W;;NT CLAIM
IN the s. ING SUIT SATISFIED
May Ur,S MAT Savage Pay Over
$4,000 to MCkivOr to Settle Lat
May Uri~ NAT Savage Pay Over
$4,000 to McKivOr to Settle Lat
terNs Obligations.

Now that the superior court has
handed down a ruling favorable to
the plaintiff in the. McKivor-Savage
suit, which sustains the injunction
against the city, and which in effect
states that the city shall withhold
$4,000 of the bonds due the Savage
company until the McKivor claim is
settled, several very fine points are
presented as to what course the city
should take.
Briefly the facts of the suit are
that William McKivor, the local con-
tractor who did the excavating for
the pavement, claims an unpaid bal
ance due him of approximately S1O.-
900. which is disputed by the Savage
company. In bringing the suit against
Savage, the city was enjoined from
paying the bonds until the claim was
satisfied.
The court holds that the city
should exercise every precaution to
protect its employees, basing that rul-
ing on numerous decisions of the SUI
preme court. Now the situation
which confronts the city is as to what
course of action can be mapped out
which will be perfectly fair to both
sides
The Savage company admits Nc
Kfvor's claim to the amount of $4,000
and has deposited this sum with the
court, but is not willing that this
sum should be paid to McKivor at
once to aid him in his financial diff
Guilty.
The law provides on the other hand
that in case the suit is decided against
the contractor, that the plaintiff Nc
Kivor will be assessed the costs, am
Ounting to perhaps $500.
Several sof the councilmen are of
the opinion that the city should use
its influence to have that part of the
McKivor claim which is admitted by
Savage. viz, $4,000, paid over, less
$500, the estimated cost of the suit
which the court shall set aside pend
ing the decision of the remainder of
the claim in controversy, which am
cunts to between $4,000 and $4,000.
This arrangement, 1t is pointed out,
will protect the Savage company in
case of decision favorable to them
and the payment of the part of the
claim admitted by the paving com
pany to McKivor will enable him to
settle most of his obligations, which
are still outstanding.
