ISSUE STILL BEFORE COURTS k - ...i. r- :;. . ,: i State Must Make Amount Crdod if 4 Contest Won by ; Warren Co. j j 'Charges Are Reduced a Half. JTho rtato highway comrnioBion has been reminded By tho Warren Bros. . i Cohipany of Boston that there Is now -and will be due a large amount as - royalty on the bltullthlo pavement ! which U being laid throughout the ji-jrtate.' - ' ; Under the law puied by the last legr- t islature the ; highway commission 'was i authorized to aontoat the validity of the i Warren Bros, patent If It so desired. In, i th'e". meantime the commission has re- 1 quired . that , contractors in bidding on : '. this type of pavement eliminate the Hem ! of royalty, which was to be taken care r of by the state. , , ..' .. ' . ' CHARGES CUT Ut TWO i The last proposal made by the war ' rensBroa. company to the state highway ; lotnmlaaton combines the question of roy , alty' and - inspection In- - the -following j manner : f , uJ"We have submitted to you our prop- ; osition for the. payment of laboratory' , service and patent rights, on the tntu- .i lithio contracts awarded to date. We I 1 call your attention to the fact that we : have made our lowest charge for this i service based on the large yardage in ! volved and which charge Is less than one half of our regular rate for this i service, namely 26 cents per square yard. I on the understanding that the offer does , . not prejudice our. rights In case it is not t accepted." - - j ,ihe charge-for this laboratory serv i lea and patent rights Is to be 10 cents 1 i a square yard. There has been laid j vi and pot -under contract approximately : 2.800.000 square yards of bltullthlo pave- I mont. At 10 cents a yard the royalty t would amount to f 280,000. . ' TATE3rt3T B?I5G CHECKED It Is asserted by the Warren Bros, company that all bids accepted on bltu ' i lltblo pavement have been more than 10 ': per1' eent below the ni,Jpwest -bid. j This statement is befn checked by the'; 1 state hlRhwaj commission. 1 Th highway commission, will have to ; consider whether to refuse to pay roy I alty altogether and thus bring the mat f tep,Into the courts or seek to compromise j tha matter, i To carry a teat suit up to the court of ' last resort would, it Is es f tltna ted, cost approximately $100,000. as t a great amount of exVert.i testimony ; i woAild have to .be taken. Au the result of some investigation at . the request of the " highway commission, i Attorney Osneral Brown found that a j.sult eontmtlnir the validity of the War- '.! ren patent, ;wh(ch expires by limitaltnn i neat May, had never reached the United j States supreme court for final adjudi i ration. It has figured in a number of ' i district and appellate courts where the : decisions have been both ways. j. ATTORNEY GIVES OPINIOX I . Jn his opinion Attorney Ooneral Brown ! said : - . i ."When we . consider the authorities t cited and many others which we have . i read in our study of this subject we fall i to see where this office can do more than j call attention to a possible doubt with reference to the validity of the Warren ! patent Whatever our personal opln f Ion may or may not be, it is the func i tlon of this office to accept the law as " construed by the courts,' at least so far t aa we are authorised to advise and coun ! sel the acta and conduct of the various -officers and commissions of the state. ,flt Is the duty and purpose of this of- - flee to advise a compliance with the law as written and as Interpreted by '. the courts of this country and It would be a dangerous precedent to establish for an attorney general to advise a state ; offjeer or commission or. an Individual I lv disregard law or violate .patent i rights,, especially In the fact of a court r decision, to the contrary. CJ TqlTHE COURTS ?'As.we have stated before, the highest ; court before which this question has : been brought has held the patent valid !. and this office could not assume the re sponslbitity of presuming that a differ cut decision might be reached in a higher ; lourt, even though we might personally feel that such would be the result. 1 "Especially would it be unwise for this office on such presumption to advise the ? highway commission that the patent tield ; by the Warren 'Bros. Is of such doubt i fat validity that the commission would l- be authorised to disregard the patent i ' and appropriate and use the article cov t ered by that patent in view of the fact i '. that such advice and such ;use of the patent under the provisions of chapter 1T of the laws of 1919 and section 14 of - chapter lS of the laws of 1919 make the fctate wholly liable, for, the payment of all- royalties which might be adjudged . djue, and Ihls under the present road pro- gram could very easily amount to many CTjuasands of doltara" ' ' t ; - - NotGleniaaDelGato.
