Oommunicitlons will not he considered SUPREME COURT GARBAGEJECISION (Continued from Pace 1) to be found in Article 11 of "An Act Concerning Municipalities" as amended in 1920 P. L- 572,'Whifch requires that where the sum expended exceeds $500.00 the governing body shall advertise for bids "and shall award the said contract for the doing of said work, and for furnishing of such materials, supplies or labor, to the lowest responsible bidder,'' subject to certain exceptions not material to be pan considered. This aot would entitle the lowest bidder • to have the contract awarded to him if he was a qualified, responsible bidder, and it is not denied that he is- We do not. th^nk that the City • Commissioners have any authority to' Violate this statute simpfly because, which is the fact in this case, one of the health officers of the adjoining townsnip wrote a letter stating that the place selected by Rodan would be less objectionable to that . township than the place selected bv the lowest bidder, because it appeared the adjoining township had an ordinance forbidding the dumping of garbage in that : township, and a single7 health officer could not set aside that ordinance, or advise that it would not be enforced. Thus, so far as the record shows, all the bidders had to take their chance whether the township would perm* either of them to make a deposit oi ,the garbage in that township; ail they had to do was to provide a place of deposit outside erf the city limits, subject to the restriction that it would ' not be prejudicial to the public • health of the city, and the reason for which the citv rives for ignoring the lowest bid has no legal foundation. Their duty required them to award the contract to the lowest bidder who was only required to find a place of deposit outside of the city limits which might be disapproved by the city if in fact it was prejudicial to the public health, but - that condition does not exist for thf only reason for which the city gives for rejecting the lowest bidder is that they. had reason to believe the place selected by Rodan would be less objectionable to the authorities of the adjoining munici- ' , pality than the one indicated by* the lowest bidder, the two places being only about three quarters of a mile apart, the testimony showing that either was an isolated location. We think the lowest bidder was entitled to have the contract awarded to him, • end let him take the chance of satisfying the commissioners that it was not prejudicial to .the public health of the city, for he might find another location outside of the city where no ouch prohibitive ordinance existed, and if he did, then the city had rtb right to disprove, if its use for such •purposes was not prejudicial to public health. The location was no part of the competitive bidding. The resolution awarding the contract to Rodan will be set aside with costs. , Filed May 6th, 1922. • ENOCH L. JOHNSON, ... » j" . " . Clerk. The above decision was rendered as a result of a brief legal skirmish between the City of Cape May and Ratrick H. Hunt, Frank Green and Robert Keith over the awarding of a contract to remove the garbage from Cape May. At a recent meeting the cothmission awarded the contract to David W. Rodan, On the grounds that his dumping ground' was more satisfactory. Keith, being the low bidder, claimed . that the should .vfcave been awarded the contract- because of the fact that his bid was made in accordance jvith the ordinance and that he , bwrurnished the required bond. On Tuesday the commissioners were made acquainted with the de- i cision of the Supreme Court at their J regular weekly meeting when Solicit- t or Stevens explained the documentCommissioner Wentael! took the floor and after a detailed discussion • - from beginning to end ' insisted that - at np tifne bad , the color question en- i tered his mind and hp. immediately' made a motion that the contract be awarded to Robert H. Keith. Objection was made to this motion by Mr. Sheppard, who stated lhat he w»s opposed to going any. farther on the garbage question and fkvoredphe old system of eollettions.

Therefore, be is resolved, that in |the death of Brother Enoch R. Hand, we have, as a lodge sustained the -toss of an active and'oonsistent member. . and as individual [members, ithe companionship of a true and worthy brother.
