SIR BY endorsement on the letter of G. z.
Evans presents substantially the same ouesttoa
that is presented In the papers OF Sam u NtnpnS.
| and the ouinion furnished I'M that II snnIicsb3S
| to the claim Of Mr.. Evans, As stated in thst
ouiniop. the organic act does not prohibik tho
Board Of Public Works from modifyine con
tracts or incrsasing prices for work done, AID
whether In any case there should Be . modt1-
cation Is . question solely for tho judicioue
determination Of the board. Mr.. Cluss recon-
mends an increase of 8 per centum ON his work.
I think that manner Of increase Is not the
most judicious, and I respectfully Suggest
that Il will be much wiser to increase the
Prices for such portions of tina work % The
board may deem just 90 as to amount 70 .
fair compensation to Mr.. Evans, rather than
add per centum, As Is proposed. And the mod
ihcafion requisite for their purposes can b
made By memorandum. ON his contract, dgned
oy the board md MI; Evans. In this mode the
recommendation Of Mr.. Cluss can be carried
out 90 as TO DO Justice to all parties. Allow mo
to add that n would certainly be better to
l make modihcations OF contracts as the work
\ under them progresses, but sometimes Il may
be difficult to do 90. Respectfully,
| .gaE a re: BOARD or Public WORKS.,
| DIsrslcr or CoLuMRA.
