C., Jane 24, 173. Mr. Editor: A brief but well-timed article in your issue of yesterday on the subject of care and economy in District ap; ‘istions sug- ests this communication. Messrs. Hunt oe a = and oe 8 the Jef- ferson scboo! building, are persistently urging a claim before the lhistrict Legislature for Fine 900 Sdditvonal compensation over and above the sum for which contracted to do work. It is becoming too common an ocour- parties who take @ contract at the lowest bid, to subsequently present a heavy cia'm for rehef, and it is noteworthy that by sore hows pocus they invariably succeed in their demands. 1u this way the people are de frauded of the benefits of competition in such cases, and are compelied to pay the hi in- stead’ of tit lowest prices. To ‘against this evil Congress has enacted tn seh > tion of the act that “the ed Assemblygbail never grant or authorise extra compensatiom, fee, Or allmoamce, to any public officer, agent, servant, or contractor, after ser- vice has been rendered or a contrart made.” And again, in the Ivth section, that ‘the Legislative Assembly shall have no power to release or as- tinguish, in whole or in part, the indebtedness, ability, or obligation of any corporation or in- dividual to the District or to amy municipal corpo- ration therein.” Neither the object nor the language of the law could be more plainly ex- pressed.
