COUNCIL ALLOWS LARGE SUMS

Suit Threatened For Damages

At the regular meeting of the town
council, held Tuesday evening, consid.
erable business of Importance was trans
acted and bills amounting to large sums
we're allowed and ordered paid. All
members Of the council and the mayor
were present.
The matter of a final settlement with
Fife Bros, of Spokane, for the work OF
street grading was brought mp, Mr.. John
Fife being present, as were also a num-
ber of citizens owning properties on the
streets graded. Mr.. Fife presented a
claim for $l245 for extras on the Spo-
kane avenue grade, claiming that he had
encountered rock excavation bet Ween
First and Pine streets. The under
standing when the contract was entered
into was to the effect that in case solid
rock was encountered Mr.. Fife was to
receive additional compensation or the
the grade eased so as to avoid expensive
work. Citizens present owning property
on Spokane protested against the claim,
stating that the rock encountered did
not come under the classified ton of solid
rock, but was decomposed granite, which
was handled without very much greater
expense than the dirt excavation.
The matter was finally compromised
by allowing Mr.. Fife $4,000 for the work
on Spokane avenue, an increase for the
extra work of $407 over the original con-
tract.
Bills for extras on other streets were
presented by Mr.. Fife as follows

contract price was as follows: Fourth,

of $9e41 go. The extras footed up $656 20
and resolution was adopted for pay
ment in full of the balance due MIR. Fife.

vices, which was allowed. as follows:
