CITY AND PETITIONERS ARE IN
A VERY BAD LEGAL TANcLE

Excitement was rife early Wednes-
day morning when it was learned that
the contractors on the street gravel
ing job had laid off their workmen
and withdrawn their machinery pend
ing the receipt of money from the
bonding house.
AS has already been made plain, q
suit has been filed in the supreme
court by Millard Fairlamb and other
petitioners, to en5oin the city of Delta
from proceeding with the work OF
graveling. The bonding company has
refused to advance any spondulicks
until the suit is settled, which, It is
stated by Denver officials. will prob
ably not be reached before July 3.
Meetings of parties from both sides
Of the controversy, have been frequent
and it is barely possible that the suit
will be withdrawn.
In the meantime Main street which
for several weeks has been kept noisy
with the shrek of the exhaust on the
heavy trucks, is as quiet as Quaker
meeting. The graveling proposition
has had a precarious existence from
the start, and the troubles of the city
council may not be over yet, as by the
terms of the contract the contractors
may institute suit against the city
for violation of contract in making
payments when due.
Well, perhaps the matter will be set
tied today and everything will be love
ly tomorrow.
