Mayor Signs Resolution Which
Virtually Means Contractor
ForfeitS the Work.

Mayor Winn this afternoon approved
the resolution of council notifying the
Southern Bitulithic Company that it
must put the pavement Of North Boule-
ward in first class condition by Deem
Der 26 or forfeit its bond.
The finishing of the job in the~timo
specified is d virtual impossibility. and
the bondsmen may have to take over
the work
The resolution was adopted by coun-
ell yesterday following singing criti-
cisms Of the construction departments
loose methods in dealing with contrac-
tors by citizens. City Clerk Walter
Taylor took the resolution up to Mayor
VIM this morning that the contractor
might be notified ut once that he must
get busy or the city would look to his
bondsman.
1t is considered impossible for the
contractor to properly repair the street
by December % Council decided to
serve the notice on him more as a mat
ter of form than anything else.
Chester A. Dady. the contractor who
is building the Peachtree creek sewage
disposal plant, was granted six months
additional time in which to complete
the work by council yesterday. He had
already been granted two extensions of
three months each
"This Is mere child's play" declared
Alderman John r. McCleuand in op-
posing the extension" According to
the city attorneys own statement our
bonds are not worth a cent.
ITO be consistent we ought not to
have any bonds. We ought to tele-
phone contractors that we have so much
money to spend and for them to go
| ahead and do certain work as they see
fit"
