Wilson, In respect to the masonry in
the South abutment, which report is
as follows, viz:
"My opinion has been asked as to
the specification and contract for the
masonry and the quality of the work
being done by the masonry contractor.
The contract and specifications are,
in many respects indefinite, but on the
whole call Tor good work.
The foundations are to be con-
structed as, in the opioion of the En-
gineer, may be necessary to secure a
solid bearing.
The masonry of the wing walls of
the abutments is to be sd class ma.
sonry, that is, rubble work otherwise
the masonry is to be rock range work,
the "face stones to be accurately
jointed and bedded, and laid in reg
ular horizontal courses"
"The stones for the heart of the wall
will be the same thickness as the face
and back, we'll bedded but not jointed,
but must be we'll fitted in their places. :"
This means dressed stone in regular
courses throughout, except in the wing
walls.
My inspection of the only pieces of
masonry laid up, in the South Adult
ment shows fair quality of rubble
work in the wing walls, so far as ex,
ternal examination can determine.
Just how the work may be bonded in
the interior OF the wall, could be OBJ
tanned only by observation during the
progress of the work.
The main wall however consist of
range work on the face with rubble
backing, and is thus clear ly not in ac-

it, as against all other claimants, and
it is evident that stone dressed in a
quarry perhaps 50 miles or more from
the site of the bridge, cannot be in
the physical possession of the owner
of the bridge and consequently is not
in proper shape to be included in an
estimate, and cannot safely pc paid
for
In the particular case now under
consideration, whoever prepared the
contract for the masonry omitted to
mention "materials delivered" as an
item in making estimates.
The contract with Mr.. Hendler dis
tinctly recites prices for work in
place completed.
My opinion of a contract of this
kind Is, that the contract is the law
which governs the Engineer, that he
derives all his authority from the con.
tract and can not go beyond 10, and
that the County Commissioners should
not make payments except in accord
anCe WITH the contract.
Therefore, | am of the opinion that
IN this case, no payments can be made
to Mr.. Hendler except for completed
and accepted work IN place, and that
materials delivered at the site of the
bridge, or stone cut in the quarry ready
for shipment, &c. &C., should not be
estimated"

shall not pay the order issued by the
late Commissioners on the last day ol

order is based upon estimate No. l
