SPARROW v. THE WHITE CLIFFS COMPANY.
TO TIIE EDITOR.
Sin, —In your account of the proceedings-in the Supreme Court (AA'hite Cliffs Company) you give the evidence very well, but I -jould like to remark that the contract, which was about L 4000 in all, was completed without the contractor being able to claim any extra money on it. AA'hat appears as extras are mostly things ordered since the launching aud finishing of the contract or additions thought to be better had at time of building. The time allowed as overtime I considered as only fair. Much more was demanded but not allowed; and had I considered the matter differently, I felt bound by the wording of the conditions of contract to act as I did.—l am. &c, December 15. H. JI. Davey, Engineer.
