several thousand dollars. The Con-
struction Company finally withdrew
| charges amounting to some $500. BY
mutual consent the Railroad Company
held the $4,000 balance due on the
contract, and the bill for extras and
the counter claim of the Railroad were
submitted for arbitration to w. e.

sion last week, allowing the Railroad
Company S179 on the counter claim and
approving of extras in favor of the
contractor to the amount of $2257.
