involving devils and a witch doctor was the basis of an opinion handed down Friday by the state supreme court In effect the court held that a Mrs Mary Gentile was not legally responsible for $400 claimed to have been paid the “doctor” for the “benefit" of her son It appears that the son was paralyzed and could not walk A friend of Mrs Gentile one Domenico Greco brought to her house a “magic doctor" who claimed that he could cure her son All she had to do was give the “doctor” $13 and with this he would exorcise the devils from the sick boy’s body He was to take the money to a certain crossroads on a certain midnight where the devils would appear to take the money Mrs Gentile said she didn't have much faith in magic but ehe was willing to give it a try So she paid the “doctor” the $13 Two weeks later according to the story as it reached the supreme court Greco told Mrs Gentilq the “doctor” would have to have more money $400 in fact before the eon could be cured The woman said she didn’t have the money Greco said he had the money and was willing to give it to the “doctor” because he had faith in him She then told Greco to go ahead and give the "doctor” the money if he wanted to but that ehe would not be responsible Whether Greco gave the “doctor” the money or not Mrs Gentile was unable to say At any rate Greco later brought suit against her in the district court for $400 claiming the money was a loan to her and ehe had not repaid it The case was tried and a verdict was returned in favor of Mrs Gentile Shortly afterward an appeal was taken to the supreme to Sponsor Water Board Move Commissioner George D Keyser was called upon Friday by William F Langton chairman of the Property Owners’ Investigation committee to sponsor a resolution turning over full supervision of the city water department to the Metropoli- tan Water district board of Sait Lake City thereby making the board the agent of the elective commission in all water affairs Mr Langton’s statement was prompted by an opinion issued Thursday by Fisher Harris city attorney The opinion held in effect that the water board could administer the city’s water affairs so long as all its actions are approved and adopted by the city commission as its own Held Confirmation "Mr Harris” the statement said "has confirmed completely what this committee has contended and coincides exactly with the views of our own counsel viz that the city commission may name the Metropolitan Water board as its agent to conduct all investigations and set up machinery for the complete exploitation of all water problems and reach its own independent decisions but that all this action must be confirmed and ratified by the city -- commission “At no time has it been our opinion that an appointive body has the authority to place obligations upon the people that this is the prerogative of elective officers and that is why the city commission as a whole and not merely the water commissioner should pass judgment upon the acts of the water board" Hope Expressed “It is hoped now that the opinion has been handeddown by City Attorney Harris Mr Keyser will urge that delegation of authority be authorized Then Mr Keyser may present such views as he may have on the subject to the water board and let them decide the merits of his opinion as well as the views of others who may be consulted “We believe the quicker this action can be taken the greater will be the assurance that a sound policy will be determined and an early approach made to the solution of our water difficulties We believe the citizens of the community will feel greatly relieved if the ruling handed down by Mr Harris can be made immediately operative It seehis now up to Mr Keyser to demonstrate his faith in the personnel of the new board by sponsoring a resolution to effect the delegation of tbe authority and power to this new board to function and act in the name of the city commission in control of the entire water system” Ben
