STREETNUISANGE SCORED IN SUIT AGAINJT CITY Unbusiness-Like Methods of City Set Forth in Injunction Petition. Continued From Page One. was "no good." and the city did not enforce its bonds, anyhow. City Doesn’t Keep Contractors to Terms. The petitioners say the street can not possibly be completed within the time limit. It is evident that it will not be finished this winter. They insist that the past experience of the city in the management of its constructive work fully justified the statement of the con tractor that his bond would not be en forced. “It has been for the past ten or fif teen years almost the unbroken policy of the city of Atlanta not to insist upon the terms of its contracts being com piled with, either with reference to ma terial, completion within the stipulated period of time or the enforcement of any bond for the faltnful performance of the work. Scarcely any public work, if any at all, within the past ten years has been completed In the manner and way and time contracted for. Many of the bonds taken are pure formalities, and the bonds are not of sufficient value to cause them to be kept. Sev eral of the bonds have been lost by the city, the sureties not notified, in com pliance with the bond, of the default,” says the petition. The petitioners are J. E. Raley, \V. A. Parker. L. Pettigrew. J. A. Car roll. J. C. Baldwin. R. J. Scott, John Berkle, A. C. Bruce. Charles T. Hop kins, S. L. Rhorer. L. B. Sanders. C A. Tappan, L. E. Bennett. W. N. David son, George Mau. R. C.

"If the contractor for the North Boulevard work does not complete it within the time set by his contract, I shall insist that his bond be forfeited to the city, declared Mayor Courtland S. Winn today. He had just been shown I The Georgian with the story of the citizens' suit. If council adopts a resolution reliev- 1 ing the contracto.- of his bond liabill- I ty, it must do it over my protest," he continued. "The time has come when we must see that this street work is expedited, that the thoroughfares shall not be left torn up and unfinished. "I have been repeitedly urging on the chief of construction that he see that the paving of West Fourteenth street is I completed at once, and I believe this | soon will be done. I do not know of I any contract work other than this and the Boulevard job which is now un finished. | "As to Peachtree street, that is the I county's work. The city is merely fur nishing the materials for that. Rut I have urged on the county commission ers the need of more speedv work in that street." As to the failure of th? city to col lect the forfeited bonds of contractors, the contention of the suit Is correct. The Georgian published more than a I year ago a long list of contracts which ! ha.i been violated through failure to complete tlie work in specified time, I and in hardly one instance had the city forfeited the bond. In many Instances I the contractors were given double the | time originally set for completing the | work, and permitted to make all kinds j of excuses for failure. A. Price. A.

Dr. Smith, verify ing the fact that he had lost his pocket book, jumped off the train, but his chase was futile.
