BonG Of Incinerator Concern Was Not

SUIT MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE
Henry Fiasch Declares That His Rep.

Too Optimistic.

The city commission has no way Of
forcing the FTasch Chimney company
into carrying out it's contract for the
20-ton incinerator. The council faces
this situation: ali that it can accom-
pIish is TO annuI the contract.
Although the contract is signed, yet
the bond for $4,000 which the concern
promised to file, and which the con
tract provides must be filed within 10
days after the agreement is signed.
was not placed with the city clerk
and the council therefore cannot ask
for the forfeit Of this sum It is pos
sible that suit could be started against
the concern, should it not carry out
the agreement, but advisability Of this
step is in question.
The contract provides that If the
bond is not flied within ten days that
the council can annul the contract
This gives little relief, however, since
if the concerns backs down on the
agreement as indications now point TO,
all of the time and efforts of the com
mission in going over the plans and
the work Of drawing up the contract
has been Of no avail
Too Optimistic.
Tt is understood that Henry Flasch,
the owner of the company, has de-
clared that his representative in this
territory was too optimistic of the re-
suits which could he accomplished
with the iucinerator here In other
words the company is not positive
that the specifications called for in
the way of the work Of the plant can

Another fear OF the company. it IS
said. is that it is not sure that it will
be able TO protect the city on patent
