Mr.. Moran then went on and pointed
ont that this was not a regular side
walk contract, but only some repairs
being done under direction of the city
engineer along the line of the paving.
He told the board that he still claimed
that he had followed the contract in
every particular. and would expect to
be paid for it.
The members Of the board had little
to say while Mr.. Moran was handing
them his hot line of talk, but grimly
passed the resolution
There are now three estimates for Mo-
ran on the Main street work which to-
tai SAC. 761 49, These are held up by the
action of the board, and unless the
mayor and council find some way to
pass them, Moran must go to the courts

objected because new curbing was be-
ing put in in Main street, and stopped
the work at the very start until the
mayor read the riot act 10 them. Then
they gave in. Before that they had
taken steps which those most anxious
to have the work done considered in the
light of opposition to the entire work.
The board also had before il d COM

ing that a detailed report on Morans
bill for repairing the wood stave outlet
pipe be sent in. This bill amounts to
$40. 45S.67, and the board has held that
only part of the work was ordered
through that body, though the admis
sion was made by the chairman that
the inspectors were on the work.
Chairman Mcmillan said he didn't
know how this estimate was ever be-
fore the council before the board had
passed upon it.
1t was decided that the chairman
would write the council stating the pO-
sitiOn Of the board in regard to the work
and what portion the board considers
itself responsible for. The chairman
will also send in detailed reports of the
inspectors who were on the work.
John Mann was placed on the waiting
list of inspectors.
