FOREST GROVE WINS
115 BIG SEWER CASE
Attorney E. B. Tongue, For City,
Fight 3 Year For Victory
CITY NEED NOT PAY DEcre-d
Suit Wa Brought Against City
Three Year Ago by Contractor
Judge Hubert (i. Morrow, of
Portland, Ijist Friday handed
down a decision releasing the
City of Forest (irove from pay
ing fur its sewer system, the com
plaining contractors being the I'.l
liott Construction Company. )'..
II. Tongue, of Hillslioro, w.ii the
attorney in the case, aand he was
assisted by Jay Jintvcrmari, The
case is the biggest one in Ore
gon's municipal history outside of
Portland, mid never before has
been won so sweeping a victory
by a city of Forest (irove's class
in the annuls of Oregon's juris
prudence. Forest (irove has a
sewer system which is not using,
but, perhaps, can be used with a
little expense, and under its con
tract the Court declares it need
pay linlhing.
Statement of the Case
On October 7, lit 15, the City
of purest (irove let a contract to
the Elliott Contracting Company
to install n sanitary sewer system
in the City of Forest Grove at a
contract price of 58.48.00 and
for the installation of n sanitary
sewage disposal plant nt n con
tract price of 1150.00. The con
tract provided that the city should
pay fur extra or additional work
according to nil ilemi.ed schedule
of prices. The Elliot Contracting
Company's bid was the lowest bid
by several thousand dollars, and
several thousand dollars lower
than the original estimate of the
city engineers.
The contracting Company at
tempted to install the sewer sys
tem during the winter of 1!M5
nnd '1(1 which turned out to In
line of the worst winters that
Oregon has experienced for 25
or SO years. There wns much
trouble nnd much friction be
tween the city and the company
during the period of construction.
During the. Fall of 191(5 the 'con
tracting company tendered the
system to the city as completed
and demanded payment therefor
according to an itemized schedule
and also stated nt the time that
the schedule did not contain items
of damage for which the company
would expect to hold the city.
The city refused to accept the
sewer for the reason that the eon
tractors had not cojn plied with
the agreement in several particu
lars.
Several attempts were in-ide to
settle me mailer wiinoui avmi.
which resulted in the contracting
Company briuirlng a suit during
November. l!l(i, against the City
of Forest (irove in the Circuit
Court in Portland, Ore., through
its attorneys, Clark, Middlcton
& Clark, to compel the city to ac
cent the wer and to pnv to the
eontriiclinir comunnv the sum ox
$ 1 2H.8liS.7U.
The Citv of Forest Grov
throimh its attorney, K. 15.
Tongue, challenged the jurisdic
tion of the Multnomah County
Courts nnd nfter several argu
ments upon" this phase of the.
question the Court determined
that the court in that county had
the power nnd nuthority to try
the case. The case was set for
trial and the late United States
Senator C. . Fulton was em
idoved bv the City of Forest
drove to assist in the defense
When the matter was called for
trial Mr. Fulton was ill and was
tillable to proceed, nnd the mat
ter was postponed, but upon the
trial day the Senator was stilt tin
ble to proceed, and died a short
time afterwards. Jay Howermnn
then assisted in the defense. The
trial of the case, together with
the various adjournments, ex
tended over a period ending with
the !th dav of Jul v. 1019, ntfout
four or five months being eon
, . . I . i I
sumeel m inning tesinuouv.
irreat mnnv legal questions were
involved. At the trial the r.uioTt
Contracting? Co.. admitted that
the system did not comply in
n-rent m.'inv respects with the
n . .
plans and specifications, and con
tended that thev had deviated
from the plans and specifications
upon the orders nml directions of
tjie City Engineer, and that they
had been constructed according
to his directions, and that they
had performed the work as he
directed and that the company
was therefore entitled to its mon
ey notwithstanding that the sys
tem was not n good workable sys
tem. The city contended that the
system was not a workable sys
tem, ilul not comply with the
plans and specification, and the
ontract; and that these docu
ments had been violated over the
protests uud objections of tin-
City Engineering Department.
Something over 100 witnesses
were examined. In the neighhor-
iiiod of 5,000 different docu
ments mid photographs were in
troduced in evidence. A great
many experienced engineers on
sanitary sewer construction were
xainineii, The cross examina
tion of one of tlie engineers fur
the contracting company filmic
ousuiii''d about two weeks.
The case was tried by Hoscoe
i. Nelson of the firm of Iteueh,
.Simon Nelson, anil .Malcolm 11.
Clark, of the firm of Clark, Mid-
llcton Clark, for the plaintiff.
while the city of Forest (irove s
interests were looked after by E.
15. Tongue and Jay Howerumii.
I'he matter was an equity ease
and was tried before Judge Itoh-
rt Morrow. The contracting
company had not been paid any
thing upon account of const ruc
tion work, nnd according to the
leeisiuii of Judge Morrow the
it v will not be compelled to pay
anything at all to the contractor.
