ATLAS CO. STOPS
WORK ON BRIDGE
Levy Court Turns Over
$1,000 Check for Company
TO Farmers Bank
SQUABBLE OVER NOTE
HALTS CONSTRUCTION

The Atlas Bridge Company today
stopped all work ON the new Third
street bridge upon the refusal Of the
Levy Court TO hand over'to IL a check
OF s2 ,d0O voted TO Il some days ago for
work done
The Levy Court declined 60 pay over
the check because the Farmers' Bank
claimed that IL was entitled 10 receive
the check and apply il on q $1,000 note
OF the Horrigan Contracting Company,
which is now in the hands of the re-
ceivers, and of which Mr., Cooper, cash
Ter OF the Farmers Bank, is one of tho
receivers
A meeting of the finance committee Of
the Levy Court was held on Friday az
4 O'Clock. attended by Mr.. Cooper, cash
ier of the Farmers Bank. and by the
officers of the Atlas Bridge Company.
The Farmers Bank presented an order
dated November 10, 1913, signed by Mr..
Torrigan, who was then president Of
the Atlas Bridge Company. calling for
the payment To the hank of 81 900 of the
money coming 20 the Atlas Bridge Com
panY. The bridge company objected 60
the Levy Court honoring this order upon
the ground that IL had been given by
w. j. Horrigan without the consent OF
the Atlas Bridge Company and in order
20 secure the individual note Of the Hor-
ripan Contracting Company. The bridge
company claimed IL WAS entitled itself
to receive the moneys earned by IL on
construction of the bridge in order that
it might pay for the labor aud material.
Another meeting was held this
/ utorufuof Ia tho ofipp of Colonial II
n Smith. which was attended by
Benjamin A. Groves, chairman Of the
finance committee OF the Levy Court,
/ by the counsel for the bridge COM
pany and the counsel for the Levy
Court Colonel Smith, on behalf Of
/ the bank, was willing to recede from
| his demand that the check be turned
] over to the bank only upon condi-
! tiOn that the Atlas Company would
guarantee TO pay the amount of the
/ Horrigan Contracting Company's
note out of some later payment The
Atlas Bridge Company then notified
its men that the action Of the Levy
Court made Il impossible for the com
pany TO meet its payroll.
This check for $4,000 which thu
bridge company is deprived of wal
the first payment they had beer
awarded by the Levy Court since
April
The Atlas Bridge Company con
tends that the holding up of thi
check cancels its contract and bon
