Rep. Brown presents majority report.
signed by Brown, Isenberg and Minister
of the Interior, for Committee appointed
TO consider petition OF l.. Ahlo for
5000 for building reservoir. The COM
mittee find that in 1889 bids were called
for to build a government reservoir at
Luakaha, the highest bid was about
sl7, 900, the lowest about s. 900, being
that OF two Cinnamon. The lowest bid
was accepted, and l.. Ahlo became bonds
man for the contractors. The latter
found that there was more excavating
than they had estimated They wished
to be relieved from their contract, but
this was denied and one of them alb
seconded to China. The weather was
very bad. l.. Ahlo, as bondsman, COM
pleted the work, and his petition is for
the excess of its cost in labor above the
contract price which has been paid. The
committee find that the work has been
we'll done, to the satisfaction of the Gov
eminent and to the loss OF petitioner;
but they think that this is his misfortune
in having entered into the affair of his
own accord. They find that it would es-
tablish dangerous precedent to grant a
petition of this kind, and would have a
bad effect on persons making bids for
Government work; they, therefore, re-
commend that the prayer of the petit
| toner be denied.
The report was laid on the ia BILE to be
considered with the minority report.
