At the Court House on Tuesday afternoon a case was, tried over an excavation made in the Township of Piftsburgh by John Bennett. | The latter had undertaken the ¢ 2a-| tract to dig the drain and the total] cost of it amounted to $1,500, or] $79.55 morg than the contract call-| r. Me. Benoett sued for a declaration that $79.56 in a tax id be taken off the coblector's| roll. The defendant claimed tha.| the amount was legally charged; against the plaintiff. The plaintiff was represented by | A. B. Cunningham, while the Town- | ship Council had W. F. Nickle, and | A. E. Day to fight their cause.| Twenty witnesses were: called <o| give evidence. | It was pointed out that the law | absolutely prohibited the engineer! enteritg upon the contract for the consequently there was no jurisdiction to deal with the mat-| ter. i Judge Madden decided that the award made by the Township En-| gineer was void and invalid and] nO consequene gr acquiescence giv-! en by Bennett can give the En-| gineer the jurisdiction he clalwe, | The notice of finding of such juris-| diction was not given to Bennett | as required by law. The judge found that the advertising for tenders was insufficient and in fo way in compliance with the provisions ot the law relating to drains such as this. The law must be strictly fol- lowed to fix the basis upon which the expenses for the work dome be placed upon the roll. The court ordered the sum to be the collection roll and the lands of Bennett to be re-| leased from any such charge - and | Bennett receivé full cost of expen. | es from the Township. 1 Col. J. A.
