CLAIMS. THAT CHANGES IN SEWER
CONTRACT ALLOW HIN THAT SUN
WILL PROBABLY BRING SUIT
Rumored at Green Bay That Suit Is
Intended II the Extras Are Not Al
lowed .concil Stands Pat.

The ma mOnLnly mtetlhB ~ llc WY
council last Monday night brought out
the fact that Antoine Hurkman intends
seeking some extras Just the little sum
OF SO, 7S9
The matter came mp on the allowing
bill Of the contractor for the last esti-
mate. the payment of which was delay
ed because there was no money with
which to pay for the work
II deyelopes that the contractor had
presented an itemized claim for ex-
tras and that the same had been referr-
cd 10 the engineer for his opinion and
Mr.. Bradbury wrote back that the
contractor was not entitled TO any ex-
traa but that the one item in his claim,
that of extra work in the alley east OF
Fifth street, carried some justice with
It,
The items upon which Mr.. Hurkman
claims extras is first in the North-wes
tern railroad company's yards where
he claims 81 per foot extra for 500 feet
of pipe because of changes. The sec
ond is a little item of over 81, 800 for
extra rock work. He states that he
agreed only TO excavate loo feet of
rock and therefore he asks the sum of
80. 63 per foot Another small item.is
the cost of the difference between the
brick and concrete catch Lasins amoun-
ting TO something over $500 and then
there Is an extra charge Of something
over $500 for work In the alley east of
Fifth street
The council ordered the bill OF the con-
tractors for work and material under
the contract allowed with reduction
of 8 per cent retained in the hands Of
the City for certain length OF time
40 per contract.
. A gentleman conyersant with the
affair informed representative of this
fsper some time ago that he heard at
Green Bay that a suit was intended on
the rock item and IL Is probable that
some litigation will follow. However.
Engineer Bradbury is very positive in
his stand.
