MR VOSBCRG'S OPINION.
Scranton, Pa , Sept. 20, 1S33.
Esdras Howell, Esq , City Controller,
Dear Sir. In replv to jour inquiry of
the 19th Inst, I would saj
First That In Issuing bonds In tho mat
ter of North Main avenue. Providence
road and Phllo street sewer, and tho
other sewers vou mentioned, the Inspec
tors' pav nnd Incidentals, must bo first
deducted from tho estimate of the city
engineer, then deduct tho share of tho
city of tho cost of tho Improvement, 1 c ,
its apportlonato share of the estimate
made after deducting the nnttcr Just re
ferred to, nnd issue bonds to tho contrac
tor for tho balnnce The bonds are re
deemable nt tho city treasurer's ofllco as
fast as collections aro mado on assess
ments to pay them Theso bonds are
mado In tho form under which tho city
assumes no liability except as collecting
agent for tho contractor
Second Under the provisions of the or
dinance, tlio estimates must bo approved
b action of tho councils approved by the
major, and action on tho part of tho
Joint auditing commltteo Is not HUfllcIent.
Third Tho Inspectors must bo pild in
cash and not bv lsue of bunds, and a
sufllclent nmount of monej1 first paid in
on assessments should be appropriated for
that purpose beforo tho redemption of
anv bonds
Fourth Where there is a dispute about
the validity of assignments presented, the
safest ulnn Is to withhold the issuo of
bonds until tho matter Is adjusted, as
otherwlso 1011 will not know to whom
tho bonds should bo Issued
Fifth As I am Informed under tho esti
mates lant prepared nnd embodied in an
opinion furnished by mj- predecessor In
office, thcro was a margin of Indebtedness
for which bonds could bo Issued without
a vote of tho people, of about thirty
eight thousand U3S.000) dollars, and as the
lsue of pirk bonds Is thirty thousand
(?30,noo) dollars, It would appear to ba
within that limit
I have mado no examination of this
question mjsclf but nm giving J'ou this
Information ns It comes to me, and you
can verify it by nn examination of tho
opinion on fllo
I do not think it is safe to Issue bonds
for unj' part of tho city's snare of anj
public Improvement fiom this time on,
after the park bond issue, until tho elec
tors of Scrnnton have had an opportun
ity to pass upon the question, as pro
vided bj law. Very truly jours,
