Complainant AYERS that he has been
peculiarly embarrassed and further Sc
riously damaged by defendants utter
disregard of the urgency for the com
pletion of said work on said power
house and his failure to properly and
promptly push this portion of said
work in that, relying on defendant s
agreements with reference thereto,
complainant has contracted for large,
heavy and costly electrical machinery
to be installed in said power house,
Portions Of said machinery have al
ready been constructed and payments
are already due thereon and are being
demanded of complainant. Said pow

months yet to even begin the work Of
of installing said machinery. The re.
suit is complainant will be put tC
heavy cost and expenses in paying fol-
and taking care of said machinery
pending the completion of said work

machinery may be installed therein. "
