sit on hard seat all evening and think
YOU were having a fine time, but when
it's free you won't even sit on a nice soft

must feel lovely, too, to spend SO much

IN the contrary, there is very clear connection
between the way these older Super-Sixes hold

DEVEL|N TO FIGHT
CONTRACTORS BILL
Councilman Will Oppose Act to
Make Up Profits Lost
During War
WARE IS NOT INTERESTED

Protest will be made by Councilman
Devclin against bill which he says
would enable contractors TO recover
profits lost on work during the in
Hated period" caused by the war.
This measure will be introduced at
Harrisburg Monday. The contractors,
it is said, contend. that they lost heavily
because after they bid on work there
were big and unusual increases in the
cost of labor and materials.
Mr. Dcvclin, who will be in llarrlS-
burg Monday. sad:
81 am opposed to extending any aid
to contractors beyond actual losses sus-
,ain,d. In view of tre circumstances
think il Is fair enough TO make up for
losses but | do not think on account OF
conditions that contractors should put
in claims for profits.
Although II was reported that Senator
Ware was behind this bill, he said today
il would not interest him in any way
financially.
II understand that this bill will be
introduced at the suggestion of the
State Highways Contractors Associa
ton" he said. ~ think it is only
fair that these men who contracted for
work at pre-war prices and were then
compelled to go through with it after
the prices of labor and materials were
greatly increased. should be compensated
for their losses.
1T is my understanding that cities
will not b. affected by this measure
As ! have no state contracts, it car
be- seen readily that it would not affect
mo one way or the other
Tho senator cited several cases IL
which contractors were virtually forcct
to the wall on account of advance II
prices after contracts were entered.
