bridge. 1t took a half hour or more
to fix it, and ii was during the rush

S18,272 VERDICT
GIVEN TO CONTRACTOR
AGAINST RIDCEFIELD

The Cavanagh Contracting Company
of Hudson county was last Tuesday
awarded a verdict of $1S,272 against
the borough of Ridgefield by Il jury in
the Circuit Court following II trial
which began Friday week.
The suit was based on contract
made between the Cavanagh Contract
ing Company and the borough of
Ridgetield in May, 1916, for the con-
struction Of a sewer in that borough
to cost $S7 900. The Glove Indemnity
Company was the contractors bonds
man.
The plaintiff alleged that after do
ing part of the work on the sewer the
borough, without justification, stopped
him from completing the contract. The
suit was for labor and material which
had not yet been paid for.
The borough claimed justification of
its action and alleged the contractor
had not carried on it's work with prop
err diligence, and the borough in a
cross suit against both the contractor
and the bondsman sued for damages
because of the extra cost in complet-
ing the contract.
The iury'S verdict was for $4,000
and interest 1t was intimated that
the borough would probably appeal the
case.
John ]. Fallon and former Judge
William NJ Seufert appeared for the
contractor, Ralph and Ernest Lum for
the surety company and William J..

that Japanese subjects have bought

ment was issued on behalf of the de

Il can say that up to the present
there has been no sale of lands in Low

neither has the department of develop.
ments authorized anything giving for.

Moreover. since our constitution

to all matters referring to Lower Cali.

been authorized have been for a re-
duccd number of hectares and to resi-.
dents Of various small villages Of that

THE only paying exploitation that

that if the American department OF
