SETTLEMENT MADE WITH
SEWER CONTRACTOR--S150t

After two days Of wrestling with
the final windup Of the sewer problem
eur town council decided Wednesday
afternoon upon . compromise which
pays Contractor Collier about $500 of
the 5000 claimed for extras" IN
handling the big job.
The original cost Of the sewer In
District No. was estimated BY the
engineer, Peter O'Brien Of Denver, to
be $35 lot. The contractors bid
amounted to $31.47, but to this was
added nix per cent for incidentals, and
the interest until bonds were issued,
upUn certain dates nxed BY law. A
large part Of this incidental fund va

It developed that the contractor has
lost at least 5000 ON the job, largely
by the Increase in cost Of labor and
material since war started This he
paid out Of his own pocket. He also
owed bills for work and material,
mainly to Cunnison business men, that
were $500 In excess Of the ten per
cent balance reserved by the town for
just sch euerEencjeA
These debts had to be scaled down
prpportionately, or lawsuits fought, or
the contractor allowed part Of The ex-
tra compeAsation he claimed on &C
