COmpietin. school Plumbing.

Col John Bidjle the Engineer Com
missioner, has forwarded the papers in
the case CT Messrs. Chaney and Hart, for
Nolan & Sons, relative to a waiver of
penalty on account of failure 10 COM
plete the plumbing work in certain
school buildings within the time of the
contract.
Colonel Biddle says that he has person.
ally gone over the statement of the at
torneys and that he can see no reason for
referring the matter to the Comptroller
of the Treasury. Colonel Biddle takes the
ground that there il no foundation for
the claim that the contractors lost
eighty-fve and nc-half days by hind
RANGES cf the District. He says Inat the
extra work required could easily have
been done within the time specified. He
says tEat if the contractors had wanted
extra time they would naturally have
made application fer it before the ex-
piration of the contract.
Colonel Biddle says that it is evident
that the delay was caused by the nom
arrival OF the plumbing material, and
rot to any action of the District.
