GIVE TT Up.
Contract for Wallach school Building
Abandoned.

The District is in trouble again over the
completion Of a contract for the erection
of public school. This is not the first
tlme the District has been in trouble over
such matters, nor Is it the first time they
nave had trouble with the completion of
the Wallach school. Some months ago the
contract was taken away from w. w.
Winfree, the contractor, and his bondsmen,
Messrs. George c. Esher and J. H. kengla,
directed to complete the work. This they
wiliirgly did, and for some time the work
Pre- sressed swimmingly. 1t is stated, how
ever. that the Commissioners required
more CT the bondsmen than they did of
the contractor. and several protests have
been made by the bondsmen, it is said.
against what they term unnecessary re-
stilctloDs. This morning they threw up
the contract, declaring they would not COM
piete the building. This they did through
their attorneys, Messrs. Malcolm Hufty
ana ID. w. Baker, in the following letter:
"On account of the many breaches on
the part of thu District of Columbia of the
contract between it and w. w. Winfree for
the addition TO and reconstruction of Wal
ZACH school, as well as on account of the
position assumed by the District with re-
spect to the bondsmen, George c. Esher
ana j. ii. Kengla, have been prejudiced,
we beg to advise you in behalf of the said
bondsmen that they refuse to further pro-
coed in finishing the contract Of the said
Winfree."
Building Inspector Brady told a reporter
of The Star this morning that he had no
know ledge of the action on the part of the
bondsmen until the receipt of the letter
this morning. He was surprised at their
action. There was only one thing left to
do, and that was have the building COM
pieted by the District and look to the
boncsmen for reimbursement.
