City Attorney Lane advised the Board of Public Works yesterday that it had no right to award the contract for the reconstruction of the Sixth-street sewer in an amount in excess of $49,00, which was specifically designated in an order foresail, staysa The Board of Works assumed to make a contract at $53,226 70 and Lane holds that | the resolution passed subsequently by the Supervisors adding $5000 to the first amount set aside cannot be construed as conferring jurisdiction upon the Board of ‘Works to exceed the limitation placed by the original ordinance. The opinion con- tinues: “I beg to call your attention to the dan- ger of such procedure. 1f the Supervisors fix the amount to be expended for a pub- lic improvement and the Board of Works awards the contract at a larger figure it is manifest that all those contractors who might have desired to bid at the higher figure would have reason to complain, as they were misled by the board's action.
