So Decides After Three Man

Served by Contractors.
CITY JOBS NOT TO STOP
Sought to Obviate HardShipS,
Is Explanation of CommiS-
Sioner HirShfeld.

After a consultation with Mayor
Hylan, Commissioner Of Accounts
David Hirshfleld has decided to per-
init the payment Of the S1,oOo,OOO
worth of pay warrants for construc-
ton work, which had been held up
for more than a week.
Mayor Hylan and had a talk"
said the Commissioner Of Accounts.
"and it was decided that rather than
subject any honest contractor to the
slightest hardship pay warrants will
be issued on evidence Of good faith.
by this I mean that where con-
tractors have done work and deliv-
cred material beyond the amount for
which money Is due them, and where
they have signed waivers or have
agreed to do 80. their warrants now
due will be promptly paid"
will you insist upon the carrying
out of the suggestion of Mr.. Inter
myer that contractors agree to per-
NIT the city to hold back 25 per cent
of the cost OF a job until 1t has been
completed and passed upon by your
experts?" Mr.. Hirshheld was asked.
This will not be insisted upon in
the case OF these warrants" replied
the Accounts Commissioner. The
Mayor will sign the warrants without
tho additional percentage clause in
this particular instance and leave the
settlement OF that phasa Of the ques-,
ton TO the conference Of lawyers"
The mandamus writs were sued out
by former Comptroller Edward M.
Grout,S acting as attorney for the
Uvalde Asphalt Paving Company,-in-
volving the sums Of &93,s4O, H2s,2S5
and $3.50. Warrants for each have

Commissloner Hirshfield had sud

ous classes of construction contract
