It is in favor of George Parks & Co., and calls for extras on u contract to boilers at the Douglas county The contract for setting the wae let to the Parks firm early bolle in the fall, for a lump sum of $2,97, which amount was pald to that firm November 19. The original contract provided, as committee report attached, that thera should he no extras of whatsoever nature he contract covered all that was necessary to be done, In a notation attached to the pending biil the county comptroller calls attention to the fact that Parks & Co., have charged | in thelr bill $1.40 per yard for sand, while Hull & have contracted to furnish | sand to the county t 78 cents per yard that cement 18 ¢ for at the rate of %0 cents per sac hile Hull & Co. fur nish cement to the county at 204 cents.a shown 1 as sack The itemized bill for extras of Parks & | Co., charges for material $191.39; for steam- | fitting §273; for brick masons, $162.7, and for helpers $198.05. Thus there is a labor st a cost for materlal « of $101.39, ser explains that the ital kept tab on the heurs put M by the steam fitters, masons and helpers, and that he supposes the | same 48 correet. The work done was the digging of a pit wherein a tank that had to be moved could be placed. Then the pit had to be bricked up and new connec- ticns made with the tank and bollers. Ac- eording to some contractors who have seen the bill fot extras, the steamfitters, masons ard other workers must have been kept on the ground during all the time the work was In progress, and no one has yet ex- tained just why this was necessary. There 18 another bill connected with the same Job, in favor of the United States | supply company, for $251, for a valve by which the boilers and tank can be changed Men familiar cost of $884.40, a used By the Superintendent B engineer of the ho: work: from high pressure to low.

The whole .natter will be investigated and ‘ventilated by the board before the Parks & Co., bill for extras is allowed.
