came surety for the Grace contract, and
provided the board agree also to allow 1t
extra composition for certain changes
in plans made in the interval before the
Grace company got 'in bad" with the
sanitary board.
Tho contract with the William Grace
Company, which the United States Fidel-
ity and Guaranty Company bound itself
to see executed faithfully, called for the
completion of the first unit Of the In
dianapolis sewage disposal plant by Dec.
J. 1920, at a total cost to the sanitary
district of 1921 900.
According to the announcement, with
its numerous apologies, which has been
given some publicity through the News,
the United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company will complete the contract for

coo, plus extras" by Oct. /, 1921.
In announcing this 'amicabIe settle

This little '1ndlscretion' appears to
have been part Of a long drawn out
dispute between the company bonded by

sanitary board that bought the garbage
plant, and the inference drawn from
the voluminous apologies" set forth is
that the construction company had tho
