SAYS THAT $625 { A MONTH IS IN r THE CONTRACT

W. J. Shaughnessy. president and manager of the Eastern Engin eering and Construction Company, when seen today at his office by a Times man and questioneda concerning the Steeplechase Bridge work ~refused to make any statement other than to say that there was a record in books of every dollar spent on the job and the purpose for which it was spent. That all payments had been made by check; that the cancelled vouchers were also there and that any respon- stble accountant was sWelcouTe to ex- anime the same and that he would gladly pay for the examination. The bills for the destruction of the ,steeplechase Bridge which are to be examined by a special committee of the Board of Apportionment have been rendered on the first of each month beginning with April and end ing with July and now total $30,1 1S3.96 and MT. Shaughnessy estimates that This will be some s5,000 less than the original estimate on the basis of which the city contracted for the work, clause in the contract reading:
 "The price of such labor and mate rials and for all services rendered by the contractor shall * in no event exceed the sum of $40,OOO.'
 
 an item of s625 per month paid 'su- per1ntendent"} This item is made clear by another clause in the con- tract with the city which reads: "a "The actual cost of the work shall include ss@ the services of Gen. i eral Superintendent of the company at salary not to exceed S,500 per annum."
 The general superintendent referred to in this clause is the manager of the Eastern Engineering Company. MT. Shaughnessy, who says that the same charge of $625 per month is included in every contract which the company makes on a cost plus basis and covers not only his own services in connec- ton with the work but the overhead of the office.
 In discussing the matter with MT. :Shaughnessy it was brought out that when the city contracted for the work they had no funds with which to pay for it and that although the contract provides for a monthly statement, which after verification is to be paid within about 15 days" he has had no payment although the bills have been presented each month and properly approved
