ADVERSE REPORT ON
EMMART- DUNBAR CLAIM
Auditor Petty Recommends That It Be
Net Allowed.

The District Commissioners received to-
Cay from the Auditor. Mr.. J. T Petty.
report upon House biII No 1928, which
provides for the relief Of Aiessrs. Emmart.
Dunbar & Co. and which was referred to
the District authorities for report.
It appears that the firm named, on
September q, 1871. contracted to lay
what was then known as the S6-inch
water main. After the completion Of
the contract they presented q bill Of
$50, 246-52 for extra work Gen. 0. E
Babcock, Chief Engineer OF the Washing
ton Aqueduet, referred this bill and the
papers pertaining thereto to Col T. B.
San1o, his assistant in immediate charge.
for examination and report Colonel
Samo disaIlowed 1885. and awarded
SIS-s57-I7. this amount being subsequently
appropriated for the settlement Of the
bill by the Legislative Assembly. The
amount was paid September %. 1873.
MT. Petty states that the late Dr.
Alexander Dunbar, a member Of the firm.
fled with the Board of Audit. under the
act Of June 20, 1873, claim for the dis
allowed balance CT s41.2S9.3 which was
rejected, or at least not granted. In 1883
he renewed the claim IN an appeal to the
Commissioners, urging its payment with
great persistency, in season and out Of
season, until during 1892 the matter was
referred 10 me for investi cation TO ascer-
tain and report what, If any, merit II
might possess
In conjunction with the late Daniel
DonoEan, who was civil engineer, and
had been associated with the Board Of
Public Works, / examined the records re-
I lating 20 the case and reached the con-
clusion that If the Government waived all
claims it might have against the contrac-
tors on account of violations OF their con-
tracts, technical and otherwise. and set
tied up On a purely equitable basis, they
would be entitled 10 the sum of 81. 54S. q. :"
Mr. Petty states that he submitted a
report in effect as above stated on June
II. 1892, and that on January g. 1897, an
appropriation for the settlement OF the
claim was made by Congress. The Auditor
declares that there was al that time nc
mention made OF interest. and he ex-
presses the belief that there is now no
ground for supposing that it was con-
templated. He believes that the amount
named was rendered and accepted as the
full payment OF the claim. In closing his
report, Mr. Petty says:
Believing as I do that every require
ment Of equity and justice was met in the
act Of January 9. 1897, I have the honor TO
recommend that the bill be returned to
The Committee on Claims OF the House
Of Representatives with the request that
il be not allowed to become law
