More or less.
a QrEsTToS RAISED IN CONNECTION wITH DISTRICT
GOAL CONTRACTS.

legal question, involving the construction OF
the words "more or less" in contract, is now be-
fore the Commissioner and has arisen Indirectly
out OF the cramped condition OF the coal market.
Contractors for supplying coal TO the District have
recently declined Furnishing any more egg coal.
The contracts required them TO furnish IN each
case 30 many tons OF coal "more or lesSr They
have furnished the number OF tons OF egg coal
spectned and In some cases more. Now they claim
that they are not bound TO furnish more The con.
tracts made last summer are It price far below
that now prevailing. The Commissioners
have invited new bids Tor supplying
this coal. Meanwhile the attorney for the
District has been asked for an opinion as 10 the
construction OF the words 'more or less" IL Is
thought by oficials at the District building that
the Commissioners cannot require the CONTAGIOUS
TO furnish more coal In reports before the CON-
missioners decisions are quoted TO show that the
words mean little more or q little less, and that
the excess cannot exceed % per cent The cree.
ton OF new school buildings, IL Is stated, has
caused the discrepancy between the estimated
amount OF egg coal required and the actual
amount consumed. The contracts were based on
the estimate amount required.
