To Visit America City To Lend Bleachers To High School The city recreation de- partment and the city com- mission have taken steps to alleviate the shortage of seating in the new Key West High Sehool football stadi- um. A request from high school main- tenance superintendent Joe Cates Night Watehman Is Injured By Unknown Person James Herring, 62, 410 Olivia Street, is recovering today from a bump on hié head received early this morning from an unknown as- sailant. Herring, night watchman for the Columbia Laundry on Simonton Street was taken to Galey Memor- ial Hospital by police officer E. Pinder who investigated the inci- dent. He also suffered a cut on his forehead received when he fell af- ter receiving the blow from be- was brought before the commis-| hind sion last night. Cates pointed out that construction of the stadium | his had depleted the funds provided, and that although some bleachers have been purchased, it is felt that more will be needed. He asked, therefore, for permis- sion to use some of the temporary bleachers at Wickers Field to sup- Plement the seating capacity of the new field. Albury Willing Commissioner Louis Carbonell told the commission that he had talked with Paul Albury, city re- creation director, and had learn- ed that after this weekend, the seats can be made available to the high school. Events which will require the use of the bleachers at Wickers Sta- dium Saturday and Sunday will prevent transfer of the seats in time for the St. Theresa game Fri- day night. The high school has promised that the bleachers will be return- ed to their present position at the conclusion of the football sea- son. The commission voted unani- .|mously to permit the loan of the .| seats to the high school. -| FIERY PROTEST TOKYO (#—Teisaburo Fukuda refused his son permission. to marry a 27-year-old Japanese girl but that didn’t quench the blaze by her love.

The complaint further states that Cothron, Lamb and the Bel- es Oil Company all submitted ids.

According to exhibits filed with the bill of complaint, both Cothron and Lamb submitted bids to rent following equipment on an hourly basis with operators fur- nished: Equipment Three draglines at $10; three bulldozers at $10; two graders at $10; two rollers at $9; 12 dump trucks at $3.75; four air compress- ofs at $3.50; and one Ford load- er at $8. 10 days later, another exhibit shows the rental prices to have jumped to the following: ‘bree draglines, $11; three bull- | dozers, $11; two graders, $11; two rollers, $10, 14 dump trucks, $4: | four air compressors $4; and one Ford loader, $8.50. The complaint goes on to say that the original bid submitted by Cothron specified the terms of the contract to be from April 1, 1951, to March 31, 1952, 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 12, 1954 “‘in the aggregate of $536,- 386.56. Contract Signed An exhibit shows that the con- tract signed by the commissioners with Cothron on April 17 — after Lamb had upped his setond bid — carried the following provisions: “No 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 a corpora- tion 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 $172,849.95 for rental of equipment from April 7, 1951 to March 12, 1954. Lamb participated in the fill pro- ject — known as Fill Project No. 150 — as a sub-contractor, the complaint states, “‘notwithstand- ing the fact that there was no pro- vision. in said contract providing for his services as a sub-contrac- tor, nor was his status as sub- contractor otherwise revealed, but his status as sub-contractor was fraudulently concealed in violation of said contract.” Commissions Paid The bill of complaint further sions during 1950 to 1954 inclusive, Of the total, the complaint says, $36,500 was paid by Lamb to Bate- man during the period from April 7, 1951 to March 12, 1954, The complaint says the payments r ane were made unlawful- y in furtherance of the conspira of the defendants to 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.
