STOCKTON COUNCIL HAS
TROUBLE WITH CONTRACT
Work Awarded by Resolution
Instead of Ordinance
Tc.I NIL j. TIL en-

STOCKTON. July 14.-An error in
procedure on the part of the city coun
ell has delayed in street work, if it
has not altogether nullified contract
amounting to over $4,000 which was
recently awarded to Guy T. Covault.
City Auditor Sievers discovered that
the contract had been awarded by reso-
luton whereas the city charter says
that street work in excess of $4,000
must be authorized by ordinance and
notified the contractor that his claim
for payment would be contested. The
affair has caused some little stir and
the error is causing the councillors some
little chagrin.
