TOWNS SAY THEY
ARE NOT LIABLE
BrattlebOrO and Hinsdale Seleetmen
Notify Attorney Piper Concern
ing Bridge Co. Cllim.

In response to a request by Attorney
\. V. ID. Piper to the Selectmen of Brat
tleboro and Hinsdale that they notify
him Of their attitude toward the claim
of the United Construction Co Of Al
bany. y " for S6.329 in connection
with the erection of the Connecticut
river bridge opposite Bisdge street. the
selectmen of both towns have told him
of their attitude, it being identical in
both instances.
The position of the towns is that it
was for the contractors. the United
Construction Co. to erect the falSework
on which the bridge was built after the
temporary bridge built by the towns had
been carried ont by high water. 1t is
for this work that the company makes
its claim. The towns cite a section in
the contract which provides that any
question arising under the contract shall
be referred to the engineers employed
be final. They call Attorney Pipers at

in that it undertakes TO take the queS-
tion out of the jurisdiction of the courts
Attorney Piper says that the courts
have held repeatedly that this cannot be
done.

Hope of nationwide coal strike being

questions relating to the prospective
strike
The union officials were hopeful that
the operatives refusal of the govern
ment's appeal would be accepted as
defiant attitude on the part of the oper-
