New York Supreme Court, 1891

Malloy v. Board of Health

New York Supreme Court · Decided July 15, 1891 · Barnard, Dticman, Pratt

67 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 422; 39 N.Y. St. Rep. 922

Counsel

G. II. c& J. A. Young, for the appellants., Arthur T. Hoffman, for the respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Barnard, P. J.:

The plaintiffs performed work under a contract with the defendant. The expense was a town charge. (Laws of 1885, chap. 270.) The Board of Health has no place as a defendant. It is a town agency only. The claim must be presented to the town auditors for audit. (Myers v. Barnes, 114 N. Y., 324; People ex rel. Board of Health, etc., v. Board of Supervisors of Monroe County, 18 Barb., 567; Bell v. Town of Esopus, 49 id., 506.)

The judgment should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

Pratt, J., concurred; Dticman, J., not sitting.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
