THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT CONTRACTS.
The District Commissioners will have to take
steps very soon to determine what course they
will pursue in relation to the failure of Messrs.
Fletcher Bailey, contractors for laying large
quantity OF asphatum pavement in the District.
to perform their contracts 1t will be recollected
that the Commissioners have given them until
the 31st instant in which to reply to their nOtif-
cation. Mr.. Fletcher has already announced to the
Commissioners his inability to procure asphalt,
and throws himself upon the mercy Of the Com
missioners. Nothing will be done by the Com
missioners until Mr. Bailey is heard from, and in
the meantime nothing can be done. The Com
missioners will call upon the bOndsmen to do the
work for the contractors, and in this case Mr..
Fletcher is himself bondsman for his son. But
as no asphalt can be procured except at exor-
