DIFFER ON SEVERAL POINTS.
From the statement made by City Engi-
neer Cutshaw yesterday it seems that lie
and the contractors differ on seVerai
points ard are unable to reconcile their
differences; hence the hearing before the
committee the contractors having come
here to present their side OF the case.
Colonel CMtshaw claims that the COM.
pany is under contract TO put in bake
oven. and that they are not putting IN
adequate heating arrangements as called
for by the contract. He says the steam
pipes are too small; the contractors say
not. Colonel Cutshaw states further that
the company has never submitted all the
specifications for his examination as re-
quired. The company is willing to put
in certain apparatus as extras which the
representative of the city thinks are de-.
ma7aded by contract
AS TO HIS WHINlS.
In speaking OF the differences and OF
the correspondence with the Stewart
firm. Colonel Cutshaw incidentally
referred to the statement in one
letter that he had '.whims That
however. he said. had nothing to do with
the question at issue, but was a personal
matter. which could be settled in a per-
soual way in five minutes. He said it
like he meant what he said to be con-
strued as any one chose to construe it,
and there was a smile on the facts OF
several of the committeeman at the ex-
preston
Mr.. Woelfel. representing the company.
appeared before the COMMITTEES and de-
l1landed d hearing. He claimed that he
and his associates We're here at great
expense on the assurance of the commit
tee that they could be heard yesterday
He insisted that they could not afford
to await the convenience of the COM
nittee. In fact. the superintendent was
rather emphatic and peremptory in his
speech.
Finally. after prolonged discussion, it
was decided to hold q meeting OF the
committee this morning, when both sides
OF the case will be heard.
