DRAINAGE BOARD INVITES GRILL

After costly ana often incXpllcablc

rapidly as conditions will permit with

only two of the trustees opposed this
decision, and they advanced good rca'
sons for their position. Messrs. Wen

greatest duty of the board was the Pc
mOynl Of the center-pler bridges. They
point out that dredging. before this il

Judge KohiSaat in the United States
Circuit Court has decided that the
claim of James Davidson of Bay City
against the sanitary district for ~.
building the steamer Juliet must he
paid. The claim amounts to over S6,-
OOO, and has been fought In the court
tor Il long time. Davidson rebuilt the
steamer several years ago and the trus-
tees of the sanitary district opposed
the bill he presented as being TOO large.
In court Il was held that the trustees
had no authority to have such work
done without first advertising for bids,
but the court ruled that inasmuch as
there had been no contract. ana that
the. trustees could have stopped the
work ut any time, that each days work
WAS separate job ana that the bill
must be paid. The Juliet Is said TO
have been the special delight of Presi-
dent Jones.
