former fireman , in the sum of 30.00 , which was referred
to the City Attorney for investigation as to the City' s •
. liability , The City Attorney , filed the following opinion
to-wit : - Richmond , Indiana , September 18th , 1917 .
To the Board of Public W or ks : -
According to this bill, the services were rendered on
April 4th of this year . No bill has heretofore been render-
ed the City , which paid the fireman wages for three months , •
or until he recovered, if he recovered pri or to such time .
The City in operating its fire department , acts in a •
• go ve rnmental capacity and. in my opinion is not liable under
the present vorkmens Compensation Act . I therefore do not
believe there is any legal liability upon the part of the
City to pay th.i s bill. It should be pa i d by Mr . Man ni ng ,
who has- te(ce-ived his wages from the City durir.g the time of
this injury . -
