nary Work On North East
Water Plant Project

lanta, Ca, has started suit for the
recovery of approximately $4,000
which he claims is due him for pre-
liminary engineering work done on
a water plant project for the town

The plaintiff alleges that he was
engaged by the Town Board to in
stall a water plant at cost of
$4,000 but that later the contract
was broken, when, at special cleo
tion last spring, the citizens voted
against the installation of a water
system. All of which followed the
election last March of two new town
commissioners. who were against the
water proposition.
II had been arranged that WPA
was to share approximately 40 per
cent of the expense but the voters of
the town did not choose to share the
added expense.
The plaintiff is represented by At
torney Albert Constable and Attorn-
ey ]. Albert Roney is the defense
attorney.
