errors BY A CLERK
COST BUCKLEY FIRM
100000 CONTRACT
Court Refuses to Interfere and
a Higher Bidder Gets
Subway Job.

Here's a New Years lesson for en-
ployees who handle their bosses fig-
ures.
A clerk In the employ OF the Thomas
J. Buckley Engineering Company.
which does millions OF dollars In sub.
way work each year. made two errors
In transcribing an estimate for building
the Seventh avenue subway which cost
his employers a 3d. 900 contract. The
two mistakes meant q difference Of
S2is.1i2 in the Buckley company's bid.
Justice Gavegan to-day refused to en-.
Join the Public Service Commission from
executing the subway plum" In favor
OF the Degnon Construction Company,
which filed the lowest bid. Had the
Buckley clerk Transcribed his employers
figures correctly the Buckley company
would have been $4,000 lower than the
Degnon company. and under the Gus.
tomary rule In giving the contracts I,
the lowest bidders would have been
awarded the contract.
The Buckley firm was one OF seven
OluueTB. NHcH TIE Ulus were opened
Il was found that the Buckley bid was
S3,222.634. There were two lower bids
tho lowest being that OF the Degnor
arm, which was s3.O59.522. The two
clerical errors were set forth by the
Buckley Company In Its complaint az
q reason why the Public Service Com.
mission should withhold Its award tc
the DeRnon Company.
The first error consisted In insert.
ing SIc instead Of 12 cents per pound
for special wire forms in place: the
second In inserting $45 instead OF 81
cents per lineal foot for galvanixet
iron pipe hand rail in place The cor.
rection OF these errors would have
made the Buckley bid. the Court found
about $4,000 below tho next loves
bid submitted.
The clerks blunders cost the city tn,
$4,000 which Father knickerbockei
would have saved had the bid gone I,
the Buckley Arm.
But what k most grievous to hi
employers Is the fact that this par
tilular section Of the subway on Sew
en,h avenue Is a sand excavatlon-on,
OF the simplest. easiest and cheapest u
all subway work.

HEAVY RAINFALL.

One OF the heaviest rains in the
month Of October began to fall in
Paris, Monday and has continued al
most increasingly since then with lit
tie prospect of relief. Government re-
ports show that since the rain began
approximately q of an inch has fallen
every twenty-fOur hours.
The streams in the county have ris-
ell rapidly and are now bank full and
running over and when the water
comes down from the headwaters OF
Stoner, there will be young flood
in prospect.
Whatever the result may be the
farmers are to a certain extent pre-
pared. The tobacco crop has been
housed and large acreage OF the
corn crop is in the shock. Cattle and
all kinds of stock are reported in ex-
cellent condition for the approaching
winter.
In the city the dOwnpour has caus-
ed a great deal of discomfort, but
no damage. The sewers have been
equal to the task Of carrying Off the
surface water, and the new street has
received a thorough flushing.
