In 1865 the State Legislature passed what
is generally known as the Battery Extension
bill. The contract for carrying out the pro-
visions Of the bill was given to MIR. S. M. Drew.
In course Of time Mr. Drew transferred the con-
tract to Mr.. David Babcock. According to the
conditions Of the contract thirty per cent Of the
money was to be paid after a certain amount Of
the work had been done. There was some
hitch in getting this preliminary percent
age. The whole thing savOred so strongly
OF "a job" that It would not readily
pass muster. or something was to pay, thong h
OF the assignee OF the contract Insisted that
his claim was perfectly fair and legitimate. The
