Mr.. Cattell objected to paying this bill
because is was contrary to law, as the work
was not done according TO CONTRACTS. Mr..
Cattell charged that the committee bad
made an illegal contract, because it exceed
ed $500 and bids were not invited. His
was that the committee was
beating around the bush in paying for
separate items, paving separate from curb
and gutter. yet it was all done under one
contract
Mr.. Munyan said the contracts were SO
much per yard for cabbling and so much
for concrete curb and gutter, They were
separate, and neither would exceed the
$500. Mr. Cattell asked who had the con-
tract, that would settle the question. It was
brought ous that the Solicitor hau the con-
tract. The vote was then taken on the
payment of the bill, and ii was ordered
