What Contractors Saw,

49, CHICAGo, February, 1874.
To The Editor Of the Ereniqg Star, Wdshinoton
ID. c.:
Dear Strive have recently noticed in the
Chicago Tribune from their Washington CORES
pondence statements that all the contracts LET
by the Board of Public Works Of your city have
been so let as to pay the contractors one hun
cred and nifty per centum. Now, sir, we do not
know how liberal the board has been with o,ner
contractors, as we attend to our own business
only, but we arequite sure that all the com pe-
ntion that could be had, from both New York
and Boston, was brought to figure against ms
and that our contract with the board has netted
us smaller margin than the majority of onr
work Of the same class has ever done, either in
chicago or any other city. We devoted to the
fulhllment OF our contract twenty thousand
dollars In stock and machinery, our constant
personal presence, with from thirty to one hum
dred men for twelve months. When we receive
the full payment for our work, our net profit,
Will not exceed fifteen thousand do,larsLone-
third OF this amount will be sacrificed bv turn
ing the machinery and stock nov In your CITY
INTO money. We doubt very much if any one of
those gentlemen who claim that the district
mas been swindled by contractors would give
ibelr services one month, icithout anu cdpital in
rested, for the profits Of our whole years work.
Ii the District has been swindled as As been
frequently charged, by the libeT ality eff the
board towards friends in awarding contracts ar
any such rates, we have certainly failed To he
counted in as among friends, to the very moIe,t
little sum of one hundred and twenty five per
cent. on all bur contracts Respectfully yours
