CONTRACTOR
 QUITS WORK R. (. Storrie Will Sue City of Pensacola. ASKS FOR s25,oOO DAMAGES Declines to Complete the Sewerage
 System. was To Have Been Paid sal7.ooo If Plant We. Finished snd
 Operating in sas
 Days.

Pensacola. Fla, March zl-. Especially --After finishing about one-fourth of the sewerage work. which he had con- trscted to complete for the sum of s2l7.0Oo. Robert c. storrfe. the ccntrac- tor today ordered his forces of men to cease making further excavations and to fill up those excavations in various portions of the city as he. did not in- tend to work further upon the contract
 At the same time, he brought suit in the UniteS States Court for dam- ages amounting to ss5.0oD. and also for all moneys that are due him on the contract and for extra work done
 The ract that such move had been made by the contractor came as sur- prise to the citizens, who were under the impression that matters were nov ing along smoothly so far as the sew craze work was concerned, except that the Board of Bond Trustees. having charge of the work, had made com plaint on account of the slow progress In the down town district. 1t was the desire to have what is known as the wet district of the city severed before the summer season, and allow the con- tractor to work in the dry sections later. and with this end In view he was ordered to center all of his forces in the first named district some weeks since.
 Tn the bill of complaint filed in court, the contractor makes numerous charges against the Board of Bond Trustees, and the consulting and resi- dent engineers He alleges that they have formed a conspiracy 10 defraud and prevent him from carrying out the terms of ms contract. The removal of his forces from one section of the city to another, and the refusal of the en- gineer to give him the grades In other sections that he might also carry on the work there, are cited as some of the reasons why the city has broken it's contract. He states that he was pursu- ing the work with all possible haste. working forces in both wet and dry districts. and in this manner was making good progress; that those men working in the dry districts were un- skiiIef and cheap labor, and those in the wet districts necessarily had to be skilled and high priced men, as 1t re- auired experience of years to place sewer pipes under such conditions, and that when the order came to cease work in the dry districts he was com pelled to dismiss these forces, which he had assembled at much expense, as the men could not be used elsewhere. By this order he was thrown far be- hind with his work. as he was not ale lowed to employ men to work eise- where than in the wet districts, and such was hard to procure.
 He also recites that when the order come to cease work in the dry districts that he had many trenches and exeav- ations made. and material placed, all along the line, and that he was com pelied to i'll the excavations and
