Lawsuits Threatened.
The city will in all probability. have
two lawsuits on its hands in regard TO
tho wooden stavc pipe line, ono for the
balance due 10 the Campbell Building
company. on the original contract for
the construction of the pipe line, and
another for the amount claimed by =.
j, Moran for repairing the line. The
board cf public works. at Il special
meeting held in Chairman McMi llan $
Office on Saturday afternoon, rejected
the final estimate of the Campbell com
pany. amounting to S6l7i.j3. Mr..
Campbell and several of the inspectors
of the board of public works, declared
at a recent meeting of the board, that
T the line was constructed strictly &C
cording TO specifications, but City En-
. ginecr Chaney declared that 1T was not
: and the board, by its action of Satur
day. upheld the city engineer; hence
the Campbell company Will not receive
the balance due 1T on the contract with
out a lawsuit As 10 the repair work
done by Mr.. Moran, the special com
mittee Will probably report in favor
of allowing him tho amount found due
according to the reports of the inspect
: ors for the board of public works
who were on the Job, which viii be con
sidcrab bly, below the amount claimed by
him, consequently the city will likely
have a lawsuit over that matter
