FORT SMELLING BRIDGE.
Protecting the Contractors From Each

The bridge commission met yesterday morn
ing. Present, Dawson, Lindeke: Knaphide
and Cochran. Mr.. Cochran stated that he had
proposed amendment to the law of 1876 and
they promised to secure its legislative enact
ment.
Mr.. J. J. Egan, attorney for Breen & Young,
granite contractors, urged upon the commission
to take some action whereby they and other
sub-contractors might be secured in the pay
ment of amounts due them by Mcintyre & Steel.
He suggested the propriety of the commission
passing resolution to retain at l. asst Is per
cent. of the estimates made to the principal
contractors for the purpose of securing pay
ment for actual work. In this connection Mr..
Egan stated that Mcintyre & Steel had fur
nished no bond, and Michael O'Brien's bond
worthless. There was nothing to secure
the workers and furnishers of material unless
the board, in justice to repair this oversight:
made some arrangement to provide fair dealing
between the contractor and sub-contractor.
President Dawson stated that the claim at
issue disputed, and its proper reference
was to the courts. Furthermore, the boards
decision heretofore had been not to treat di.
rectly with sub-contractors, and this the
general understanding when Mcintyre d Steel
were substituted for the former contractor.
Mr.. Egan coutended 1t was not SO much the
money due or the claim now due TO his clients
ne was asking tor, as TO secure money which
might become due in the future.
Mr.. Cochran thought that business principles
demanded that the sub-contractors should pro
tect themselves. He was at loss to see how
the board could interfere.
MIR. Breen also made statement of his case
He thought all the contractors looked to til,
board; they were deemed responsible, ane
really it looked as if their contractor should b,
made responsible. As at present Messrs. Nc
Intyre & Steel had furnished no bonds.
Mr.. Cochran-But it will be required of them
| They are to furnish bonds to the amount O
$40 900, and good ones, too.
| Presi lent Dawson anticipated no difficulty il
| the payment between the contractors and sub
contractors. All claims, except disputed ones
would be paid, and as to the latter, the boar,
could not interfere. The remedy was in tn
courts.
| Mr.. Breen again explained that he wante,
enough retained from the estimates 10 be fur
nished the contractors, to secure him on hi
final or completed work.
Mr.. Cochran favored the view that no esti
mate should be given Mcintyre & Steel unit
they satisfied the board that all claims againa
them had been paid-e1cepting, of course, dis
puted claims.
This was agreed to, and thereupon the con
mission adjourned.

The Late Council in Kennah,,n,

~A-0 @1sVO -SOuuC4l LII A0un0Duuk.
The following appeared in the Boston Jour-
nal of last evening:
10 the Editors of the Boston Journal:
The item in your Saturdays issue with refer
ence to my installation over the Congregation
al church in Kennebunk may convey an i'm
preston which the facts in the case will hardly
warrant.
Allow me to say that in view of the suspense
OF the pastor-elect upon the matter of future
punishment between an eternity of con-
scious misery and the ultimate extinction of
the incorrigibly wicked, the Council did ad-
wise that the installation be deferred. When
asked if they would advise the church to en-
gage the candidate to remain as acting pastor,
they said they had no advice to give upon the
matter. And when asked again If it would be
looked upon as a lack of Difference to the adj
vice of the Council should the church engage
his services as acting pastor, the answer was
given that they expected the church would do
so. This, we understand, was the scope OF the
Councils advice.
The undersigned is of the opinion that Con-
gregationalism did not voice itself in the decis-
ion of the late Council. Of ministers (who give
character to o counciD there were only fUe
present. One of these did not vote, and an
other expressed his willingness to exchange
pulpits with the pastor-elect did he think the
church in Kennebunk would wish to hear him.
The council was called without reference to
the possibility of theological issue being
falSed just enough ministers, and those near
est the Kennebunk church, were invited to
take the installation parts. So that neither in
the ability of the pastor-elect nor with all
respect to my brethren of the counciD in the
dignity of the council, nor in the representa-
tive character of its makeup, was the late
council "an Indian Orchard case over again."
1t is yet to be decided whether Maine Con-
gregationalism will tolerate minister in sus-
pense between the view of an endless conscious
misery and that of an ultimate extinction of
the incorrigibly wicked, whose able deponent
Rev. DR.. Wilton of Newark, the Congrega-
tiondtist thinks might well be put upon COM
mittee to prepare catechism for our Congrega-
tional churches
Respectfully yours.
