AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
An Intricate Question Concerning
the Liability of a Contractor

The Comptroller of the Treasury
Called on for an Opinion Concern
ing Damages TO Public work CaUs-
ed by Landsiide-Other Matters.
c. B Hunt the Computing Engineer
has submitted to the Commissioners O
statement in regard to certain masonry
work constructed under 4 contract with
a y Brady on Pennsylvania and Branch
Avenue. After stating that the masonry
was swept away by a landslide AIT- Hunt
asks instructions as TO the course to be
pursued in retaining the 10 per cent guar
antee on the contract. In his letter to the
Engineer Commissioner, Mr.. Hunt says:
In connection with the expiration Of
the guarantee period OF contract 1897,
with a y Brady for work on PennsyI
vapia Avenue and Branch Avenue, an eX-
animation made for the purpose of re
turning the 10 per cent guarantee fund
discl0ses the fact that the public work
covered thereby is in an acceptable con-
dirion. with the provisional statement
that certain masonry work constituting
the extension of a CulveTt. which was in
clUded in the work under the contract IS
inaccessible for examination and IS
known to have been practically carried
aw=y by a landslide which occurred
shortly after its completion. and which
was due to geographical and Topographic
CT circumstances.
The masonry work referred to at the
date of this occurrence was in excellent
condition and would have been accepted
at that time, and under every reasonable
expectation would have continued so un-
til this date, as other masonry built under
similar circumstances in the same locali-
ty but not exposed to the landslide des-
cribed is no,y in an entirely acceptable
condition.
1t appears to this office that the cir
cun1stances related do not constitute a
contingency under which any portion OF
this retain fund can be withheld. and in
structions are requested as to the course
to be pursued
In forwarding the report Capt H C
Newcomer, who has charge Of the surface
division, submits the following statement:
The specifications for the work under
this contract contained the provision of
The organic act providing a permanent
form OF government for the District of
Columbia requiring that
" Contractors shall keep new pavements
OF other new work in repair for d period
/ Of FIVE years from the date Of the compile
tioR Of their contracts
In this instance the masonry work OF
the culvert constructed by the contractor
{ has been practically destroyed by natural
/ forces beyond the control Of either party
/ TO the contract and the question arises as
J TO whether the above provision of the con-
tract would require the reconstruction OF
this cUlvcTt by the contractor, or in de
fault of his doing the work the aDplICa-
ton OF Jhe amount retained TO the eStCu-
( tion Of the work. 1t is recommended that
this matter he submitted to the Comp
tToller of the Treasury for decision"
The matter was referred to the Auditor
/ and he has cuncurTed in the recommenGa-
ton Of Captain Newcomer, and the Com
3 nGissloners have ordered that the letter OF
8 Mr. Hunt be referred to the Comptroller
! OF The ILeasuTE for decision.
