was the day upon which the bids were TO
be opened and the court wanted the archi-

bids were opened. The contractor strenu-
ously objected that it was not customary
for tho architects to give bond IN such
cases. except when they are also the con-
tractors. and II they were required to give
such a bona TO guarantee that the cost of
the building should not exceed stated
amount they should have the letting Of the
contract aud enjoy the profit If they could
get The work done for less 1t was finally
decided by the court that Clayton & Co.
should give bond in the sum of $4,000 that
the cost OF the building should not exceed
the estimate made when the plans We're
accepted and if the bids presented are all
in excess OF that sum the contract shall be
awarded to Messrs. Clayton a Co.
