Objection was made by Mr.. Evans to
bill for paper, amounting to s131.25,
! on the grounds that the supply COM
| mtttee had purchased it from a dealer
other than the contractor and had paid
S45 more than the contract price. Mr..
| Casey, chairman of the committee, ex-
| plained that the contractor was unable
to furnish the paper and the committee
was compelled to get it elsewhere and
| pay the price demanded. Mr.. Evans
was not satisfied with this statement
| in view of the fact that the contractor
| L. E. Price, is the one who made the
complaint to him. Mr.. Casey moved to
| lay the bill over for investigation and
