VALDOSTA
IS SUED
Valdosta, Oa., Nov. 4.—The South-
Paving and Construction Company
has entered suit against tho city of
Vqldosta for $2,168 for an alleged
balance due from the contract for
street paving. The company al
leges that the city deducted that
much from their biH In the final set
tlement and the court Is asked to
give a verdict for that sum against
tho city.
The city on the contrary, clainjB
that it had two paving contracts.
The first was given this company at
$1.75 a square yard, but with the
proviso that tho company would re
fund to tho city the difference in this
price and what the work would be
done for under bids, the mntter to
be determined when Ihe city gave
tho contract for paving of all the
streets. The first contract was for
only a part of one street, which was
to be a sample of the work.
When the city's contract was let
under sealed bids the same company
was a bidder and took the work at
$1.39 per square yard, and specified
a ten ton roller where they had only
used a two ton machine- in the flrsf
work.
When the work wa$ completed and
the final settlement was made, the
city deducted the difference between
the first and last price, as per terms
of the contract, which was $2,168.
The company contended thnt this
was not right bo the matter will go
In tho courts.
The caso is regarded as quite im
portant as it will settle an interest
ing point of law, to say nothing of
the amount Involved.

was on for the sale of the majority
of the stock and that they could dis
