Effort to Block City From Penalty for Bridge Delay
Contending the city bears most responsibility for the Matlock street bridge delay, Portland Bridge and Iron Works sought to avoid a $10 per day penalty. Coy Burnett argued the company acted in good faith and that the amendment and extra charges undermined the penalty. The council left settlement to the street committee, with possible compromise to avert suit. The company claimed the city owed $500 more than due, citing rejected market steel and amendments to the original contract. Also noted were $22,000 in subcontractor bills and a Bay City lumber plant start expected to produce 700,000 feet daily.
