Firm Subject to Penalty.

Yesterday the firm Of jeffrey &
Button became delinquent in its con-
tract to construct the conduit along
the upper end of the gravity water
line and, under the terms of the con-
tract, is now subject to a penalty of
$50 a day. Inasmuch as the firm has
hardly more than gotten under way
with the work and can not possibly
complete 1t before a month or six
weeks, the amount of the penalty
would assume large proportions. Un-
der the contract the company was to
have the conduit built by April and
some time ago the water commission,
seeing that the work would not be
completed by the time specified, no.
titled the company and the bonding
house that the penalty would be ex-
acted. The situation Is something
similar to that in which the Portland
Bridge and Iron Co. finds itself for
not completing the Matlock street
bridge on time. 1t is possible thai
law suits may result.

EFFORT MADE TO BLOCK
CITY GETTING PENALTY
BRIDGE REPRESENTATIVE OP-
POSES ATTEMPT TO COLLECT
LARGE AMOUNT.

Contending that the city is more re-
sponsible for the delay in the con-
struction of the Matlock (Star) street
bridge than is the Portland Bridge
and Iron Works, that the supplement-
contract, entered into at the time
Councilman Cole and Engineer Kim
brell were sent east, had annulled
the terms of the original contract and
that the company had acted in good
faith in trying to construct a satis-
foctory bridge, Coy Burnett, repre-
sentative of the bridge company, ap-
cared before the council last even.
a penalty provided in the original con-
tract for failure to complete the
bridge by November /, 1913.
The street committee and the en-
tire council have intended all along
to collect the penalty of $40 per day
which now amounts to over s11OO and
last evening individual members de-
clared themselves opposed to any
modification of the penalty. Mr.. Bur-
nett, in his speech, stated plainly that
he did not believe the penalty could
be collected in the courts The re-
suit was that the matter was left with
the street committee and that the
committee was given power to effect
a settlement. 1t Is possible that the
matter will be compromised to avoid
a law suit.

the filling in at either end which is
being done by the city. and Mr.. Bur-
nett stated that his company would
like to secure the money due 1t. In
opposing the exaction of a penalty,
he declared that the company was
one-third responsible for the delay
and the city two thirds. Therefore.
he said, the company really had $500
more due ii than under the contract.
He maintained that the city engineer
in rejecting the steel sent here, reject
ed market steel, part Of which was
accepted after the engineer and chair
man had gone to Omaha at the COM
pany's expense to get acquainted with
steel where 1t Is handled. At that
time, the original contract was am
ended by an agreement relative to the
spection Of the steel and Mr.. Bur-
nett contends that this amendment
virtually broke the penalty provision
of the original.
Furthermore, he declared that the
company had gone to considerable ex-
pense in proving that its steel was
d and that 1t had made changes in
the bridge which the city desired and
every possible way had tried to keep
faith He stated that he is very IA
miliar with contract making and that
he does not believe any court would
held the penalty collectible in view of
the obvious attempt to keep faith and
the fact that condition arose making
the fulfillment of the terms Of the
contract impossible.
In the course of the discussion, 1t
developed that $4,000 worth of bills
against the bridge work had been
turned into the city for collection
Mr.. Burnett explained that these bills
were incurred by sub-contractors who
had not enough money by $1,000 com.
ing to pay them and that he was per
fectly willing that the city pay them
and deduct the amount from the mon.
ey due the company. "The company
is responsible" he said, "and has It's
bond up"

The contest exemplified the fact that
nothing is certain in baseball, and es-

six runs on conglomeration OF misplays,
a couple Of hits and dead ball. Then
they took it easy while the BARRIERS played
on industriously. In the third they took
a pair, counted again in the fourth and

broke in the last Of the sixth they rushed
over three more runs and won the game
