HELD LIABLE FOR LOSS
IN PURCHASE OF HORSES
Perry Scott Fails to Live Up to Con-
tract With District, So Must
Pay Difference.

The controller of the Treasury today
decided. upon questions submitted to
him by the District Commissioners,
that Perry Scott Of this city is liable
to the District government for the Diff
ference in the cost Of horses purchased
in open market for the fire department
and the price he agreed to furnish
these horses for at contract. Accord
ing to the decision. Scott contracted to
furnish the District during the fiscal
year ended June 80 last with thirty
horses for the fire department at
s299.50 for each horse. According to
the Commissioners, Scott failed to live
up to the conditions of his contract,
and December II the Commissioners
passed an order annulling the contract
and authorizing the purchase in open
market of such horses as were immedi-
ately needed. directing that proposals
be invited in the usual manner. Under
this order thirty horses were purchased
during the remainder of the fiscal year
at price of $312.50 each.
The controller does not think that
Scott can be held for 'liqutdated"
