JOHNSON CONTRACT AGAIN
Mayor and City Solicitor to Try
Courts Once More

Mayor Moore and City Solicitor
Smyth are planning to take before the
courts once again, and try to break. the
perpetual" contract Philip II. John
son has with the city as the sole archi-
tcct for construction for the Department
of Health. City officials said that the
Johnson contract, relic of the old
Durham regime. was holding up a great
deal of public work and so far has cost
the taxpayers about $50 900 in fees for
the SIC. 900, 900 worth of work which
has passed through Mr.. Johnson's
hands.
The Mayor singled out the Johnson
contract for attack in his recent address
before the City Club. indicating that
the city charter was responsible for the
consequent hampering of the city ad-
ministration. The charter empowers
the Mayor to appoint a city architect of
his own with the proviso that the ap-

subcommittee of the charter revision
committee. pointed out, however. that

charter provision has nothing to dc
with it. He also argued that il the
contract is invalid the charter cannot
validate it.
