SEWER PLANT
IS CONDEMNED
Continued From PAGE -

from evidence gathered from all the
witnesses examined, we find that the
plant does not do the work it was
claimed it would do, but that it is an
absolute failure.
1--WE have examined the contract and
guarantee bond for this work, and find
that the only contract in possession OF
the CITY Is an uncertined copy of the
original contract. We find further that,
after the first contract was made with
the Public Works Engineering company,
there were two others contracts, or
agreements. made with this company
WORKING a change in the original con-
tract. and these last named changes be-
inc made apparently without the consent
of the bonding company AID after the
bond was made.

CAS- a result of al of our investiga-
tons. it appears to the grand jury that
the amount expended bv the city for this
plant is a total loss to the taxpayers,
as all the evidence shows the plant to be
worthless for the purpose for which il
was constructed. Also owing to the
changes made in the contract, we do not
believe the city can ever enforce this
bond. so that this plant can be made
TO do the work it was claimed and guar
anteed to do and we cannot but put the
blame for this loss where it belongs,
that IS. upon the city government, be-
cause Of the great carelessness and neg
Iact in not having all the papers in
proper shape to protect the city's IN
terests.
