Commissioners Proceedings Red Cloud, Neb., April 21, Ml The county board met pursuant to adjournment. Members all present, viz: Floyd Mi-Cull, 11. Olimstede, W (J Hoirman, Paul Storey aud T. .1 Chap lin, chairman. It was moved and seconded, that the written opinion of the assistant attor ney geneial and the county attorney In regard to advertising for new bids on the coint house he spread tit large on commlssioneis record which are! y Red Cloud, Neb., Apill 'H, '11)11 County ('oniiuls-ionors: Dear Sirs;- Herewith a letter ftom theolllceof tho attorney .gtuewil on the (luestlon of advertisement tor bids. It would appear that thli should settle the question a'ndthnl. the commission eis might cuter Jute) a contnu't with the geneial oontim'tor and the plumb ing contractor at leist and still luep within the M percent limit. So long as no contract is eiitoied Into In o.Neets of 8."i per cent of tho levy 1 can see no objection. It Is a general custom to advertise for sealed bids in tho letting of con tracts for public improvements, the object being to secure the best respon sible bid in tho open market, this end has been already accomplished by the recent advertisement under the Hum mel act aud in tho absence of an ex press statutory requirement for adver tisement for bids I can see no good reason or object In re-advertlsemeutut this time. Iu my opinion no contractor who was awarded a contract under the former advertisement has any legal claim against Webster coonty for the reason that the entlro ptocedure was under a void law and the bidder us well as every other person is presumed to know the law. Yours truly, Fued M.umun. Lincoln, Nob., April 18, lull. Fred B. Maurcr, Esq., County Attorney of Wobster County, Red Cloud, Nebraska.
