October 23rd, 1948
To the Town Board of the Town of

Gentlemen:
Your supervisor has asked me for an opinion as to whether your
board had authority to cause to be laid pipe in Fort Amherst Road
without advertising for bids and making a contract.

Section 197 of the Town Law, in part, provides as follows : '
' If the estimated expense of the improvement
does not exceed two thousand dollars
the board may adopt such plans and spcifi -
cations and cause said improvement to ', be made
and may enter into a contract or contracts
therefor without giving public notice '' thereof,
or may cause the same to be done by day labor
i under the direction of the town engineer or of
any other town officer i
It is my opinion that the district now owning the pipe has
authority to cause the same to be laid by day labor or for a certain
price per foot, without publishing notice to receive bids and award
a contract.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Beecher S. Clother, ';
Attorney for Water District._
