WANTS To CANCEL
BIC CONTRACT

President Duffey Of the Board Of
Public Works declared yesterday that
IL the Burrel1 Construction Company
does not finish the work of building a
sewer in Market street. from East to
Second, by January next. as specified
in it's contract. he will take steps to
cancel the contract and finish the work
with city laborers-
At the last meeting of the board Bur-
ren asked the board for an extension
on the ground that he was unable to
procure necessary piles and sewer
pipe Duffey expressed himself very
forcibly against the granting of the
extension. and the matter was referred
to the City Engineer for a report. 1t
appears to be physical impossibflity
for the work to be done in the next
two weeks.
Duffey says that Burrell can procure
all the piles and sewer pipe he needs.
and the former Is very much incensed
at Burrell because he has not done any
work on his contract for nearly two
weeks Duffey says:
This delay is causing the loss of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to mer-
chants and business men who are un-
able TO enjoy free use of Market street.
the main artery of the city II BurreIl
does not complete the work on contract
forfeited and notify the surety COM
pany on Burrelrs bond TO pay $4,000
TO make good the obligation. The
work must proceed on Market street.
and IL Burrel1 cannot do 1t the CITY
will on its own account.
