CRY CONTRACTS.


! The city has times almost without number ex-
| perienced annoyance, aud frequently great in
convenience, from the failure Of contractors to
perform what WAS stipulated In their contracts,
and one Of the sources Of annoyance has been
| the unpaid employees Of the failing contractor.
These poor men, who have perhaps worked
weeks, and even months, for 4 man Who i5 doing
some work for The city, are constantly running
to the city officials to sec II some way cannot be
| devised to- make the contractors d1Sgorse what
| has been paid them by the municipality. For In
stance: A gets contract to build conduit for
100000. lie flies bonds and commences the
work: which continues perhaps mouth, per
T. hars six weeks. The amount OF work then
done Is appraised and an ''cstiinate - issued hF
the city. 4 sells the estimate at q small sacri-
flee, pockets the money, abandons the contract,
aud let's his hired hoEIs even though they are
starving and their families starving with thctn,
seek redress rs best they can. Of course they
go TO the city officials, but those magnatcs are
powcriess. -
What is now advanced as cure for such
shameful rascaiity IS the making OF the contract
so binding that. the contractor siiall be obliged
60 pay MS men nn IN case ne ,s ~. 10
hired men upon the boEdsmen. The Mayor re-
ferred to the measure very 1orcibly yesterday.
and said that it had been u good deal agitateti
not cnly IN his Own mind, but In the minds Of
otESio " III uAfG All 2t11plt E1pEIlcn4.t Ill inu-
nicipal business and general contracting. His
Honor was in doubt as to whether the statutes
did not forbid the making of such contracts, but
Mr. Francis Adams, whom reporter question:
ed shortly afterwards, sa1d that There was noth-
ing to prevent such contracts pro-
vi1ed persons could he found willing
to SO bind themselves. Tie sng-
gested IS remedy that contracts be not let 10
any one who was 50 irresponsible as to refuse
and neglect to pay his employees. The Mayor.
as head, tail, and body Of the Departments Ct
Public Works, will, Of course have great deal
OF tontract-letting to DO in the short time left
OF his present term, and he stoutly AYERS that
he shall let no contracts to any person who has
failed in the performance of contracts with the
city Or who has, by the means above set forth,
sW1ndled bis underliugs out OF their hire, for

A few days ago TIE TRIBUNE took
| occasion to show up the actual condition
! OF the State Penitentiary, and how the
present Board Of Commissioners have
managed the institution. There was
nothing stated in these dispatches but what
facts and figures have fully proven. The stone
contract has been especially criticised, and also
the way in which contractors have received the
bounty Of the State without paying therefor.
In fact, the Penitentiary seems to have been
run.as an institution Of charity for the benefit
Of hartl-up contractors. Richardson was allowed
to run behind S4l .oCo, against the law atki Con-
stitutioll, and then given new contract Ut re-
dnction Of nearly one-half. His contract was for
70 eonvicts, who we're given up On the lst Of
January to one Martin Madden, the foreman Of
Edwin Walker, Of Leuont. Walker is the con-
tractor for the Courthouse, He indorses the
bond Of Martin Madden, along with man
named n. H. Brown, who is said to lack sufficient
responsibility. The labor bill tor Walkcr', con-
victs came due on the 18th OF February for the
month Of january, but up to this date he has
not torked over. Tie Ge5t ior January labor
amounts to s., 259.55, which lie should have paid
last week.
IN IN addition, Walker bought Billy Richard
which he gaTe his note for 81. .327.225, making
in oil $17 7,5O8.m which he owes to the State.
VIII the present Board Of Commissioners bc
able to collect this sum: It extremely doubt
fu1: But it ia more than probable inst Walker
will be allowed 10 run further in debt, anl
by and BY compromise will be effected. He now
pnys but 50cents day per convict, but lie will
then get them: after Compromising. for about
25 or 30 cents. It wonld seem that a reform
WIS needed In the management, else it will not
be long ere the institution is bankrupt. War
den NcClaughry is not to blame. He is power
less in the premises, and the whole fault IL in
the incompctency OF the present Board Of Com
