Opinion
delivered the opinion of the court:
Defendant demurred to the declaration, and insists that the District is not bound on such a pretended contract as that sued upon.
We have come to the conclusion that, upon the authority and statutes cited by counsel for defendant, the board of health could not bind the District upon such a transaction.
The demurrer is therefore sustained.
