COMPLETES BIG CONTRACTS.
Joe Cafero Erects Sugar Factories ii
Honduras and Venezuela.

Joe Caf1ero Erects Sugar Factories In
Honduras and Venezuela.
AS briefly mentioned in The Chief
last week, Joseph T. Cafero, Donald
sonville's widely known "put up and
take down. man, returned home on
the goth ultimo after completing the
erection of a big sugar factory at El
Porvenir plantation near Ceiba, Hon.
duras. The plant is owned by the
Honduras Sugar and Distilling Com
pany, and a great part of the ma
chinery was formerly included in the
mechanical equipment of the Stanton
factory in this state. The job of TAX
ing down this outfit and packing it
for shipment to Honduras was ham
dledaby Mr.. Cafero. and in the re-
building of the p1fe IN its new To-
cation every detail eo5f the work was
directed by the DonaIdsonville con-
tractor except the erection Of the
building and stacks, which were put
up by John H. Murphy, of New Orr
leans. That Mr.. Cafero executed
this big contract in an efficient and
expeditions manner is indicated by the
following letter from A. w. Norman,
general manager of the Honduras SUI
gar and Distilling Company, to E. IF.
Keynes, of New Orleans, secretary
treasurer of the corporation.
am pleased to advise that Mr..
Jos. Z. Cafero has completed his con-
tract with your company. His work
has been satisfactory to the mahage-
ment, and everyone speaks in best
terms of Joe and his work You can
make final settlement with him, and
thank him for his very efficient SER
vice.
The Ell Porvenir plant as completed
by Mr.. Cafero is considerably larger
than the original Stanton mill, hav-
ing a capacity of about $50 tons Of
cane per day. which will shortly be
increased to 1000 tons by the install
lation of two new rollers. Grinding
was started the middle Of July and
will last about eight months. Chester
R. Israel, formerly of this city, has
been engaged as superintendent Of
the plant, and Jack Landry, also an
erstwhile Dona1dsonyille boy. will
have charge of the derrick. Joe Lee
tulle, of ST. James, will preside over
the engine-room. Messrs. Landry and
Letulle, who were employed by Mr..
Cafero in the erection Of the plant,
but were compelled to return home
before the work was completed, ow-
ing to illness, left for Honduras last
Sunday to assume their respective po-
sitions. Clarence Burton, well known
in this section, is the efficient general
superintendent Of the FL Porvenir
property and supervised the construe-
ton Of the sugar factory.
Mr. Cafero, whose fame as con-
tractor is firmly established in the
tropics as well as at home, has also
just completed the erection of a
mill at Batey, Venezuela, for the
Venezuela Sugar Company. The
plant was formerly the St. Cecilia
factory located in the parish of st.
Martin, this state, and was taken
down, transported to Venezuela and
re-erected on its new site by Mr..
Cafiero with the same degree of eff
fciency that characterized his exc
cution of the Honduras contract and
all other jobs he has handled.

Must Sue in Local Court.

Furthermore, the Subcontractor is obli-
gated to give notice to all other SUBJ
contractors and material men, and can
tring suit only in the district court hav-
ing jurisdiction over the place where the
building is located. If Il Subcontractor
or material man is compelled to sue on
the bond now, and the building is 10
Gated on the Pacific coast, the suit
would have to be commenced there, not
withstanding the general contractors and
the subcontractors live on the Atlantic
coast Even then, as the government has
first claim under the bond, the material
dealers and the Subcontractors might find
the security exhausted They would,
therefore, be left high and dry without
security.
The Logue bill provides that two obli-
cations shall be given. One would be
to bond the contractor to complete the
building, and the other would protect SUBJ
contractors and material men, the latter
being known as the penal bond. 1t pro-
vides that action may be brought either
where the building is located or where
the contractor lives; that the right of
action is limited to subcontractors and
material men who have dealt with the
general contractors. or with a Subcon-
tractor dealing directly with the general
contractor; that suits can be brought at
any time when payments that the general
contractor should have made under the
terms Of his contract with his subcon-
tractor have not been made.
The bill further provides that each one
entitled to the right Of action can bring
it without regard to others. The Logue
bill is intended to furnish to material
have long sought, and make easy the
bringing of actions, not requiring that
they be postponed until the completion
OF the general contractors work.

The Logue bill outlining the creation
of Il bureau of public buildings already
has been explained in The Star. An
other bill is that to protect Suhcontrac-

the government takes a single bond
when work is to be done on public

the benefit of the subcontractors and
