Negligence of Officers No Grounds
for Action Against Washington.
Olynipia, Wash. A survival of the
theory that "the king can do no
rong," has placed the state in the
peculiar position of admitting negli
gence in highway construction and
escaping liability, according to an
opinion issued to James Allen, high
way engineer, by John II. Dunbar, attorney-general.
The modern rule of law is that the
state cannot be sued for tort, and U
not liable for negligence on the part
of its officers or agenda, Mr. Dunbar
pointed out.
The question was brought up by Mr.
Allen after the Spokane, Portland &

ed a bill for damages resulting when
