the gentlemen designated met for tho pur-
pose Of discussing the situation. @. Derby
was called to the chair, and opened the
hn.ine.. by saving: "I do not know
vhAt this meeting IL called for. but per-
hap, there are some gentlemen here who
can explain -
Here the chairman Was Interrupted BY
Commissioner Torp whispering In his ear.
He continued /: nBut ct any rate We do

murring. The newspaper reporters en-
teredA mild profession behalf Of the public.
but submitted with grace. Mr.. Burke
assured them that IL Was not his wish TO
have them excluded. and that he WAS not
ashamed TO have his whole claim under
stood by the public.
After the withdrawal Of the spectators .
lengthy discussion Was entsred into BE-
tween the Commissioners aud tho Arbitra-
tors. The Arbitrator were asked 10 give
their reasons for signing the COM
munication which had brought about the
meeting. One said he had done so because
another did. and 81 on. but nearly all
Joined in saying that they thought Burke
had not received enough money for the
Job. and that the county ought to pay
him all that twas really worth. One men,
Der OF Board Of County Commissioners
said Ne was not willing to do anything
toward granting Mr.. Burke any more
money on the Courthouse contract until
the work OF putting up the retaining walls
back Of the Courthouse was finished. He
thought trouble was likely 10 ensus In the
same manner upon the second contract II
some such precaution was not observed:
''Let Mr.. Burke finish his present Job and
turn il over To the County Commissioners"
said he, and then Va will BE- In . better
position to talk with him about the Court
house matter"
This advice finally prevailed. and after
q meeting lasting an hour and q hall the
meeting adjourned. When the present
contract Is finished. the courthouse ques-
ton will be again opened, and MT. Burke
will be awarded whatever may DO Justly
due him. This, the Arbitrators claim,
they we're unable TO do before. on account
u the ~interposition Of technicalities.
