ly in furtherance Of the conspiracy
Of the defendants 10 defraud the
State Road Department and that
the payments were in violation Of
the costract provision barring Dis
trict employees from sharing In
any part OF the contract.
The Floyd Lamb Construction

states, partially built a house for
Bateman in the Paraiso subdiv;.
sion near Marathon and used A

ployees.

The complaint goes on 10 sav
mat the terms of Bateman's bond

tne State Road Department that
me bonding company, the Fidelity
ana Deposit Co. Of Maryland b
required to pay not more than the
sum Of the bond, szs,o 200.
The complaint also charges that
Cothron billed the District for more
equipment than he actually used
such as charging for two dras.
lines and two bulldozers when onlv
one Of each was used, and for sig
70 a dump trucks when only three
to I'VE were used on the lob.
The road department, in the
complaint, also says that the Dis.
trict paid out $5s6, 3S6.ss during the
period Of the contract but that the
recomputed charges Cothron would
be entitled to make. should not bs
more than $27s, 5ss.z7 and perhaps

Because Of this fraud and de-

and Lamb submitted bids to rent

The complaint goes on to say
that the original bid submitted by
Cothron specified the terms of the
contract to be from April /, 1851,
to March 81, 1852.
But that the second bid - the
one accepted by the commissioners
- did not state the duration of the
contract and that Cothron received
payments from the District on be-
half Of the Plaintiff until March
IL, 1854 Gin the aggregate Of $685..

Contract Signed
An exhibit shows that the con-
tract signed by the commissioner
with Cothron on April IL - after
Lamb had upped his second bid -
carried the following provisions:
mo employee or commissioner
shall be admitted to any share or
part of this contract or to any
benefit that may arise therefrom
unless it be made with q corpora
ton for its general benefit" and
"Sub-contractors: The contractor
shall cause appropriate provisions
to be inserted in all sub-contracts
related to this contract to insure
the fulfillment Of all those provi-
sions affecting such sub contrac-
tors"
Despite these provisions, the
complaint says, Cothron paid Lamb
$172, 84s.95 for rental of equipment
from April 7, 1851 to March IL,
1854.
Lamb participated in the fill pro-
ject - known as Fill Project No.

complaint states, ''notwithstand-
ing the fact that there was no pro-
vision in said contract providing
