At this stage of the work, the board of commissioners had plans and specifications prepared for a new bridge over White River, and proceeded to award a contract to Yawger & Cos. for the construction of the said bridge. “Auditor Fesler doubted the legality of the proceedings and referred the matter to our department for Investigation. In the examination of the records of the proceedings, I found that In preparing the plans and specifications for the bridge, the county engineer thought it advisable to raise the approaches to the bridge and In doing so he prepared the plans and specifications as to cover one mile of the contract formally awarded to the Sheehan Construction Company, without first obtaining the right from said company to cancel one mile of their contract covered by the contract awarded to Yawger & Cos., but after the contract for the fridge had been awarded to Yawger & Cos. an agreement was formulated between 'he board of commissioners and the Sheehan Construction Company in which it was agreed that the contract awarded to the Sheehan Construction Company should be cancelled, in so fur as it related to the one mile covered by the contract awarded to Yawger v Cos., and that the sum of $25,000 should be deducted from the contract held by the Sheehan Construction Company. PAVEMENT 0\ ERLOOKED, "In awarding the contract for thebridge, the concrete pavement on the one mile covered by the bridge plans and specifications was entirely overlooked ana no arrangements made for Its completion.

which they had released Che Construction Company from completing would, at the contract price, amount to the sum of $45,646, whereas they had onlydeducted the 6um of $25,000 and that it would be an Injustice to the taxpayers to compel them to make good this loss. “Mr. Leo K. Fesler, auditor, informed the contractor for the bridge and also the board pL-county commissioners, that he would not pay any claims until our department gave consent for him to do so. A second conference was had between our department and the board of commissioners, and the board was again informed that we could not change our attitude as we believed that the contract for the bridge was not legally awarded. “This conclusion resulted In an agreement being entered fhto between the board of commissioners aud the Yawger Company to cancel the bridge contract.
