law regarding the duties OF owners OF

to approve the forms of contract Tor me

the deep pressure rock tunnel for the con-
veyance of the Catskin water from fon-
Sers TO Brooklyn. The advertisements Tor
bids on the work have therefore been with

through may have been responsible for Ger
tain clauses in the contract forms when
he considers decidedly unfavorabIe to the
city The amount of the bonds required
was so high, il is stated, that only rev
contractors could have entered into the
competitive bidding.
1t is likely that the entire contract
forms will be redrawn and the specinea-
tons gone over by committee OF en-
gineers of the Board of Estimate before
bids are asked for again. 1t cannot posi-
bly, be done before the end OF the year
