Empire Construction Suit Over Montezuma Irrigation Works
The case in Montezuma county accuses Empire Construction Co and partners A Camfield 8 H Shields and J W McCreery of $61,000 for work on the Mon ama Irrigation project and wages breach of contract. The prior Montezuma county 1908 judgment found Crawford defaulted, with liens and subcontracts resolved, leaving about $25,000 in claims against Crawford and $18,000 over credits for finished work. The Denver action reopens the dispute, deemed improper, and hints at political motives in Weld County. The Montezuma Dist irrigation project remains unaffected by the dispute.
