WAR OF words OVER
NEW BRIDGE CONTRACT

Little business was transacted al

Court today The only business that
was anyway interesting was an argu-
ment between J. l.. Vincent, general
contractor for the Third street
bridge and Samuel l. Burris chair
man OF the bridge committee. Mr.
Vincent desired the court TO pay him
for the bridge work Mr.. Burris
contended that he would never sign
the checks until local contractors had
been paid what was due them This
course. Mr. Burris said, was the only
/ proper course TO pursue as he was
| under obligations TO the local con-
/ tractors.
Mr.. Vincent intimated that the bills
OF the local contractors might be
wrong. whereupon Mr.. Burris said he
expected 10 obtain itemized bills
from local contractors who worked
on the bridge.
This procedure was approved by
Mr. Scott and other members OF the
court.
Bills Of many individuals who die
work on the structure we're discussed
by Mr. Vincent and members OF tn,
court.
The contract price for the super
structure as $4,000. and Mr. Vim
cent has already secured S90.639. The
bills OF the local contractors. II as
said. totaled $4,000 and a penalty
amounting to $1,000 imposed on Mr.
Vincent for extension Of time in con-
structing the bridge remains unpaid.
The sum owed Mr.. Vincent. IL was
said. was about $4,000.
In all probability the question will
be considered at a conference TO be
held later in the week.
At the session this mornins the
sum OF $500 was advanced to the ac-
count Of APPOINTMENTS hundred for
