He had ordered Twic- hell to replace clay surfacing and other work worn out because of lack of proper maintenance, he said, He id Twichell had put more clay surfacing on the road than the plans required, and that Twichell had ignored his orders and gone aheadt with work, stating he was taking or ders only from the Bismarek offic | avin said he had looked over the award of the-hoard of arbitration and! he figured from the figures” that Twichell had, been, allowed. the full amount of his thtims which, he said, were excessive.

He said he did figure, and the engineers agreed on $18,000 settlement, as a compromise on Twichell’s claims. Asked if he were requested to ap- pear before the board of arbitration, which made the final settlement at a much higher figure, he said that he was not asked to do so. He said that he had examined the figures of the board and he was still convinced his figures were substantially cor- rect. Mr. Gavin testified that he had at various times suggested to Twichell, and also to former Chief Engineer Robinson and Chief Engineer Black that supplemental agreements be made in writing for extra work or- dered on the road, and that none had been made.
