City Attorney Saya Commissioner Are Only Agents Where Fnnds Com From Property Owners. When a city contract provides for a bonus for completion of the work before a specified time and a pen alty for - delays beyond that time, the Council cannot remit the penalty if the amount of tho penalty would or dinarily go to the benefit of property owners paying for the work. Such was the ruling yesterday of City Attorney LaRoche in the case of a recommenda tion of Commissioner Dleek for re mittance of part of a 11600 delay pen alty against Gleblsch & Joplin. con tractors, on the Un)on avenue viaduct. The contract was delayed 64 days and the penalty was S25 a day or $1600 for the entire period. Commissioner Dieck recommended remitting all but J500 of the penalty, and the Council referred the matter to City Attorney LaRoche to rule on tho legality of such action. Mr. LaRoche says in his report that the Council Is acting as agent for the property owners, who are assessed for the cost and therefore lacks the power to remit the penalty unless the amount Is paid from some city fund other than that provided by the property owners under the assessment plan. - OPEN EVENINGS.
