Are Alleged Against Contractors on
State bitches.
The final meeting of the year was
held yesterday by the State Drainage
commission.
The Middle river ditch Is not COM
pleted, and the commission retained %
cents a yard for the uncompleted part
from the money due the contractors,
paying over $2,31882 The contract was
let at 111a cents a yard, and, if the
commission was to complete the con-
tract, it is considered that they will
be amply protected.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Whereas, 1t having recently come to the
knowledge of this board that a large num-
Der of what are termed time checks" or
due bills" have been issued by Plaisted
Bros. contractors. who are constructing the
Nordick state ditch, for labor of men and
team work done said ditch, those receiv-
ing such checks being first obliged to sign
the pay roll before they could obtain such
promises to pay, and
Whereas It appears that said contractors
and their bondsmen refuse to honor such
time checks including those issued for the
month of October 1897, except at a large dis
count, although said contractors have been
paid in full by the state, as per contract, for
the October estimate Of work done by them
on said ditch; and
Whereas it appears that a large number
of said time checks still outstanding and
wholly unpaid by said contractors, or by any
one for them; now, therefore. be 1t
Resolved, first, That this board most en-
phatically condemns such proceedings on the
part of said contractors, a course which no
other contractors have taken Of all those who
have done state work under the supervision
of this board, and contrary to the spirit and
conditions of the contract entered into with
the said Plaisted Bros. for the construction
of said ditch.
second-That this board will not accept
from said contractors the receipted pay roll
as final because it does not represent the
true state of facts.
Third-That before any more money Is paid
to the said Plaisted Bros. On their said con-
tract, they be required to produce, for the
inspection of this board, the stubs" show
ing the history of each time check heel; SO is Is
sued by them and, also, the time checks
corresponding to such stubs all redeemed and
marked paid and duly Cancelled.
Fourth-That a committee Of this board,
consisting of E. G. Valentine and Albert
Berg be- and hereby Is, appointed to make
a thorough examination into this matter and
see that all such time checks outstanding are
dulp paid in full and Cancelled by said con-
tractors after which said committee shall
notify the secretary Of this board. who may
then, and not until then. deliver to said
contractors the vouchers for the November
estimate passed upon at this meeting, for
work done on said ditch. and shall also make
full report of this matter at the next meet-
ing of this board.
Fifth-That the secretary send to said
contractors, Plaisted Bros, and to- Joseph
Gum and Louis Gewalt, their bondsmen, a
copy of this resolution.

allowed to stand showing the policy Of the
minority 1t is said, however, that it would
be useless to force the Cuban question before
the house, as the rules would not permit the
minority to bring the question to vote. The
senate Cuban resolution, which was Endorsed
by the caucus, reposes in the committee on
foreign affairs. and there is no power under
the rules to get it from that committee.
