M'INTOSH CLAIM
PAID BY CITY
CONTINUED from Page ~

their pay therefor has been due and
unpaid for more than month; that
it had been held up by the citizens
committee and that they had no
dealings with them but were deal
ing with the city, through its mayor
and commissioners; that they had to
make estimates high enough that the
bids might be kept within the es-
Inmates. He said there had been
bids for S279,000, $4,000 and $40
600; that the final successful bid was
/ $244,000, which is $4,000 less than
the estimates and that is not un-
usual that the city has not lost Il
cent; that the bids were not made
on the estimates but on what the
work is worth; He said they would
not force their services on anybody;
that they did not have to do that,
rs they had more than they could
/ do, but he did not want to be placed
in a position to be criticised.
The mayor asked the city attor-
ney if the commissioners could pay
this bill and thereby get rid of Nc
Intosh & Walton and also asked
Mcintosh ii he was willing to re-
sign. Mcintosh said it would not
look right and he did not want to
admit they had done anything
wrong as they had not and to do so
would hurt them in other places.
City Attorney Riddle gave it as
his opinion that there should be a
provision in the motion to allow the
| bill that Mcintosh & Walton would
hold the city harmless on the re-
mainder of the contract.
Commissioner Fraley then made
a motion to allow the claim OF S9OOU
suggesting that later on the com
missioners vote on the proposition
as to desiring the further services
OF the engineers. The mayor sug-
gested that the motion be to allow
the claim and later decide if the
city wanted him to continue ms
services. and Commissioner Fraley
insisted there should be something
in black and white to show that the
city will not be held liable on the
remainder of the contract. Mayor
Roberts said that would result IN
putting Mcintosh in very bad
light.
City Attorney Riddle called atten-
ton to the fact that Mcintosh mad
said in open council that ii the city
does not want his services he VIII
not force them upon it,
Commissioner Fraley's motion
was then seconded by Commissioner
Gardner and, on being put, all the
commissioners voted for it and Mr.,
Mcintosh got his money
