LEARy'S CONTRACT.
He Offers to Build the Speedway's
First Section for $629,9l6.
1t Is $3.50, 900 Below the Estimate
Of the Engineer.
The Legality of the Letting Yet TO
BE Settled.

James u. Leary Is the successful bidder
for the construction of the first section
of the Harlem Speedway. His bid Is
S629.9l6. which is about $4,000 below the
engineers estimate. and $4,000 lower
than the next lowest bidder, j. c.
Rodgers & G o
The highest hid was that Of Clinton
Stevens. S907. s7i.
Isaac a.. Hopper. who yesterday asked
leave to withdraw his bid, was $40, OOt
higher than Lcary. and he would have
lost the bet of 1000 Commissioner Straus
offered to make with him that his bid
was $4,000 wide of the mark.
The Park Board met this morning to
award the contracts, but deferred action
until the Comptroller approved Leary's
sureties. who are John Good and John
G. Moore.
MT. Dana repeated his protest against
the single-payment clause in the con.
tract. He had evidence. he said, thai
at least one contractor was shut on,
from the competition because of tina,
provision.
Mr.. Lcary said the same clause was In
all city and Government contracts, and
there was even a s~tricter provision re.
garding payments In private contracts
He had lone $50, 900, 900 worth Of work
for the city, and every contract contained
that clause. He did 1900, 900 worth OF
work for the Astors, and only received
% per cent. OF the contract price SIN
months after the work was completed
and monthly payments at the option o.
the Astors' engineer.
President Happen has written n letteI
to Comptroller Fitch. asking him II Their,
was an appropriation to begin work OF
the Speedway. This is calculated t,
bring a reply from Mr.. Fitch. dennin,
his position in the Speedway matter
and as to whether he considers the bid,
legal and will Issue the bonds for tn,
work.
Mr.. Happen said the plans can b,
changed to permit the construction o
two sidewalks IL the Sheffield bill Il
passed.
1t is the opinion OF lawyers that tn,
whole proceeding is illegal, because tn,
bids were not opened at the ADVERTISED
time.
