council, without the con-
sent of that body. I believe the second
ground of objection to be also, in strict-
ness, well taken. There seems to be no
contract at all between the Town aua
the Contractor, ai to the paving of
auy thing but the public streets, or for
the payment to bun of any money for
work done on any other property, nor
doI think that the corporation could
make any such a contract. 1 have sug-
gested to you, and would suggest again
now, that . the Local Improvements
clauses of the Municipal Act seem to be
defective in this respect and that our
member in the Legislature should be re
quested at the next session to introduce
au aineudinentgiving the Municipalities
power, with the consent of all persons
interested, to pave snob lands under
proper conditions, and validating such
works as have already been done. With
regard to the Debentures to be issued,
they would of course become valid at
the expiry of three months from regis-
tration.
I am inclined to think, that if they are
guaranteed by the town, a purchaser of
there, would in auy event be safe. If
not so guaranteed, 1 do not see how that
portion of the debenture debt, which is
contracted for the paving of the private
lands, could ne collected by the deben-
ture holders, if the parties assessed
should repudiate it, and under those
circumstances and to that ex„ent. the
Debentures would. 1 think, be an unsafe
security. You ask me also as to the
effeetof settlement wito the Contractor,
upon his liability tokeep tnrepair under
his coatrace. I do not think that it will
have any effect at all. Ile pur-
ports to release the town, but the town
does not release him. He will remain
liable on the guarantee of his work. I
think however that the arrangement will
effect the security which he has given.
His guarantors have a right to say: -
You should have kept 10 per ceut of the
money in your hands for a certain period
to which you rniglit have resorted for re-
pairing defieient work, and you gave it up
wishout our consent . To the extent to
which they ;hay be effeeted by that change
at least, they will be disclharg,.d. I have
not had time to enquireinto the question
of whether the money paid to the con-
tractor could berecovered back. The gen-
eral rule is that voluntary payment can
only be reeovered back when they are made
under mistake of fact, and not under nils;
take of raw, but bore is the farther 'Ines..
tion of whether the payment can 1:e said to
have been made by the Town at all; whe-
ther it should not rattler bo regarded as
money acquired by the contractor, in an
unauthorised way . To this if you desire
I will give further attention.
Yours truly,
Uso. Maclii(tcrta, Esq. E, T,, Dtratsso:t.
