There appeared to be only one un-

after him, left him, 50 he announced TO

DegnOn Agreement Made.

DegnOn Agreement Made.
In the hope of relieving this situation
the then Public Service Commission
negotiated supplementary agreement
with tho Degnon Company Under it's
terms the contractor was to waive all
claims for damages and was TO receive
from the city the sum of $6c6, 600 in ad-
dition t. tic original contract price. to
enable the company to meet the cost OF
increased WAGES and to proceed with
the work. Mayor HyIan and his Board
Of Estimate colleagues. who then had
been in office since the previous Jan
uary. received this supplementary
agreement on November 10, 1918. They
failed to ratify il.
The tunnel work dragged along until
a strike. which begun In August, 1919,
tied it up effectualiy for months. and
finally the Degnon Company was unable
to resume because OF financial difficult
ties.
In the meantime the then Public Ser
vice Commission was succeeded by
Transit Construction Commissioner John
II. Delaney, and more harmonious rela-
tons were hoped for. MI. Delaney, a
prominent Tammany Democrat, was
then the appointce of Gov. Smith. At
'he present time he is Mayor Hylan's
Commissioned Of Docks and Ferries
agreement with the contractor. 1t was
substantially similar to the PRECIOUS one
in that II also called for an additional
payment of s626000 to help meet the
swollen wage scale. Mr.. Delaney sert
1t to the Board of Estimate on February
2. 1920. The Board Of Estimate dallied
with 1t nearly two months and on March
80 rejected 1t.
The Commissioner in mis- communica-
tion to the Board of Estimate had fig
ured that under the supplementary
agreement which he had negotiated the
total sum to be paid to the Degnon Com
pany for completing the work including
the additional $626. 900. was s1,799,113.62.
Bids Arc Readvertised.
Degnon struggled along and his coh-
tract was about one-third completed
when Commissioner Delaney declared
the contracting company in default and
rcadvcrtiscd for bids on the work re-
ma ming to be done. Patrick McGovern
was the lowest bidder and the contract
