New Brunswick, Oct. 21:-Law-
yer Irving Hoagland, who represents
a number of the creditors Of the Suf-
FOLK Construction Company, who
failed to complete the building of
the Beans and Franklin Park road,
appeared before the Board of Free
holders at It's meeting yesterday
with j. P. Giblon, of the Massachu-
setts Bonding Company, for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the amount of
liens filed against the road. The
Massachusetts Bonding Company
was on the bond of the Construction
Company and they have sub-con-
tracted for the building of the road.
Lawyer Hoagland will meet later
with the county solicitor, John A.
Coan, to figure up the amount of the
liens. So far the liens amount to
about $1,750.
Mr.. Hoagland stated to the board
that 1t was their purpose to have the
matter adjusted without bringing
the matter into the courts. The sub
contractor is completing the road
for 1890, and after he is paid for
his work the balance of the money Is
to be divided among the persons
who were doing business with the
Suffolk people. Mr.. Giblon attended
the meetinb so that he might get the
necessary information for his com
pany and what steps they would
have to take in order to bring about
settlement satisfactorily to all. He
said that his company did not want
to make any money on the road.
Director Hendricks stated that the
road will be accepted by the state as
soon as the contractor scrapes it as
he has been requested to. When
this Is done the director said that
the county engineer will figure out
the estimated cost and the county
will retain FIVE per cent. as a guar
antee that the road will be in prop
er shape for one year.
The contract for the building Of
the road was awarded to the Suffolk
Construction Company by the old
Board of Freeholders. After the
work was well under way the COM
pany ceased to continue its work and
the county called upon the bonding
company to complete the job, this
company being on the bond of the
contractor.
