The three Superior judges sitting as
Court of Claims in Room 1 yesterday
heard argument on demurrer in the
suit Of William B. Howard, the
contractor who completed the State
house. Howard is suing to recover
$4,000 which he claims is due him for extra
work. Attorney General Ketcham pointed
out in his argument that the amount ex-
pended on the Statehouse was within $22,-
900 of the limit allowed by the law under
which the structure was built. The stat
ute was part of the contract. 1t was the
claim of the State that the Legislature. in
1889, allowed Howard $685. 900 for extras. The
State took it that this should settle the
claim. In any event it was a question for
the Legislature to determine, and not the
court. A. c. Harris brought the suit for
Howard.
